Wow does Freo really want to bring in top end talent or will they remain a team just happy to being thereabouts.
It's 10&11 or no deal.
Option 2, get him to west coast for pick 3. Worst case we hold on to him!
DEES EYE SECOND TOP PICK
Melbourne has its eyes on acquiring another first-round pick as it looks to load up at this year’s talent-stacked national draft.
The Demons, as it stands, hold their natural first-round selection (Pick 5) after their disappointing 2024 campaign.
But Melbourne is keen for a second early pick in this year’s draft, to the point where it’s prepared to trade away its future first-rounder.
“This is an outstanding draft. We’d love another pick. We think it’s a ripper to be involved in,” Melbourne list boss Tim Lamb said.
The Demons have their eyes on one of Fremantle’s first-round selections (either Pick 10 or 11), while they’re also among a host of clubs in the race for Gold Coast’s prized Pick 13.
Fremantle is open to a trade, with list boss David Walls suggesting his club was keen on turning one of its three 2024 first-rounders (Picks 10, 11 and 18) into a 2025 first-rounder selection.
That’s definitely a chance. There’s a lot of clubs keen to get back in so we’ll see what happens at the end of trade period and see how many of the first-rounders we’re still holding and if we’ve traded or not,” Walls told AFL Trade Radio on Monday.
“If we’re still holding three, we’d definitely look to roll one forward because we think there’s a strong market for it and we could get overs.”
But Fremantle’s willingness to trade with Melbourne could come down to their pursuit of contracted Tiger Shai Bolton.
The Dockers, according to The Age, are prepared to use Picks 11 and 18 in a trade for contracted Tiger Bolton – who’s keen to join the WA club – but won’t hand over Picks 10 and 11 for the Richmond goalkicker.
