Also word is Sandilands wants out of Freo, so they may offer him for pick 2? Personally I don't think he's worth pick 2.

I'd be surprised if that were the case. He's from WA, they usually don't like moving east...

He's 26 at the end of this year, so I don't think we'd be trading a 1st round pick for him tbh. Great player, but not a good fit for where our list is at (in terms of giving up a 1st round pick).

    PSD pick 1 shouldn't be forgotten.

    True. I didn't think of that. But it's not really that crucial. I'd still prefer no wooden spoon.

    And the PSD is different, anyway, right? The picks are usually pre-determined - there isn't much competition. I doubt any club would have taken Jurrah after us in the PSD. So it's not too important, pick 2 as opposed to pick 1.

    So, in this year's draft:

    ND Picks #1, #2, #18, #34, #50, (66)?

    PSD #1

    Can play but don't think he'll be as good as those five. Mind you though who knows how Cale will turn out, has the potential to be anything.

    I'm more than willing to give Morton some time. Given the way he's been growing, he's still a few years off getting his body sorted out. Once he fills out I think we'll find ourselves with a top line wing/mid something along the lines of Adam Goodes (I admit the comparison comes to mind after seeing him playing on Goodes last week). With his size and running, he could turn into a serious handful for the opposition.

    Trengove at pick 2 for mine....

    This is him playing at Sturt in the seniors

    Morton :wub:

    We have to re-sign him first. It's ridiculous that we haven't given him a four year deal. If that's the asking rate, he's worth it. Sure him up, with GC and WS coming into it.

    It could prove vital. It depends who's in the PSD, but this year, I wouldn't mind predicting that with GC on the cards, there might be a few shock names to join the PSD, so having the first pick is brilliant.

    So we would need atleast six valid spots, robbo, mcdonald, whelan assuming they retire then wich 3 do we let go?

    Whilst some people may not be too impressed with another spoon don't underestimate the benefit of being at the start of every round in the draft as a result. We picked off a few players last year (Bennell/Jetta) because we were 1 spot in front of WCE who were after them both. The fact that we have (not just 1,2) but 18, 34 etc will be damn important. We could still get a decent player at 18.

    No way.

    We've all heard about how we were the most professional of the amateur clubs and the most amateur of the professional clubs, well welcome to the the world of corporate football! Forget about the footy you grew up watching as a kid, it's a different game now, a game of commercial imperatives. Tanking is as practical as it is logical. Vlad won't admit it, but he doesn't need to. The AFL is a quasi-socialist construction anyway, but the alternative of rampant capitalist free marketers would kill us off in the blink of an eye. I don't lose any sleep about it, it's just how footy is now, the game must change with it's environment or go the way of the dodo.

    ????

    Hodge was not a PSD#1 pick

    If he is out of contract, I doubt he will not stay at the Hawks. And he certainly wont end up in the PSD

    It could indeed. Its a nice card to have when another Clubs negotiations are going badly with a very good player.

    What I meant was he might slip through to the PSD. You never know, more of a pipe dream, but if it did we could make him captain and get him for basically nothing. :P

    Oh my god he is 8 years old! :unsure::wacko::lol:

    With every passing draft I feel like I've aged 10 years.

    Happy to hear Trengove say that he just wants to be drafted and doesn't care where. Pack your bags son, because you ain't staying in S.A., that's for sure.

    They wouldn't let him go. No chance, not unless he wanted to, which i doubt because his family has relocated to Melbourne to watch him and his brother play. Plus he wouldn't be that dumb leaving the Dee's with all the potential we have....or will have.

    If they don't sign him up now, you never know, GC might well lure him away. Particulary, when some player agents are more concerned about getting the best investment for themselves, rather than getting a deal in their clients best interests. If we offer him a long term contract, that's saying, 'we value your services, Cale'. If we don't, it's saying, 'well, we don't want to committ to you just yet'. Under normal circumstances, I'd say leave it another year, before offering him a big contract, but with the spectre of GC looming, I'm getting a little touchy underneath the collar.

    They all say that. He's not exactly going to come out and say that he refuses to leave SA, will he? Still, looks like a great prospect.

    wasnt butcher meant to be our second choice?

    The AFL will give us to November to decide...

    Freo 17.14.116

    Port 11.7.73

    Ouch.

    I would take Picks 1+3 over 1+2 and wooden spoon any day of the week.

    We'll probably get thrashed by Freo next week.

    This is the perfect year to win the wooden spoon, makes us the big player on draft day.

    The Spoon is no longer a big deal.

    on the cards? it has been cemented now. Not Good
    Of course it has been cemented now. Much easier to say after the game than at quarter time don't you think?

    I agree. In fact the big prize is the Premiership Cup, always will be. Picks 1 and 2 are the next best prize.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
