There's an article in the Herald Sun that Trent West is looking at possible suitors. I think he will be a good option for Melbourne to look at during trade. He's only 23.

Before you shoot me down just remember that Mumford couldn't get a game in front of Blake.

    That's only because of the Blake GF situation in 2007.

    Mumford had been pushing Blake out early in the year.

    I've seen West up close quite a few times and I just don't see anything special about him.

    The Cats have Simpson and Vardy coming through - they'll be fine.

    E25, where looking for a second ruckman to back up Jamar not a primary ruckman. Earlier in the year I thought he rucked pretty well and then went forward and took a few big marks.

    I believe he will be a good back up ruckman for Jamar!

    I think he'd be a great acquisition. I'd love to have him at the DEES.

    Think we could do a lot worse than this kid. A lot more upside than Blake that's for sure.

    Can't see us having to pay over the top for him, could get away with a 2nd rounder (Geelong got pick 28 for Mumford).

    No way in hell I'd be willing to trade our pick 32 for West, I'd be looking more at pick 66 or 49 at most.

    I'm not totally against the idea of West but I'd be more keen on Fraser, Hale or Charman while we wait for Fitzpatrick to come on.

    Or my prefered option in that we rookie draft a mature age ruckman from the VFL, WAFL or SANFL in the event that Jamar gets injured. As for the 2nd ruckman option Martin, Spencer & Fitzpatrick can battle that out next year I say.

    I don't think i would be too Happy if the MFC traded for Josh Fraser, rather keep what we already have than get that Joke.

    I still remember that day Jeff White made him look stupid and i don't think he has ever recovered. B)

    That was 2006 QB match when Fraser managed to kick a goal on White and gave him a send off as White ran to the bench even though we were still 5 goals up wasn't it?

    I remember that, made him look like even a bigger d*ck then we already know he is.

    My preference is to stick to what we want also. If we trade at all I'm happy for it to be Maric (who I hear wants out) for an improved draft pick.

    yes Fraser gave Jeff the Bird, and Jeff made him pay enormously.

    It was pure Art to watch.

    God i hope the Filth lose tomorrow!!!!!! B)

    where did you hear this?

    i think maric could havfe a break out season next year, and he is still under contract.

    It was mentioned in one of the other threads,

    Post 35 in Mock Trades.

    I'd be happy to keep Maric as I think he has a lot of talent. But also think if the right deal came along he's definatly tradeable as we have other good players who can play his type of role.

    Edit: Update

    Since we got Maric at pick 22, I'd accept nothing less than pick 30.

    Fair enough to. You could get pick 29 from Richmond or pick 30 from Essendon if they loose one of Davey or Jetta. Could possibly grab pick 23 from the Bulldogs also if we throw in say pick 49 with him.

    But back onto West I suspect he'll probably stay at Geelong next year and the Cats will move Blake onto somewhere like Richmond, Port Adelaide, Gold Coast or possibly even St. Kilda if Gardiner retires after todays match.

    • 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.
