Speaking of anyone having a few decent ruckmen, does anyone have a few decent ruckmen?

    Care to explain how a couple of weeks ago would've changed anything?

    A belting by your comrad in crime-the SKYSCRAPER-HT...showed me in less than a week I needed to change my list to stay or be a threat...needed to find better players..Wood for a fair deal ?

    Otten maybe-- Jolly no deal is my reason to look.These I offer you for consideration..You have played without a ruckman for weeks now..None... therefore you are playing a game where you cannot win one section of the game and puts you behind in others.Is that Smart...I don't think so..if you are fair dinkum.You haven't had a ruckman since Renouf went down in Round 12 by memory.

    Didn't you not know that you could propose trades until a couple of weeks ago? Surely you'd know that if you were fair dinkum.

    I realise I should've had a ruck, but at the time I thought it'd be better to grab a half decent mid rather than a 600ish ranked ruck. After a few weeks of that I see that you need a ruck.

    In fairness, there's also been a bit of a lack of luck. 4 rucks I've had this season haven't been playing or have been traded for ones who stopped playing, now I pick up Gorringe and he's dropped (bah!). I've had to cover Jack, Selwood, Curnow, Dawes and Petterd being out often in the past 10 or so rounds which has been difficult. (Obviously, everyone has their hard luck stories).

    45HG i have Andrew Browne from RIchmond. He'll give you 25 hit outs around 10 meaningless possessions but he's almost an adequate number 1 ruckman. Far better than Gorringe. Float an offer and i'll see what I can do. He's my only backup so I'm not entirely keen to give him away but i'm in a helpful mood haha

    I'll have a look. Anyone with spare rucks, flick through my team and see if a player grabs your eye - will save me from scouring through 15 teams.

  • Quote

    Just pray for me that McEvoy doesn't break down 45 or i'll be devestated haha!

    I'd like to say all the best for this weekend but I really need to win so I hope you have a very honourable loss ;)

  • Quote

    Haha I'll be crossing my fingers for you...for McEvoy that is.

    A loss this weekend and I'm cooked - probably am anyway!

    On a complete side note.. Is your display photo taken at Halong Bay, Vietnam by chance?

    Michael Gardiner is available and apparently very close to a game in the ones at St Kilda. Has played rezzies recently.

    I would be prepared to trade Josh Fraser. He is a lock at GC. I'll have a look at your side.

    I agree.

    I am also somewhat suspicious however I will allow snomeD to explain his reasoning for accepting an injured man and two players out of form for 2 gems and another good UF player....

    Smells like Julia Gillard here..

    As ive said on u.f. Im in desperate need for a backman - watsons a walk up start and should be back next week but in any case ive got an abundance of midfielders - green v sylvia not that much difference in last few weeks but green kicks goals which i also need grahams career is over imo and jensch was dominating at the time i pressed accept - didnt realise he would come off injured but thats life - hopefully he plays next week! Ranking wise there is a difference but stats wise not all that much difference - im gaining in areas that i need to imo

    Even after hearing from SnomeD not convinced.

    Sylvia & Andy Swallow far outweigh "Dodgy string Watson" & the 2011 version of Brad Green

    & of course if you do win through to the GF Watson can't play.

    I wont be voting against this however Robbo 24 now looks to be in a very powerful position.

    Good Luck both of you for the remainder of the season.

    Alas the trade got vetoed anyway - am throwing some trades out for backmen - i'm prepared to take a bit of a hit stats wise - obviously if the hits too big it'll just get vetoed anyway - so if you have a decent backman then swallow, sylvia, moloney, bolton up for grabs! Snomed's BASEMENT BARGAIN DEAL OF THE SEASON!

    On another note - up in Darwin to watch the dees last night -what a great city! Have now seen the dees play everywhere except Perth (try to see one i/s game a year) - by far the best place of the lot!!

    To those who vetoed the trade - enjoy the cold weather down there :)

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
