Spencer may become a decent 1st choice ruckman, but Gawn will be a better 1st choice ruckman.

hahahaha ... yeah right. But as I said what we think is irrelevant. We are biased.

They are interested in Gawn ... you keep whoever you want because you think he "may become a decent 1st choice ruckman"

You sound so convincing ... other clubs are not stupid. In any trade their is two parties. In the real world, the only way we will move Spencer on this year is for next to nothing, assuming we are only using 3 draft picks is this weak draft. Oh ... yes and we would probably have to cop some of his salary as well.

But yes .... its going to be simple ... you are dreaming!!!

    There is more teams other than Richmond with a shortage of Ruckman

    Ruck Stocks

    Keep

    Jamar

    Martin

    Gawn

    Fitzpatrick

    Campbell

    Trade Bait

    Spencer

    Delist

    Newton

    The only other Tall we might have trouble keeping is Warnock

    Spencer is not genuine "trade bait" ... I cant see any other club being interested after a knee reco.

    The only possibly genuine trade bait would be Jamar, Martin & Gawn ... but we would & should not be interested.

    Where is the bias?

    You act as if I'm trying to convince you or someone of something.

    I simply think that both of Gawn and Spencer have the capacity to become decent first choice ruckmen, and that Gawn will be better, so he is the one we want to keep.

    Other clubs don't have to be stupid. If they are desperate for a ruckman, they can have Spencer - at a price.

    If they don't want him - good on them. They can look elsewhere.

    You underestimate the value of a good ruckman and how other clubs would view his potential and worth.

    What's simple and obvious is that you need some practice in reading others' posts accurately.

    Can I just ask - on SEN they were talking about Max having not yet signed a contract when DB was on last night. Confirm that he in fact has signed til 2013?

    Again you miss the point. Its all about ease of getting the "trade" done. Time after time it is you who displays your complete lack of knowledge about the system.

    a/ Its not "tricky" & b/ If they are desperate for a ruckman, they can have Spencer - at a price.

    What again is even more painfully obvious.

    a/ You cant demonstrate the ability to negotiate in the "real world".

    b/ You have no ability to asses the true ability of the players from both sides of the trade.

    c/ You have no appreciation of the complete complex nature of your very own argument.

    d/ You demonstrate time after time a simplistic onside approach to everything in the trading and drafting process.

    f/ You talk with no logical overall strategy .... combined with the fact you have no ability to outline and compare the current draft or trading situations.

    d/ You just consistently fail to understand where the real power lies in the whole drafting and trading process.

    You are not alone around here. However, you are a wordsmith. Good on you.

    I'm not saying that - I was under the impression from various posting on here that Max had signed a 2year extension, but according to the interview they were chatting as if he hasn't.

    Your posts aren't referring to anything I'm talking about, and you seem to be unable to grasp what I'm saying, so there is no issue of 'lack of knowledge'.

    Once again, from now on you will be ignored in this thread.

    Someone else can respond to your gobbledigook.

    Salary cap pressure ?

    If any club is under salary cap pressure it's Collingwood and Carlton .... not us .

    Yes, salary cap pressure.

    The others (Power clubs) have they're ways of getting buys, don't they.

    • 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.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag.

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?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
