ClarkyHeraldSun Only a matter of time before Gold Coast snares Crow Kurt Tippett. Suns confidence high.

Type of forward we need, guessing they would have to trade for him, should we have a crack?

    If GC have a chance at snaring Tippet it's because he's a Gold Coast boy and wants to head back home. I doubt we'd get a look in.

    Tippett would be great with a hard arsed coach...He has massive talent, but is lazy right now.

    Walker has re-signed

    as has Mckernan

    Tippet is going home, due to him apparently having a get out clause for only a second and third round pick to the club of his choice at the end of next season Crazy i know, Crows will get something decent while they can, from Goldcoast which is where he wants to go,

    Maybe some sly business from GC, getting Tippet to put this into his contract, then steal Bock for free, then get tippet the next year......

    I'd go after Kurt Tippet.

    Agree. He's no more of a long shot than Clark other than he is in contract and will be morke expensive. He's someone I would happily trade 2 first rounders for.

    The Lions were thinking that picks 8 & 12 would be enough. If we were serious, i'd throw pick 12 and a compo pick at them.

    But there is no chance of landing him. Crows no doubt want the best compo for him, but why would he come to Melbourne when he has stated he wants to go back home. Mitch Clark all over again.

    I think you're right but still worth enquiring. We certainly rattled Mitch Clark with our offer and sometimes the reason for leaving could be hidden, You're not exactly going to say "Hey coach, can you trade me?, this place is a s@#t hole"

    I'm sure we have made an offer to him. Seeing as we made Clark an offer. So let's see.

    I hope we go hard. Tippet is a gun!

    The trouble is that he can't kick accurately and, as far as I can recall, has never been able to kick accurately. I feel that we are attracted to the idea of a highly performing Tippett rather than the reality. The sum certainly doesn't equal the parts imo.

    Is Tippett really worth that much more than Clark?

    Or is it only because he is contracted?

    Well he is contracted for 1 year. Tippett is the better forward while Clark would probably be the better Ruck and around the ground.

    Agreed. Not a Tippett fan at all. Was in the basketball system too long and doesn't have the footy nouse that I think Clark has. I'd actually take Clark over Tippett all things equal.

    Another positive out of trading with Brisbane- they now have the ammo to lure Tippet. Why is this good?

    Because it keeps him away from GC. GC are going to be a threat to us, so every decent footballer they fail to lure is a positive for us. Will be happy if he ends up at Brisbane, as I don't see them as a threat to our window.

    Still wouldn't mind getting Tippet, but we probably need to take two top midfielders next year with our compo picks.

    • 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.
