This is my wish list of players to fill holes in our side.

Who are F/A

(U)=Unrestricted

®=Restricted

BACK LINE: Harry O'brien®,Jordan Russell(U),Corey Enright(U),Sam Fisher®,Josh Drummond®

CENTER LINE: Daniel Kerr(U),Luke Hodge(U).Chris Knights(U),Leigh Montagna(U),Brendon Goddard®,Brent Stanton®Shannon Byrnes(U)

FORWARD LINE:Travis Cloke®,Angus Monfries®,Steve Johnson(U),Paul Chapman(U)(U)Justin Koschitzke(U)Quinten Lynch(U)

I know some of these guys will be hard to get but as you can see there is some real talent there and i get the feeling Mark Neeld will go hard to get the players he wants.

The bottom line is money can talk. Just ask Tom

If we can get one guy from each line it would help us alot till our skinny kids grow.

Who do you guys like out of this lot?

    Would love several.

    I suspect the better ones will re-sign with their club, be hideously over-priced or only have one good year left in them.

    Having said that... Hodge and Chappy thanks.

    Disagree with most of your list. The vast majority are too old for our needs. A few just aren't worth the effort.

    While I can see the appeal of Cloke, he would be ruinously expensive and would more or less kill the career of Cook. I would prefer we stay clear of him and look at players who are a little more reasonably priced and who will help our midfield to function.

    Enright is a UFA, eh? Hmmmmm........

    I like the idea but what possibly has the MFC that will attract a FA from a club like Geelong?

    Not very fruitful, particularly when he is the son-in-law of the President.....

    Im sure you could see where I was coming from. He has been playing at a premiership dynasty for years and will go down as one of the greats (underated) of that era.

    3 flags, 2 b&f's, 4 time AA team member, I'm sure he would love to end his career where it started.

    A new challenge?

    A team on the up as Geelong is on the decline?

    Costa is the former president fwiw.

    i dont think the cats will slip back as far as people think, a couple of years around the middle & then they'll be there abouts again. Got some good kids down there.

    I would love him, he has dash, great 1 on 1 and doesn’t turn it over. Boy wouldn’t he stand out!

    Very underrated, B&F in a premiership team and considering the players around him shows just how highly he is regarded.

    Unfortunately he strikes me as a one club player, best clubman type.

    Pick 47 in the draft too - What a return!

    • 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.

      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?

    • 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.
