Memo to MFC

Surely Dean Towers now at pick 20. He showed he is too good for VFL. Played and beat many AFL listed players in VFL. At 22yo, mature, runs and carries. Lock it in.

Mark Neeld must have his mobile number on speed dial.

Maybe have a look with a compo pick if we get one in the 20's dont think he will make it to the 30's

    If we don't secure Dawes in a trade, then lock in Towers. If he is available at pick 20 we cannot let him get through.

    Agree , if we keep pick 20, and Dean Towers is available... Shout him OUT.

    This kid could be available in the 3rd round. Run and carry type mentioned in a few other posts. Beat Trent Croads standing vertical jump. A good Age 22.

    If we took Grundy for instance this kid could be ready to go.

    I'm not very keen on this guy. I haven't seen him play and so can't really pass judgement on him but looking at the VFL stats he was named in Nth ballarats best only once during the entire season and that was 5th best. That doesn't sound too convincing to me!

    Dean Towers

    Kevin Sheehan says: “Medium midfielder who was a member of the VFL State squad this year . Is a player who can break the lines with his speed and agility in traffic and is strong overhead . Mature aged player having a consistent year in VFL.”

    Wasn't that the talk from McClardy at a meeting mid-year with 50 invited members to communicate to the supporters that the crap that was coming from the media was unsubstatiated? There was talk of software purchased/set up to search the country for mature age players who can break lines, or something along those lines. I got the impression from McLardy's comments that the club was playing "moneyball" to source players unoticed on the fringes that had good "indicators" in the midfield.

    If he can break lines, than surely the club is aware of him.

    I was a big fan of Towers in 2012 and was disappointed that we could not get him onboard.

    I think the Dees should try to grab Dean Towers now.  He has been squeezed out from Sydneys best 22. Yet everytime I see him play, his pace and ballwinning is a standout. Very good overhead mark. I think he would compliment our hard inside mids.

    Offer a 3 year deal and he might be a prize.  Swans will have some serious salary cap pressure.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
