And why do people keep putting Jack Viney down as a second round pick? It's not going to happen and the sooner we recognise that fact, the better. GC or GWS are NOT going to allow him to come to us for basically nothing.

Totally agree.

...... if GC and GWS are prepared to have Viney on their list instead of Whitfield, Toumpas, Grundy etc. Viney was rated about 6-8th recently. GC and GWS have to get the best pick for their club, there is no point taking Viney if they aren't prepared to have him with that pick.

Daniher is different, every club would nominate him, because he is rated as a top 2 pick easily in this draft, it's a no brainer and each club would jump at the chance.

GC and GW are more concerned with their own draft, than what pans out for the MFC.

I agree that GWS will not bid on Viney. GC are another matter. They are playing silly buggers in their comments to the press saying that they need a good inside mid and Viney is the best in the draft, but there could be some truth in it. If they are truly looking to draft for type with their pick 2 they could very well make a legitimate bid on him. It would in that case be a win/win for them. They either get the best inside mid in the draft or they force our hand and reduce the number of live picks ahead of their second pick in the draft.

The real question is are they really thinking that way or is it all just silly buggers before draft/trade time?

They are bull-[censored]. At this stage - but things change.

Melbourne need a BIG announcement to stay to be credible. Name a superstar in the competition that would be willing to join Melbourne and be lectured to like a High School Kid. This is the dilemma for us.

CASEY: Richmond
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.

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.

It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G.

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.
