Tippett is arguably the best player on offer this year and is exactly who we need standing at CHF. Combined with Clark, we would just about have the best forward duo in the league.

Why are we going after a bloke (Dawes) that can't do anything other than run around like a headless chook, when a more complete player is ready to be made an offer.

It's well documented that we have a lot of spare salary so why not spend it on a player that has proven himself to be what we need rather than average players that 'might' become something.

Its time to stop 'experimenting' and DO SOMETHING!

Yes he is most likely to head home, but for us not to at least make an offer is a big mistake.

    They'll be drinking the bong water and crying in to their cloudy beers.

    Won't help those alleged threats to him (pathetic thing to do), but watching the Swans you can't blame him for wanting to go there. They seem to have something special, and getting him will be a massive boost to Sydney's chances next year.

    Is there anyone from the Swans we could look at in order to assist their trade?

    Another AFL assisted Club raid - Scully and Tippett. Crows have had worst run than us, Bock, Davis & now Tippett - all funded by the AFL

    As long as we crack the Sydney market and "grow the business" etc then who cares.

    As long as morons from AFL states fund the venture.

    Spot on I would be filthy if I were a crow fan. If the reports that Sydney are willing to cough up 900k a year for him are true he will be the 2nd most over paid player in the league. If tippet is worth that then buddy is worth 1.5 million a year.

    I'd love to get Dan Hannebery back to Melbourne, but pick 13 wouldn't be enough and pick 4 is too much. And why would he want to leave such a great club ?

    Pick 13 plus which player ?? Col ?

    Anyway, a pipe dream.

    Power move by the Swans to 'sign' a player that they have no hope of getting without organising a trade...

    We will see.

    Seems a bit of airhead to me to think he can tell the Crows 'nah, the Premiers instead thankz, Luv TipDog'...

    Going to be very interesting to see how Tippett actually gets to the swans.

    They have the lowest draft picks to offer, they can't get him in the draft if Adelaide refuses to trade.

    But more interesting will be the 'renown' bloods culture. The only way to secure Tippett will be to offload some players ... curious to know how strong that culture is when it is likely that they will have to give up some serious sort of player in order to get Tippett. I can't see Adelaide agreeing to anything less than one of their top 10 players off of the list.

    Are the swans prepared to damage their culture by being required to trade away a player potentially of the class of Hannebery, Jetta, Rohan or Kennedy.... Because that is what they will need to do to satisfy Adelaide. Bringing in a third party I don't think will help either, as the third party is going to want a quality 'premiership' player as well.....

    If the culture is as good as it is, why would any of these players want to leave, the club just won a premiership, they are likely to be on a better salary due to the extra cap,..

    I'd be tempted to do pick 4 for hannebry

    We would do that in a heartbeat. 29 disposals in a GF at 21 years of age.

    Or maybe it is because of the million dollar offer on the table?

    This is going to be interesting and will potentially cause a logjam.

    If he is willing to move to Sydney, then you would think he would be willing to move to Melbourne?

    It could be a long couple of weeks.

    I love Hannebery, but I wouldn't.

    Although I acknowledge that the club probably would. It's something the club would consider if they can get Viney in the second round.

    I don't want to waste too much time on this one, but I would be all over Hannebery like a fat kid on a cupcake if there were any chance of landing him.

    The thought of having he and Viney leading our midfield for the next ten years...

    Nor will I, as my history discussing the virtues with Hannebery should be pretty well known to most.

    • 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.
