"Stiffy" is out of contract at years end. Doesn't seem to have a spot at the crows. Probably got 2 serviceable years left, great skills (can take kick outs). Obviously isn't going to thrust us into the top 4, but could play a role. What's everyone's thoughts?

On a side note, Daniel Cross seems to be another our of favour at the dogs, could add some midfield depth and is also a hard worker with leadership qualities.

Discuss.

    It's getting to the stage for me that I would take anyone we can get. Both would definitely fill holes for a couple of years and teach the kids a thing or two.

    Just a question (and in no way having a go), why do many posters on forums end an OP with 'Discuss'?
    Being a discussion forum I would assume that is implied. Sorry to point it out but it is just one of those little things that for whatever reason grinds my gears :)

    Don't think so, he should have retired at least a year ago. If we're going to chase out of contract players there's quite a few others I'd go after first.

    As long as they don't do a Rodan and recruit him but not bother playing him.

    Has to earn a game first. I think Johncock could be a decent pick up, in better form than Rodan was anyway.

    Can't run like he used to, does a hammy at least once a year, and takes him six weeks to recover these days.

    Still a competitive player but a long way past his best.

    It's a no for me.

    Johncock's been fat for years. No thanks.

    Cross would interest me because he's of such high quality off the field. However I'm not sure he's be of much use at all on the field

    No thats, I'd prefer that we give Davey another year than recruit some other clubs retirees for a year or two.

    Besides, i'd prefer we keep the changes to the list limited to the top end draft picks we will have, and some high quality players via FA/Trade

    Sorry I'm getting bitter...

    I couldn't stand another year of the media scum critising "scattergun" trades. I think we already have enough had beens, or never will be's on our list....

    We should focus our energies on getting mid 20's players who can play now and for the next 5-6 yrs to create stability and confidence in the list.

    Richard Douglas is what we need from the crows..... He just keeps getting better....

    Simon Black and Brent Harvey are the only veterans I'd consider at the end of this year.

    Black has aspirations to coach and we need someone to teach Toumpas, Viney etc how to play. Could play a real role as an 'on-field' midfield coach for 1 year, followed by 2 years as Midfield Coach.

    Prefer that I took a passive aggressive approach and force fed my thoughts, good sir? Haha

    With the negativity surrounding several players long term place at our club, the footy department will need a plan b, or a "worst case scenario" if you like. I think cross has plenty to offer. I think stiffy could be a good stop gap, but as others have said, injuries and being burnt by rodan's impact probably put us off of that idea.

    totally agree, and grabbing him would ease the pain of losing Scott Thompson.. Maybe?

    • 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.
