If it is pick 3 that we do get what do you reckon we should do because we would no longer have Boyd as trade power?

    I think it makes sense for the afl to give us pick 1 but its only for trade I think clubs will be lining up to get it

    Yeah, well I can give you a very good reason why he might want to live elsewhere. He should be talked to.

    I'm waiting with bated breath for that very good reason.

    We already have one "magnet" and he doesn't get a game.

    Magners historically have a reasonable motor but their gear box is garbage.

    I'm not about to give it. Needless to say, he has split from his wife because of it (that's public news) and might want to get out of SA.

    Here is real target Anthony Miles as reported today he is confirmed up for trade he is hard and will appeal to us third or fourrth round pick will get him if not preseason.

    Yep would go for him for sure. Dominates the NEAFL league and would step straight into our line up.

    Perfect off season: no need for a pp

    Pick 2: Taylor Adams and pick 10

    Pick 10: Scott selwood/David swallow or who ever wants to come home

    Second round pick: Nathan freeman

    Third round pick: zac jones

    Pre-season draft: Daniel cross

    Would be a dream come true.

    Except maybe Luke Dunstan at second round?

    I still think there is a place for blokes like d.cross to play 16 games per year and be well rested and primed for the games needed

    not sure if that's what we want though

    In the herald sun back page sport section

    Importance of midfield depth underscored by Tiges today.

    We just need more natural ball winning mids so we have the rotations required.

    Am I missing something? Why do so many of these hypotheticals include pick 10?

  • Quote

    It's amazing how quickly Hawthorn and Sydney players can get kicks and handpasses off. So many of our midfielders take about three weeks to kick the ball, players like Jack and Mitchell are just so quick with their hands and feet which means they can cope under immense pressure becuase they rarely get caught.

    Mitchell is top 5 sharpest with hands and feet in televised football history I reckon, so if we're looking for that kind of talent, we'll be looking a loooooong time.

    Roos just said his son has put together a list of players for us to target. Go Tyler! Lol

    ...and he hits targets. I reckon in the coming draft that is one of the things Aish brings. Admittedly I've only watched a couple of 18's games but he's very good with the ball under pressure.

    List management meeting at 10.30 tomorrow. Straight into it. Says he already has players in his mind that he wants

    where you hearing this Demonof1994?

    Was talking on Fox Footy about 10 minutes ago mate

    I think GWS have a pick (currently 10) which was a compo pick (not sure what for or from who)

    Maybe he is our new senior assistant coach to take over from the old man!

    Possibly a Geelong one for Ablett that floated around being GC and GWS and mini trades and so on. But yes I believe they do but I wouldn't at all be surprised if it heads to Essendon in exchange for Bellchambers. If GWS pay the coin and convince him to come it's the right trade value for a ready made decent enough and young enough ruck. It's about what Jolly got traded for twice.

    I find it funny that I bet Roos will be trying to do exactly what Neeld tried to do last season - trade some talented senior players and some fillers, although he'll definitely attract a better quality than Neeld. I feel for Mark Neeld as his strategy was right to a degree, just couldnt pull it off.

    • 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.
