Would it be a good time to make a play for Reid on account of today? I reckon he is good, but can't play where he plays best with Tippett and Buddy in the team.

    After today thevSwans won't be letting this kid go. In fact Horse is probably lamenting he didn't go with an extra running player or two. Reid was a waste of space, they had Buddy, Tippett, Goodes but they were smashed around the ball so it didn't matter who you had up forward.

    I don't know about that. The Swans looked awfully slow today which is a big reason why Mitchell isn't getting a game.

    Agree, Swans looked slow. They will be so keen to add genuine leg speed that you can see some bundling of players eg Mitchell, Reid, Membrey to address that glaring need.

    Wouldn't touch Reid. Looks soft & quite disinterested.

    They might go for Dangerfield considering they don't have a salary cap it's not out of the question.

    there was a pretty strong rumour that they would sign another star after moving some players on and freeing up some more salary cap room.

    Jetta, Rohan... They have leg speed, they just played like spuds.

    Reid is hopeless, want nothing to do with him!

    I think Mitchell is probably more likely to leave after Saturday. He is on massive dollars to be a fringe player and, even if he does become a regular next year, he would only be replacing a similar type, not adding somtheing different to the mix.

    They have invested too much in Jetta and Rohan to let them go, but Rohan in particular is a very ordinary footballer.

    I would also not be suprised to see Reid on the trade table - the Swans will be keen to bring in a decent ruckman, so a trade with the Dogs might be of interest to them.

    Swans loss was not the forwards fault, it was the midfields. In particular it was in the ruck that they were smashed. Hawthorn mostly had first use of the ball. On the odd occasion that Sydney did win the clearance it usually ended with a set shot on goal. Sydney will try and address its ruck situation. They lost Mumford to get Buddy, they now need to replace Mumford with another decent ruck to win the Premiership...... they will go all out. I think their midfield can match Hawthorns but not without a ruckman winning their fair share of taps to advantage.

    Reid played a shocker in the GF. On that form alone you would say no.

    Well it reads well but in fact Pyke won the ruck duels and Swans did ok in centre clearances. I do agree however that Swans gave away a lot in letting Mumford go but would they play another ruckman in the side with Tippett already in the side?

    I think we should make a real pitch for Malcevski. Really can play and brings character and leadership to the table

    With Chip gone and a likely pick 3, or possibly ~pick 10 we will not go for Malcevski. It will counter our FA compensation, thus we would lose this early pick.

    Which in a nutshell is why FA is unfair and lopsided.

    No problems we trade for him pick 98.

    Can a FA choose to be traded to his club of choice rather than simply aquired?

    Yes, Port traded in two players (Shultz and ?) in 2012 to protect their FA picks...they ended up getting two 2nd round picks for their 'exports' which were very valuable as they were way down the ladder. These imports/picks really helped their climb up the ladder in 2013/4.

    They really understood how to work the system. We diluted our Moloney/Rivers picks by getting Byrnes.

    And he was such good value - not.

    • 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.
