Agree, the knee worries me too.

I wonder if an 18 year old Judd's shoulders would have worried us?

Get on the Jager train!

WTF??? How could Petracca be a role model, he's 19 and yet to play game!

Staggering isn't it..

As mentioned by a couple of authors,Grimes or Trengove to be kept at Demonland for very little money. Rookies get $80,000 plus per annum,I wished that I get paid that much, very little money…..can only dream.

The Trengove [censored] off to Richmond was a load of bullsh.t,never going to happen,only used as exercise to lay down the law to players underperforming.Trengove will get back to his best next year however may not get a gig in the midfield.

Ridiculous comment contrary to all the evidence we have seen. First of all JT was not underperforming - he was injured so it doesn't lay the law down to anyone. Plus Richmond would not have bothered with a medical if the deal was a sham & both Trengove & Roos have indicated in interviews that the deal would have gone ahead.

Agreed, CF. Bilious History is a special branch of fantasy fiction.

A demonland speciality too, et

So if people are shying from O'Meara, does that make people concerned about Prestia?

I omeara was on the table id go hard, the kid is an amazing talent

Dermott Brereton has said previously that in the year before the 2001 draft Hawthorn would have taken Judd with Pick 1 if he'd been eligible. They decided one year later because of his shoulders that they'd take Hodge instead. However, that decision would have been helped by the knowledge that Hodge was likely to be a superstar.

Just trying to say that just because a kid has an injury doesn't mean he won't be any good.

But having said that would you rather Judd or Hodge, still an impossible le decision if you ask me.

O'Meara would be worth a punt, but his knees are a big concern. Potential to be one of the greats, but also a chance he can never string together a full season. What would we have to pay? Is our first pick worth the risk? Maybe we could ask Richmond's doctor to put him through his paces before we make them an offer.

I quite like the idea of targeting another tall forward, as I don't rate Dawes and still think King is a long way off. Day would be my preference over Dixon, especially if it's to be believed that Brisbane are driving Dixon's price through the roof.

yep, Henderson is the one currently avail' . hes the perfect foil for our current list... we don't want 2 kids we're waiting for, to potentially develop.

trengove, dunn, frost

jetta, T-Mac, cross,

kent, tyson, salem

watts, Henderson, petracca

garlett, Colonel, fitzpatrick

spencer, brayshaw, jones,

selwood, garland, lamumba, viney, vandenborg, toumpas, stretch, neal-bullen, grimes, weideman, white, howe, aish,

I would take a punt on O'Meara. We need to inject some pedigree into this team even if it means taking an educated risk.

Absolutely, our first pick and Howe. It's not an overly strong draft so why not?

Judd in his prime over Hodge.

Straight swap for a free agent? Nah

Very good point!

Forgot Leuy is an FA.

Anyone know if Adam Treloar is any closer to re-signing, or do we think he's in play?

 

whether or not he's in play might be irrelevant, as we're at 100% of the cap, don't have anyone notable on big money going (possible exception being jamar), and have a couple of reasonably significant players - garland, howe - out of contract.

also, i can't see treloar leaving gws, and if he does, i can't seem him heading for the dees.

That cant be true, unless its a strange season where a lot of players staggered contracts are getting the bulk of their money in 2015

We will have a lot of room in the cap next season for sure

  • 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.
