I understand and appreciate the "Trengove factor" however there a few blokes on our list that hold no currency and should be shown the door pronto.

However it its a case of the players at least getting a couple of weeks stress Free R&R then good on the club for allowing them that luxury,

    Howe, Grimes and 2nd round pick for Bennel + 3rd round pick

    Watts and Garland for Redden

    Garland = FA...

    Yeah, someone mentioned the other day he can still be bundled up in a trade. I'll have a look and see if I can find it.

    Very unlikely - he has to agree. Why would he agree if he can simply go wherever he wants as a RFA?

    We can threaten to match the salary, but if we are trying to trade him - that doesn't make it seem like we are really going to match the salary...

    Technically possible, but undeniably implausible.

    Only if we match the offer. Yet to happen under free agency.

    It can't just happen in a bundle.

    Wonder if Andrew Moore has ever appealed to our recruiting team. Like his size and right now he holds more appeal to me than Jake Melksham.

    Yep, Moore's on my shopping list for the off season. Could be a real valuable utility. In our 22 if you ask me.

    All I have heard this week is that MFC would be mad to get rid of Watts and Howe (AFL 360 Maclure & King and in one paper). At delisting time expect those without currency and out of contract who will not be offered new contracts i.e. Bail, Riley, McKenzie and maybe Terlich as well as the retirees Cross & Jamar, maybe even Hunt onto rookie list to a total of 6 and of. Roos said the other night uncontracted players like Howe can still be negotiating until end of October and of course Garland is a free agent. Any movement of contracted players is a bit more complicated and there are those who want to leave like those at GWS and GC who want to leave and those who don't want to leave like Jack who openly states he wants to stay.

    When did Beams move on from Collingwood? It was really late. I don't expect any major changes at the first announcement and no real surprises

    I think we should take a lot of comfort that we are not leaking players like GWS, Brisbane and Gold Coast.

    In fact most are making a case to stay.

    This would suggest a very positive feeling in the group about the future and a strong bond between the players.

    Hope I'm right.

    as a top up to our list, obviously we won't get 8 A graders, maybe 1, or 2 IF we are very lucky, so I'm happy for him as a replacement of Bail, MJones, or McKenzie,

    Melbourne delists:

    Fitzy

    McKenzie

    Riley

    Bail

    No surprises I guess but always sad a demon player go.

    They did their best in tough circumstances.

    Wish them well.

    That makes at least 6 list changes.

    Don't be ridiculous!

    Is 11 the maximum we can move on in 1 year??

    Hardly. Was an athlete with a poor football IQ. Only possible position for him was as a fwd/2nd ruck, but he couldn't ruck and was a useless forward.

    No maximum.

    Toumpas

    Howe

    Garland

    Watts

    Grimes

    Dawes

    Terlich

    M.Jones

    I would still keep Watts, he has upside and possibly plenty of it.

    For mine the sad part is out of the six gone plus 9 I've mentioned, Cross was the best of the lot. That says a lot about why we are where we are. We've clung on for too long blaming everyone but the players themselves.

    Hes had upside since he was drafted, still waiting to see him realise it.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
