Motlop is perfect for Richmond, he is well suited to their downhill skiing.

    Remember Todd Viney a few years back going on about four pillars they were looking for in recruits:

    ... the recruiters rank the players on competitiveness, physical attributes, football attributes and character.

    Not sure if Motlop fits all of these.

    Or any of them......

    Zanotti files?

    Initially I wasn't keen.

    But with none of the clubs being interested in him driving the asking price right down, along with Geelong desperately needing to clear cap space for Deledio and Tuohy- it's definitely become appealing.

    And Geelong have a good history of doing generous trades to allow their players to land where they want without hassle.

    Hope we get him, or anyone. This trade period is coma inducing.

    So you want someone just because you want a trade done? Good reason.

    Cheers

    If no one is interested then clubs must know something we don't.  We all know how inconsistent he can be, which includes some electrifying performances and some absolute shockers, and I understand why some supporters would be interested.  But if he is being dangled as trade bait and no one is keen, what's the problem?  Cats asking for too much?  Clubs don't think he can get any better than he currently is?  Pest off the field?

    Who knows, but if the FD are showing no interest in him then I'd hazard a guess that he is not someone really worth pursuing.

    What's the deal with Viv Michie? Can we use him in a trade for Motlop, or is VM just biding his time until he's delisted in a year or two and in that case, why is he still on our list? Michie or ANB and a pick could get it done?

    Why would Geelong have any interest at all in Viv Michie?  He isn't worth anything.  Adding him to a 'pick' won't get anything done as it doesn't add any value.

    You obviously haven't heard about a little sweetener called "steak" and "knives."

    In this case it's a well done steak with a plastic knife.

    The little sweetener is actually "cr" and "ap".

    I'd trade Garlett for Motlop + Pick swap. Our 3rd for their 4th I suppose.

    Garlett doesn't seem to be weighing heavily in anyones major plans going forward and he has a reasonable amount of worth.

    They'd probably want Kent though.

    I reckon the fact that he has just recently signed a three year extension suggests that Jeffy is weighing heavily in the club's plans going forward.

    I meant Demonlanders. A lot of people lost confidence in him this year and when the forward line is spoken about on the forum, it's usually only Hogan/Watts/Wiedeman mentioned re long term with Kent and Petracca as the other untradeables flanks/pockets. Extension or not, if we want Motlop we have to give something. No Steak knives :/

    You build your forward line around your key forwards. Jeffy is still our #1 small forward. 29 goals from 17 games in a year he'd rather forget is not awful. I'd be backing him to bounce back strongly next year.

    Just a tip for you when it comes to posting about potential trade ideas.

    Step 1- pick up phone

    Step 2- put down phone

    Step 3- walk away.

    I'm not disputing that Jeffy has worth. But Motlop however you put it, is an upgrade on Garlett and he's on the market.

    That's debatable and Jeffy is already on our list. It costs nothing to bring him on.

    You are kidding, Motlop is the biggest front runner in the AFL!!  Bigger even than Bruest and Mayne!

    Would not even consider him for a set of plastic knives and forks, no name brand burgers and recycled toilet paper towels!

    Next!

    This has become the newest meme in the AFL: how bad Motlop is due to some especially poor efforts in the last month. It's confirmation bias

    Take a look at his stats. Admittedly in the midfield, but still. 80 fantasy points per game is nothing to be sneazed at.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
