FoxFooty saying Hawthorn in the box seat if Rory decides to move on. Is there some way to kill off these zombie sides, Hawthorn and Geelong?

    Hawthorn also linked to McGovern.

    Not sure about that.

    Hodge, Lewis and Mitchell all had to be on a fair wicket.

    Yeah they do now but before in their premiership years they seemed to get everyone

    Was under the impression the winner of his signature would need to offer a 5 year contract and had St Kilda in the box seat UNTIL this news about Hawthorn came about.

    Assuming we land Gaff im surprised we would have the cap space to fit Sloane. Plus Sloane has had a horror run with injury.

    We wouldn't go both. Gaff is a reasonable fall back option. But obviously if we had the pick of the two we'd go Sloane. We are at the point in our journey where we are entering the premiership window. You get the best players possible. Sloane is an A grader. Gaff is a B grader. Given a choice its a simple decision for mine.

    Adelaide are too peed off with us for Sloane not to be our way inclined

    If I was a forensic accountant I would be fantasising about auditing Hawthorn. They have been making cap room magically appear for the last decade.

    The problem with free agency is older players are accepting less money to move to a ‘successful’ well resources club.

    That would be solved by lowering the threshold for FAs. Younger players are more likely to move for money and there would be a greater pool of players available each year thereby promoting greater player movement.

    Sloane is a sliding A Grader & Gaff is an improving A Grader. 

    Gaff is younger, healthier and would probably win the Brownlow if it were counted today. 

    To top it off, Gaff is more of what we need  

    I would take Gaff well & truly ahead of Sloane.

    Got to keep upgrading the list every year. 

    If Sloane is available, then we should be on the front foot, if we don’t land him, another club will. 

    Midfielders get injured, they are in the guts and frenzy. 

    Sloane would be great right now as Viney is out for a long time

    Never think static

    I hope we are onto something, with the ranger.

    We have to get this club winning in September.  And save it from itself.  Niceness knows no bounds, and is lovely, outside the theatre of battle.

    It is an imposter, within the forming of an army.

    aah yes. The Northern Stand, I temporarily forgot

    Sloane is massively over rated, but we blew the Wines deal

    the attitudes swyl.

    the attitudes that have led us to vote for directors we do not know nor come into contact with, Via the recommendations sent out to us in club letters.

    ... usually recommended as well from the mcc,,, all good and harmonious there, but at what cost, swyl.  

     

    You are very negative about anything that shines a dark light on the things that you cherish,  without any consideration from yourself ?

    'the fish rots from the head' I believe I have heard you say many times, yet you still will not tolerate the thought, that something you cherish is actually cancerous.  And killing itself, from the inside.

    - - - - - - - - -

     

    "Sloane overrated",  another meaningless comment from you out of spite,,,  about something you are weak at, judging player talent.

     Sloane is tagged week in, week out, for good reason. swyl.  But don't let the facts hit you in the face with a cold wet fish.

    STOP CRAPPING ON ABOUT THE F$&@ing MCC 

    it is so tiresome. 

    The MCG is the 10th best stadium in the world, they are not dumb people who run it. 

    and you call me light weight???

    Sloane is over rated as is Rance...

    THEY are footy dumb, when it comes to footy clubs.

    They're good at the turnstiles, swyl.   Thats all they are. 

     

    They stuffed up,,, knocking down the Smokers Stand,

    And they took OUR players race, away from the Mfc members/supporters children...  they couldn't run a footy club, if they had all the kings horses and all the kings men.

    • 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.
