Would love for us or another club to make a decent bid for the next Silvagni son this year. Force their hand so as to not get him cheaply

If the next Silvagni son is on a par with the current one heโ€™d be worth roughly pick 88 in the rookie draft. Absolute spud Jack Silvagni.

The definition of being on a list because of who his father was. Only in this instance, if I remember rightly, his father recruited him as well.

It was meant to be traded.

It's kind of the Clayton's second round pick. The priority given to the recipient clubs did not upset the other clubs with their various draft picks including for that matter the MFC.

Don't think that's right Jim. ย Gold Coast have selected a couple of state league players already I think.

As Saber and Cards said above, the deal with Geelong makes no sense at all, and is just plain stupid.

It makes sense to Geelong if they had to use a higher pick than 43 to draft Nathan Kreuger, a 19yo, tall swingman playing in the SANFL.ย  Highly likely Crows or Port had their sights on him with a higher pick.ย ย 

To me this is against the spirit of the concessions:ย  for GCS and Carlton to top up with experienced players before other clubs can draft them.ย  GCS is doing just that.ย  Carlton is cashing in the players for picks.ย  The beneficiary in this case is Geelong who get a player on the cheap before anyone else gets a chance.

Wouldn't an intelligent list manager have started a bidding war for the concession pick, considering many clubs would've had their sights set on hidden gems? Create paranoia and play clubs against clubs, wait until someone blinks and offers overs.

Oh, nope. We'll just settle for some shitty pick in the 50s on day 1 from the first club that asks. Nevermind all that.ย ?

Every club had the chance to do the deal, Cats probably were front and center.

Carltonโ€™s list build has been woeful.ย 

Disagree it's built around a spine and will take longer than ours. The main pieces are there and from 2020 they will be where we were last year

Kreuger is likely to be able to play too.ย  Geelong's recent record with this type is excellent - Tim Kelly and Stewart.

If Carlton use the pick on say Setterfield then it looks closer to the AFL intent.

With Setterfield nominating Carlton as his club of choice, what do people think about them potentially giving up Pick 1 for Shiel and Setterfield.ย  Too much?ย  I think that's a fair deal - I know Pick 1 is a big deal, but Setterfield was the fifth pick just a few years back and Shiel is still a very, very good player who will slot in very well alongside Cripps.

If we had Pick 1 would you do that deal, or try and pull something else off and hope it's enough so you could still take Pick 1 to the draft?

I think itโ€™s probably a bit much, maybe another sweetener added to that and itโ€™s a good deal.ย 

I just canโ€™t see Carlton moving pick 1 unless itโ€™s for an insane deal.ย 

I suspect they will try next years firstย

They would be crazy to do that deal.ย 

Carlton need to build players to be hitting their prime in 4 years. Not bring in GWS reject over & over.ย

Only one reason he is on a list.

I went cold on Shiel due to his disposal and goal kicking this year.

He's a peptide now.

Gross. Lost all respect for him.

[censored] hate those flogs. Only thing worse would've been Hawthorn I guess.

Hahahaha my sentiments exactly mate! Gold.

Forgot about that! Enjoy fitting that private jet into your salary cap for no return, Blooooooos! ?

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.ย
