Unless you’re the Suns and you’re given a priority pick to keep mates together...

I did think of that, although no one says Rowell is asking for that.

    Have we convinced Martin yet? I’m not a huge fan but I can see him being a staple if he comes on board.

    Martin

    Bennell

    Tomlinson

    Langdon

    All these guys are quite simply a massive injection of the outside speed and class that we have craved for so long! 
    Why split any picks if you bag 4 players like this? Tell the other clubs to stick it and get some very good kids.

    I hope we’re backing ourselves to convince Martin to join us.

    I am sure we have tried and Bennell may help if he is mates with Martin.

    However, all the signs currently point to Martin joining Visy mob.

    With a year to run on his contract, James Harmes signing of a 5 year contract is evidence we are freeing up some room in our cap to make a big play this year. 

    I believe the Dees will take Martin in the PSD and trump Carlscum with Bennel also coming as a DFA.

    I hope not. It's big $$$'s for someone that has never really done anything.

    I believe Martin can be a very good player. He will go to another level which ever club he lands at. He is only 24 so has plenty to give.
     

    I would expect he plays half forward with stints in the midfield. Capable of easily being a 40+ goal kicker.

    Just a gut feel or something you’ve been informed? Players normally end up where they want to go, at $1.5mil for two years, he’s going to end up at Carlton. Anyone who hopes differently is going to be disappointed.

    Where did the $1.5M come from?

    Has it actually been reported?

    It would stretch Carlton just as much as us you’d think. 
    I think it’s a load horseshit.

    Hope this true. I also believe that he will go to a new level in a different environment.  Would mean our trade period has addressed most of our run/skill levels concerns.

    I wonder if North are regretting their pick trade now that we could land both Bennell and  Martin?

    I gotta say for the rumoured coin he’s asking for I would be passing on him. I don’t know if Melbourne is playing games with Carlton, almost trying to rule themselves out publicly so Martin doesn’t nominate a stupid amount of money and then we swoop. 

    I’d say I’m 50/50 on him, if we get him then great. I won’t lose any sleep if we pass on him though.

    I believe is my gut feel! No Sauces! ? 

    The Dees have a 5 year plan to win a Premiership! I think we are heading into year 4 or 5. They will pull the strings they need to achieve this success!

    We sacrificed Pick 6 and $$$ to land May. We paid overs to get Lever, trading away 2 first round draft picks! We will do the same with Martin $$$, however get him for free... The Dees will and should be ruthless in there approach. The time is now!
     

    Langdon, Tomlinson, Martin & Bennel along with Picks 3 & 8 is a significant step in the right direction.

    What would that have to do with the pick trade?

    That pick wouldn't be used on either of them.

    Meaning that we’ll be an obviously better side and win more games with those two players added (should Harley ever be fit again), delivering Norf a worse pick than they were expecting

    Oh yes I forgot about that. Hope you are right. Would love to have given North pick 18.

    I'm not sold. Potential is such an ugly word. At 24 he should be established, and when he puts a big price on his head and noms a club, I say let him go there. Daisy MKII.

    He hasn't had a single game in his now 6-year career where he's been BOG or at least turned a game on its head (e.g. Daniel Rioli).

    Send Daniel Rioli to the Suns and see how many games he wins off his own boot. Martin is a gun and comparing him to Rioli is an insult.

    Dunno about an insult but you're right, players like this are icing on the top, they don't thrive in bad teams (cue 'why is he coming to Melbourne then' comment).

    Fact is good players are better in best teams because the better quality players in the team are opposed to the best players , so they will get a lesser quality player to oppose them in the opponents team

    Because he's not coming, it's quite simple really. 

    People need to actually start accepting that he's never coming to us. He's hellbent on Carlton and that's it.

    • 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.
