Tomlinson, Langdon, Elliot plusĀ Anderson or Young in the draft is not a bad October trade/draft period.

Would've preferred oneĀ match winning mid with classĀ such as Hill,Ā Jack Martin or Coniglio.

Really hope GCS don't get 1 & 2 and we pick Anderson.

    Would pretty much make the off season. We need goal scoring power. We need quality smalls. We need marking options. Heā€™s all of the above.

    We should be loading up ok free agents, as they cost us nothing in terms of draft picks and weā€™ve traded away all our first rounders for years on end now.

    To add Elliott and Tomlinson without giving up any picks would be huge for the club. Add in Langdon for a second round pick and thatā€™s a very successful off season to balance out list and add mature talent.

    Langdon, Elliot, Tomlinson, pick 3/11&13Ā  just need to find one or two good on field leaders to boost that area and it's a very productive off season.

    If the Dees get Pick 2. Iā€™m confident it will be traded to GC for Ben King. Therefore, GC get Rowell and Anderson.

    If we get Pick 3. Ben King is still on the cards but will play out quite differently. I have two scenarios if I was Recruitment Manager;

    Pick 3 to GWS for Pick 12, 14 & a player (eg. Zac Langdon).

    We then on trade;

    Pick 12 & 14 to GC for Ben King

    or ideally

    Pick 14,Ā 2020 First Round Pick & player (eg. ANB, J Wagner QLDer,Ā etc...) Add Baker as he is a QLDer also.Ā 

    We use Pick 12 to select Cody Weightman

    Add Pick 20/21 - Ed Langdon &Ā Free Agents - Tomlinson & Elliot.

    IN - Ben King, Ed & Zac Langdon, Elliot,Ā Tomlinson, Cody Weightman...

    So potentially Tomlinson, Langdon & Elliot coming in, thatā€™s a bit of salary cap space...

    who makes way?

    Lewis - yes

    Frost - maybe

    Others - ??

    Lewis already retired, let's call that $400k

    Garlett, probablyĀ another $400k

    Jones 1 year deal with a haircut (somewhat ironic),Ā  probably another 200k

    I'm guessing we already had some wiggle room, we don't have any million dollar players.Ā

    No, but weā€™ve got players who think theyā€™re worth a million.

    Is Elliott really that likely? Still be favoured to stay atĀ Pies imo.Ā 

    But he is exactly what we need

    The Pies can't afford everyone with De Goey, Grundy and Pendlebury all out of contract. That's what gives us a chance.

    And Moore. Itā€™s a nightmare for them. Imagine the dollars being thrown at JDG and Grundy next year. And if Moore somehow had an injury free year next year theyā€™ll be pleading for them to take less.Ā 

    I think Elliot will likely stay but he might get a few more dollars in the contract.Ā

    I was talking to a mate today. They really lack grunt and an accumulator. Rowell not that big but I assume could be a bit like Prestia only slightly taller perhaps. I reckon theyā€™ll go Rowell if they had to take one. Also heā€™s more of a sure thing early on.Ā

    I think when we picked up Lever we had room for another big recruit. We then lost Hogan and got May. So there will be money. As you said Lewis Garlett and Jones will free up around a million. I also donā€™t think any of Langdon Tomlinson or Elliott would be demanding massive money.Ā 

    From the sounds of it we have Tomlinson and Langdon all butĀ signed up. Elliott probably likely to stay at Collingwood.Ā

    Although I donā€™t think itā€™s a certainty, I think Rowell would suit GC more. HardĀ inside mid who will probably averageĀ 20-25Ā possessions a game in his first season, touted as a future Captain too, leadership qualities that GC need. At 178cm heā€™s 10cm shorter then Anderson but that shouldnā€™t be a factor for GC.

    No way the GC are going to let King Go.. they will dig in, they cant let a player go, it will be counter productive to there push for priority. The AFL will make sure that they dont trade King, they get picks 1 & 2 and that they will hope like hell the environment gets better so King wants to stay.

    See i think the opposite. if they think it's likely King will go as soon as he can they may want to maximize value now, and pick 3 is certainly a good return. would be a win-win for both clubs.

    Good points and i agree that it would be a good win for us Patches. Time will tell i suppose, hard to make a call either way right now.

    Ā 

    No chance. GC arenā€™t looking for a win-win. Theyā€™re looking to make a statement, that players wonā€™t be allowed to just leave each year, even if it means cutting off their nose to spite their face.

    Similar to Port with nick stevens.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourneā€™s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle.Ā As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nationā€™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.Ā

    • 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.
