    I like it, we need the run but equally we need the experience and on field leadership. they can have their future second rounder back for him.

    or pick 8 for Smith and 11

    So now Melbourne have picks 3 and 8 in this year's draft after pick swap with North. Do the Demons have an ace up their sleeve for a player trade we haven't heard about?

    Ah yes. The basket case is pulling aces again. Thanks potato.

    So assuming we take Hayden Young and cody Weightman in the draft, our best 22 for Round 1 could look something like this:

    B:       Jetta               May                  Lever

    HB:    Young             Petty                Hibberd

    C :      Langdon         Viney               Salem

    HF:     Petracca        McDonald       Melksham

    F:       Fritsch             Weideman      Weightman

    R:      Gawn               Oliver               Brayshaw

    Int:    Tomlinson       Harmes          Hannan        VandenBerg

    Emg:  Preuss            O McDonald       Neal-Bullen       Hunt

    How the hell do we land him? Is he an FA or do we need to pull a pick out of our [censored]?

    Would love him for the record. @Patches O’houlihan is spot on. Not only does he still have something to give a team like us, his experience and leadership would be invaluable for our team that so desperately lacks it.

    Maybe 8 for Smith and 11?  That also takes the risk of McGuinnes being bid on early for the Hawks

    And Frosty could be the steak knives!  Joking...

    Carlton miss out on Oakley and Martin. Only bring in Betts.

    Very surprised the Giants couldn't get a deal done for pick 3. I find it hard to see them satisfying us with the picks they have, so not sure what the point of trading up to 6 was about.

    Disappointed we didn't pick up a key forward, but I'd be interested to see what list spots we will have available post the draft, perhaps there's a delisted free agent or rookie we are looking at.

    So much for Dorodo's big man talk that Essendon would 'hit the trade period hard'.  He likes to win the battles but ends up losing the war.  They gained Tom Cutler and Andrew Phillips and their first draft pick is #31. 

    Carlton have also come away empty handed (well they have favourite son Eddie back).

    Big trade fail for both clubs.

    Hard to see either team improving much next year. :blink:

    just pointing out we didn’t use it and we have two in top 8.

    Agree that we've done well, happy we held our nerve and didn't swap #3 with GWS.

    Sun's could easily just delist Martin and Carlton take him as a delisted free agent.

  • Quote

    So we head to the draft with picks 3, 8 and 97.

    Think we'll keep 3 unless GWS come to us with an offer we can't refuse on draft night. With 3 I think Young has more upside, could play wing/hbf next year.

    Using 8 on Weightman seems a big reach when most phantoms have him in the 15 - 30 range and one of Ash, Stephens, Kemp or Flanders will likely still be available.

    Why would that do that when the were at an impass at the trade table? 

    Even if they (and us) have no intention in taking him in the PSD they should make them squirm a bit

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
