    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...

    Deals not done: Daniher, Papley, Martin.

    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.

    Could also nominate for national draft

    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

    • 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.
