    Thank goodness.  Hopefully that means we are closer to locking up the Frostmeister.  No more defenders until 2020 trade period pls.

    Reckon? From that article: "Melbourne has seriously lowballed the out-of-contract key defender, who looks certain to reject that contract offer and join a third AFL club."

    The Age also ran an article on the Frost situation which had a quote from his manager, who said we hadn't yet tabled an offer to him but preliminary talks had been positive.  

    I don't know who to believe really.

    Lots of mixed messages ...not unusual at trade time GM..

    ...."When contacted by The Age, Frost's manager Anthony McConville said he was yet to receive a formal contract offer from Melbourne, but he was confident the two parties were having positive discussions."

    Keith of to the Doggies.  Things starting to move a little at Adelaide.  Will obviously ratchet up across the board from next Monday...

    ADELAIDE defender Alex Keath has requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs.

    The 27-year-old informed the Crows and other interested parties – including St Kilda – of his decision early on Thursday afternoon.

    Doggies improving by adding a CHB and a FF.

    Huge loss for us.

    Who do we have to play as a key defender now?

    This was always going to be just banter......Why would he come to the Dees for a start? I mean with Lever, May, Oscar & Frosty he was never going to get in.

    Hard to believe after 18 games for the cows this season that they would let him go?

    That's bizzare.....

    He's about to turn 28 and has bobbed around on cricket and footy lists for years without landing a big pay day. This was his one chance to get the kind of contract that makes over a decade of pro sport worth the effort (compared to his peers). He's taking that chance and the Crows probably can't do much about it.

    Adelaide are going to be paying Jenkins and Betts not to play for them next year as well as taking as many top 30 draft picks as they can get. It's as an aggressive a rebuild from a non hopeless team as I can remember and I think it's very wise.

    Short term improving, long term has me wondering if Keath and Bruce are actually better than Lewis Young and Schache who might be relegated to the VFL. Or if 3 talls at either end is the desired set up, down back maybe, up forward I don't like the Naughton, Bruce, Schache combination.

    Their coach does very well when given 22 adequate players who fill positional needs and play together. Start giving him options or deficiencies and the man goes a little haywire.

    That is poor.  Bulldogs force him to cancel a holiday to have surgery that Adelaide didn't think he needed then don't get the deal done.

    Does this mean he could walk into the pre-season draft?

     

    Could we pick him up for nothing if of course, Gold Coast have no interest?

    Apparently Crows have a 2yr low-ball contract available.  So I guess he could walk

    Its a terrible situation for Keath:  Crows low-ball his contract but demand high draft picks.  Bulldogs offer him big 3+1 contract but only want to offer ho hum draft picks.  Keath the meat in the sandwich.

    We could pick him up but I'd say we have moved on.

    Apparently Dogs identified an injury that required surgery that Crows knew about (but their docs said surgery not required).

    Injury flared up and he's gone in for surgery and will miss first part of the year.

    Dogs didn't want to pay original trade price, and deal has fallen over.

    Could be quite a cheap pick up for someone.

    Apparently Saints medical staff identified same issue as Dogs and came up with the same outcome

    I'd definitely pick him up as a cheap option.

    • 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.
