So apparently we knocked back the offer of pick 6 and GWS 2020 1st rounder.

according to whom? we don't leak, so unless mahoney explicitly stated it it's mere conjecture from people looking to fill content and airtime

    Would you do pick 26 (North) & future 1st (GWS), for 3?

    My bad, pick 6 was obviously meant to be coming our way too, in this scenario

    According to Sam Mclure.... I know he isn't the most reliable.

    I assume the Giants may have mentioned it, who knows.

    I think we'd want more than that, if they finish well, that pick could be early 20's

    Problem is GWS's next pick after 6 is 40

    I'd say we are after a player, even with such a small amount of time to go.

    Possibly Finlayson

    Looks like Bonar will be getting traded today. What if they throw that pick in as well? Not sure what else GWS have to offer, in terms of picks.

    Apparently now paper work can be lodged before 3pm (due to tv coverage).

    Then why would we use 6 against them, which is what he suggested?

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see anywhere that he suggested doing that?

    Yep, if North give one of their second rounders 26 or 27 for Bonar, then it could be:

    Pick 3 for 6, Pick 27 2019, GWS future first round pick

    Id take 6 and Tarranto

    get it done!!  haha

    That would be a robbery. GWS wouldnt even consider it. They need the pick they get back for Bonar to use points to land Green. I’m of the mind that GWS 1st round next year will be worth diddly-squat in next years draft. We should be looking at wrenching out pick 6 and a player for 3

    I think the Bombers have picks 30 and 33 from this year too. I think they are the favourites atm

    Oh I totally agree, thing is we can play hard ball, we're not here to do GWS any favours.

    If we want Green we'll bid for him. If GWS want that out of the equation, pay up!

    looking through GWS's list:  maybe Perryman?  Small backman with excellent kicking. only 21 and injured last year

    id do 6, 2020 1st rounded and Perryman for 3

    I agree.

    They already have a midfield that consists of Taranto, Ward, Coniglio, Kelly,  Hopper, Whitfield, Williams & Toby Greene.

    They've also got Caldwell, Hateley & O'Halloran also tryin to get into the side and they would also be adding pick 3 plus Green this year.

    Caldwell is the one I want.

    6 & Caldwell for 3. Take it or leave it.

    If we have knocked back that offer from the Giants, then I think that's a sensible move from the club.  It's not a great offer really and we have time on our side - we either get a better deal or take two ripping picks to the draft.  That's a win/win in my book.

    Giving 6, 27 and next years which will be between 14-18 all for moving 3 spots up in the draft. Turn it up!!

    No too risky.  And we don't need another insideish mid.  Unkown quantity at senior level also.  Pass.

    If we are chasing a player from them it needs to happen in the next few hours.

    Not sure what else we are chasing from them. Even their second rd 2020 is worth next to bugger all.

    Of course, but we may not be.  We may have already seen what they have to offer and decided it's better for us to just take those first two picks to the draft.

    If they get 3 off us, they get 2 top 5 picks

    If we're looking at a player, I'd say it'll come from the list of those younger guys coming out of contract at the end of next year, with Whitfield, Williams and Cameron taking big $ next year they might might have to offload someone like - Caldwell, Hately, O'Halloran, Perryman, Zac Langdon or Cumming, as they won't be able to keep them anyway. From that list the last 3 are all on more than rookie contracts so they'd be the most likely to move now to free up some cap, moving any of this years draftees won't help at all this year because there already on minimum payments. It's why they are trying to move on Bonar, he's contracted beyond his rookie contract but stuck behind a few.

    • 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.
