    Would you take a second rounder for Tmac?

    You'd just about trade the whole team for a 2nd rounder this year GCDee (Max & Clarry aside)

    First rounder at the minimum.  Big fellas like him don't grow on trees, and GC wouldn't let him go cheaply.

    TMac would probably get us a 2nd rounder, definitely not a first.

    I wouldn't think Wright would be worth any more.

    Wright spent more than half the year in the 2s for whatever reason. Either he's rubbish, so why would we bother, or he's worth a player that has spent most of his time in the ressies who can't crack a game at the worst club in the AFL. GC cant have it both ways, likewise with how they're positioning themselves on Jack Martin. Dropped him numerous times this and last year, yet asking the world for him.

    More than half the year?  He played 17 games in the seniors.  You need to check your math skills.

    A bit of hyperbole never hurt anyone. Regardless, I don't think a club has much of a leg to stand on when the player has been constantly injured and dropped

    GWS would trade a similar player to Wright for a third or second rounder. Just look at Scully and Patton.

    In reality, based on his current form and his place in the GC Suns pecking order, Peter Wright would be worth a 3rd rounder.

    A 2nd rounder would be fair.

    GC would ask for a 1st rounder.

    Asked for more info, was told they are still trying, but it comes down to a waiting game, as so many trades are being held up and the likelihood of this one is dependent on others moving first.

    also didn’t rule out speaking to other taller forwards, but unsure if they are really serious about getting one unless it is the one they want (possibly not interested in a short term solution). 

    Best part of trade week are these inside info posts, love em, cheers for the info! In your opinion, do you think it would be difficult to appease the other party in a trade for this player with our current assets? Or am I pushing my luck with this question haha

    What is this thread all about? We need more inside mids, not a key forward. Can’t have enough of those.

    So you’re confident we have the kind of forward line required to win a premiership?

    I would only be guessing, but I would dare say they would want some draft picks to help them out, so we could do that, but only my opinion.

    I hope we are still trying, haven’t heard or asked anything further (sorry, but haven’t had the chance), but we do need someone to help up forward.

    Hoping and expecting our forward line to get back to 2018 form, fingers crossed, if we can get a few on the park and work on our delivery.

    I don’t care who we had forward this year, nobody would score with our movement and delivery from this season.

    I still think TMac will/can kick 50 goals next season, as a clean bill of health and some confidence will get him back to the form he had, and as a starting point up forward, that isn’t bad.

    A fit melksham can kick over 30, as can Trac (if he works on his kicking) and Fritsch.

    I hope I am not being too biased and wishful, but we can’t go from being such a high scoring side in 2018, with the same forward line minus hogan, to being so woeful without the possibility of working on it and getting the form back.

    If everyone gets back to their 2018 form, we are still 2 goals a game down (Hogan)

    We had a lot of games decided by less than 2 goals

    Exactly BW that's why we need Bruce for pick 26 if possible. Readymade 2 goal  a game big forward.

    In 2018 we had Hogan, Weidemann, TMac and Garlett as our key forwards.

    Today we have Weidemann and TMac.....what is missing?

    Is that a trick question?

    Do you know/ Can you tell us if its us trying to convince the player to move or us trying to convince the club to let them go??? or Both??

    Could have gotten Patton for a future 4th rounder. Honestly how the feck does Hawthorn do that?! Daylight robbery every single year.

    • 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.
