I'm definitely on the King train too mate if we could convince him, but who would you be happy to trade to get him?

King is special - absolutely a developing star. How did we allow it to happen? What were the circumstances?

    We went for the understandable defensive post to end the puzzle. It seemed like a reasonable idea at the time. As @Fifty-5 has said, I think it we win a flag or go close in May's time, it was worth it.

    Whoever they want outside or a couple of blokes. 

    I'd nearly say outside of Petracca and Gawn just about take your pick. Ben King is going to be a superstar, potentially already is. offer him a huge deal and be brave at the trade table i reckon.

    There aren't a whole heap of players on our list that have much currency and could also be seen as expendable.

    The likes of Brayshaw, dare i say it TMAC and to a much lesser extent ANB are the only one's that could give us some value at the trade table. Would obviously need to throw in next years first rounder as well.

    But if there was even the slightest chance King became available (he did sign a long-term contract last year), all 10 Vic clubs and even the 7 other interstate clubs would be trying to bring him in to their system.

    absolutely the perfect goalsquare player for us and we can play Wright, Weid and LJ all together. Allows jackson to get a weaker matchup good for development and gives max a chop too

    We had Frost and O Mac playing as our 2  key backs.   Fairly logical that we chased May when you think of it.

    A good coach ( does not apply to MFC ) would certainly turn 2M into a good player . Hogan could also be considered , he was doing alright until he was recruited by freo.

    tell me. how are Hogan and Peter Wright going to help with our forward pressure. They're just as slow as McDonald.

    stuart dew is rated pretty highly and prefers others to wright, who has been fit all year and can't get a run in the gc17 side cos he's slow, timid, and doesn't work near hard enough

  • Quote

    not sure if we should focus on a player who hasnt had a game all year at a bottom 4 club.Big in physique but not a big mark .I also see him in the Paul Johnson mould .Better to do what we did with Langdon and get a player who will immediately add something to the team .

  • Quote

    We would probably get Peter Wright pretty cheap from Gold Coast.

    The question is...does he play better as a ruckman or a key forward? We need a key forward who can kick goals and ruck occasionally.

    Can he actually mark the ball over his head? Is he a Paul Johnson clone? Another disappointment?

    Plus I don't want another Mitch Clark disaster. That was incredibly frustrating! All that potential ruined by injury and other issues!

  • Quote

    He's a very good and long kick .... but I'm just not sure we can accumulate enough down the field free kicks to make him effective.

    he's exactly what we need. jackson and weid both arent that number one hawkins, dixon, kennedy type we need a bail out option down the line who can really clunk one and take the big defender to let weid and jacko loose to roam and lead

    wright doesn't have injury concerns; he's just an ineffective tall

    IIRC our FD at the time thought he was not competitive enough, particularly given his size. Can't remember the exact details, however I don't think that assessment has been proven wrong

    Pass

    That's the complete opposite to what Wright is. He plays his best football roaming around.

    No, just no. Do people who suggest we go for him even football?

    That's rubbish Hoges is quicker than 2020 Macca and you know it! 

    Just say it that you don't want to revisit Jesses propensity to shoot himself in the foot OR his nearly but not quite performances in converting.

    Haven't seen him play. The sun have a lot of good talls so doesn't seem to have gotten a look in. Sam Day has come good this year (If Day was available he would be handy) and King is obviously a potential gun

    • 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.
