Unsure if his name has been mentioned but a pretty classy midfielder when up and running. Yes, durability concerns but would back burgess to get him going. Feel like we are at least one quality mid short in there for when Trac rests forward, for example. Thoughts? Queries? Concerns?

    No thanks, but i reckon if  he goes then that pick they get for him goes to us for Angus Brayshaw. just a suggestion.

    We have an oversupply of inside mids already,  no thanks. 

     

    He seems like a pretty well rounded midfielder rather than just see ball get ball on the inside. Gets just as many uncontested possessions as contested. Think he'd be handy if fit

    I think Geelong are in the box seat.

    The crouch boys are hack kicks and inside mids; no pace

    He will fit in perfectly then

    Exactly. Another inside mid. No way.  And he will cost $$$$$. We have 6 inside midfielders already !!!

    We're no chance.

    Sounds like Geelong is in the box seat, but could easily stay or go to Port.  I don't think we're in the calculations at all.

    Don't forget we were not linked to May until late in the piece as well, doesn't really mean much at this point. Money talks and if we offered enough he'd take it

    That's the problem - I don't think we have the coin to pursue him.

    I also think, if we were to make a splash, we would do so for another winger, or even another key forward to complement the Weid/Jackson combo.  I don't see a Brad Crouch as a desperate need for us.

    That's a fair statement. From my perspective his skillset is not surplus to our needs, I've seen him play pretty well on the outside with his run and skills, I don't think ability to win your own ball and being a pure inside mid are mutually exclusive

    Seems to spend a lot of time injured.

    Ideal for EFC...replacement in rehab for Joe.

    Hasn't really kicked on his early career form. He used to be quite explosive around stoppages I thought, he's lost that with injury and his disposal is ho-hum. I'd pass here.

    not sure it's the same case when it's a free agency like crouch or viney - generally those conversations start up to 18 months out

    may was pre-agency, so it made sense that he moved when he did

    i wouldn't want either crouch while we have all of oliver, petracca, viney, brayshaw, harmes, and sparrow

    Far better to focus on a couple of Langdon-quality players at $500K each than paying up to $1M for Crouch.

    That's a fair contention and one that seems to be widely shared. I think I'm in the minority that believes Crouch doesn't offer an identical skillset to those players you've mentioned. He's pretty quick and a good ball user, can't have enough quality mids to rotate through in my opinion

    i don't see either crouch as skilled or fast

    Yes, I dont think Geelong will touch him now, meaning they will go hard for Viney

    Geelong won’t care. He wasn’t charged.

    • 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.
