The Dunkley’s did a deal with Sydney that they would only accept a father son nomination if the Swans agreed to only match interstate clubs. Josh only wanted to go to Sydney if it was to avoid another interstate club, he had a strong desire to stay in Victoria. The Swans not matching had nothing to do with not rating Josh. 

Thanks DS. Didn’t know that intel.

    I would like us to grab Caleb Poulter a potential class act apparently  Happy to take Jack Carroll, Errol Gulden and Sam Berry though.

    Poulter would also be a good addition. Classy skilled left footer with good size and tackling ability. He’s definitely in the frame.

    After giving this careful consideration, I think we'll end up with:

    1.  Charlie Winner

    2.  Juan Hundred-Gamer

    3.  Andy Depth

    Interesting draft year for me, knowing less about the players than in any other year I can remember.
    I can sit back and be happy with whoever we get.

    On the piece of paper, in order of potential priority and likely availability  

    Macrae ?

    Carroll ?

    Cook ?

    Laurie

    Stone

    * bid Gulden

    * bid Coleman 

    Poulter

    Bowey 

    Winder

    Ford

    Angwin

    (* both Gulden and Coleman are excellent youngsters but imv bids are definitely going to be matched... but we may as well force swans and lions to use points)

    As the picks currently stand pre-draft.

    18. Carroll

    19. Holmes

    28. Bowey (if we keep it)

    or

    50. Callow 

    Think we'll add a tall to compliment our team if we go for two medium sized runners. Either that or another small forward but I don't think there will be much in the way of quality at the back end of the draft.

    I believe Green is pushing the credentials of Holmes very hard at the Dees.  I think he was his school footy coach.  Can anyone confirm this?

    I’ve heard of the Green House link but never Green Holmes

    Green was at St Kevin's and Holmes played school footy at Melbourne Grammar.

    No link at all.

    Don't think so Dazzle, almost certain Green was at MGS.

    Reckon we’ll swap 18 & 19 for North (originally our) pick 11.

    And take Archie

    Considering Essendon are expected to take him, and the fact that they have three (?) picks before 11, I can't see that happening. I get the feeling we may stay with the two picks rather than upgrade.

    Yes you are correct. 

    My apologies to @Demons11

    And we'll say that we took Charlie Winner because he was clearly "the best available" with our first pick; that Hundred-Gamer "comes from a great family"; and we "couldn't believe our luck" that Depth was still available at our third pick. I accept that I may have those statements in the wrong order, though.

    So are we taking 3 or 4 players - I thought with the players being shifted to the rookie list we could now take 4?

    We’ve got room for 5 if we really wanted to, but every pick after 3 means we’re using a main list spot rather than a rookie spot. In effect we’d be spending 80k salary cap we don’t want to spend. 
     

    The draft could fall a particular way that makes 4 picks too good to pass up. But 3 seems far more likely.

    • 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.
