    A friend bumped into Karl's father during the St Kilda & Port game last weekend. He gave a sneaky hint that Saints are the destination of choice and I believe he supported the Saints growing up.

    Would be a very good get. Anyone that doesn't rate him doesn't watch Port (completely understandable).

    He's a damn good player - finished 4th in Port's B&F last year, and top 10 in 2020 as well.

    This was from Ports game review thread last night. Obviously a small sample size, but I always find what opposition supporters say about their own players to be reasonably insightful.

    (in a non trade-week sense when everyone is worth 2 first rounders)  

    Amon - couple of average moments but his kicking absolutely cut the dogs to shreds last night

    Thought Amon broke the game open with some beautiful ball movement

    Amon has his laser boot back.

    Amon very good with some real pin point passes that cut the Dogs up

    My biggest and only negative apart from goal kicking.
    Does Amon look and playing disinterested?

    Really good player, I think there is every chance he goes to the Saints, but glad we're in the conversation. 

    If you can slot him in on the wing opposite Langdon and push Brayshaw back into the midfield rotation i think that greatly improves the team

    Depends if he’s interested in winning a flag or not.

    Only really seen him play a bit,  not paid much attention to the kind of player he is, if he isn’t guaranteed a starting 22 spot, would he want to come to the club?

    If we got him, who would he replace in the best 22?

     

    Not sure about 22 but would replace Baker on the list. Similar situation to Dunstan, securing depth.

    Actually I've under-rated him, would probably push out Jordon or take Brayshaws spot if he leaves. Didn't realise he was only 26 still a few good years left you'd think.

    If we do land him , some dominoes in the 22 reqd as he is too talented as ‘depth’.

    IMV he either takes Gus’s role on the wing and Gus either moves down to HB or the midfield rotation. Puts the heat on JJ, Harmes and Sparrow.

    Option 2, he moves to HF to mix it with Spargs, Kozzy and ANB. For me it’s a direct upgrade on ANB’s current role. ANB can then moved into the midfield rotation at the expense of players above or stay in the forward rotation as a pressure forward.

    Ultimately gives us lots of options to reshuffle and improve the 22. Biggest and obvious issue is salary cap space. Just cannot see it getting done with the current cap . Possibly a move to to keep ahead on the LJ front and/or tactics to keep Brayshaw’s mgt honest.

    Amon has too run a lot more both ways to impress me as a genuine winger  those heat maps show him around the same area,  that is my point  

    Not hugely damaging in his present role

    Have you seen Langdon’s heat maps? That’s where wingers get the ball. Teams aren’t going to let wing men just rack it up in the forward half 

  • Quote

    Going to be a lot easier to convince Gus and Jackson to stay for unders than it is matching market rate on a guy who’s likely to move.

    If Jacko goes home or Gus wants a different role and a big pay day then that’s another question. Amon would be a good back up.

    Unless his primary motive is to win a flag , and the opportunities that being a premiership player may bring him.

    Would think that we could fashion a Salem/ Daniel Rich  role from half back or wing or even centre. With our superior development and coaching. 
    Or would he be more damaging as a half forward?

    • 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.
