    But this other player that is leaving is giving you genuine distress.

    This player you can’t remember.

    No matter what happens with Dogga, I’d still be keen to ask the Swans about the availability of Haydn McLean.  Big bodied 197cm Forward/2nd Ruck. Good goalkicker, good mark.  Behind Franklin, McDonald and Reid as a forward. Behind Hickey and Ladhams as a ruck. Would appeal to us and brings physical presence.  

    i really like this, could be a very T-Mac style player, not flashy and plays within his limits and provides a good option.

    Haven't seen a whole lot of him but I do vaguely remember him at Sandy Dragons and he could really clunk a mark!

    before Logan Mcdonald and Amarti, i remember him being a very serviceable player.  if we can get him for bugger all and not pay a lot he would be a great get, and if a young kid passes him well that's what we want too

    What about a nibble at Paddy Dow from Carlton to fatten our midfield depth chart?

    The HUN reporting that Carlton are looking at off loading a former high draft pick for salary space so I can only assume it's him.

    Last year he almost got there as a realised talent but for whatever reason can't get a game this year (that reason being that he's probably not good enough in Voss's eye)

    Finn Callaghan would be a nice addition, has a booming kick. What's his contested marking like? At 192cm he could provide a nice marking option down the wing to help out Max.

    Haven’t really seen him in pack marking situations, but has good hands overhead does pretty well in one v one marking contests. Can play a role forward.

    Bedford I assume. 

    Not a Premiership player, as was quoted in the post.

    I hope we look to top up our list with some veterans who are flag chasing like Goldstein, Cunnington, Boak, Robbie Gray, Breust and/or Gunston. They aren't key forwards but they could be the difference in 2023.

    As much as we need a key forward to replace Ben Brown, he has two more years on his contract and the top key forwards will cost an enormous amount in salary cap space and picks. I think we should be looking at getting another gun small forward either in the draft or trade.

    And he also stated that it was three "good" players. No offence to Bedford, but I hardly think that anyone would classify him as good.

    we want picks.. minimum 2 first rounders. Of course we want a Tall forward, but ideally from Freo we want minimum 2 first round picks this year.

    will we?

    i would've thought we'd want to replace a best 22 player with another or more - dunno if (likely) late first round picks will get the job done

    that said, i could see us getting three first round picks if footscray give up their 2021 first rounder for lobb and flagmantle paying a huge chunk of his 2023 salary

    GIVE: jackson + 2022 second round pick
    GET: footscray 2022, freo 2022 and 2023 first rounders

    from there we'd be in a good position to package one - or two? - of those plus our own 2023 first rounder to get further up in the 2022 draft board

    Difficult to see Tomlinson with us next year. He's too good for VFL.

    Could imagine a team like the Dogs parting with their second rounder for him.

    Our midfield depth is a media myth

    We're too light for rotations (assuming brayshaw never plays in the guts again)

    Our second tier mids in Sparrow and Harmes are among the worst in the comp 

    Rate Jordon but he's a utility sort you can put anywhere and is unlikely to be a starting centebounce midfielder 

    That wouldn't be the same Harmes that set the Deez on the road to glory in the third quarter of last year's Granny would it?

    It's like any player that has had a singular positive impact on grand final is completely untouchable for the rest of their career.. fmd.

    I'm still gobsmacked Steven Armstrong hasn't been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his 2 minute heroic in the 2006 Grand Final.

    Jake riccardi from the giants might be worth a look.

    • 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.
