Can't wait to hear Mark 'Shifter' Sheehan refer to every player selected as "elite".

    I'm looking forward to reading comments about how fantastic our draftees are based on 3-minute highlight packages.

    Now that WB has entered the race for pick 4 Essendon may take their offer instead.

    Can't see the details. What are they offering? Link?

    The Western Bulldogs have emerged as a shock contender to snatch Essendon’s No.4 draft pick in a plot twist to the Josh Dunkley trade saga.

    The Dogs, armed with selections 11, 21, 39 as well as two first-round selections in the 2023 draft, have made a late pitch to poach the prized selection.

    They received picks 21 and Brisbane Lions’ future first-round pick as part of the Dunkley deal that stretched the trade deadline due to tense negotiations.

    The Herald Sun can reveal that the Dogs are one of four clubs locked in 11th-hour talks with the Bombers over the No.4 pick.

    Melbourne also has strong interest and, like the Dogs, has significant draft capital in 2023 to help broker a deal.

    They probably have us beat if they're offering both future firsts along with pick 11.

    Think Essendon hold onto pick 4 regardless.

    Dees to bid on Davey @ 13 if Dons don't trade with us (opinion but hopefully fact), wiping out pick 22

    It was reported on Sunday night Melbourne had offered three first-round picks - pick 13 this year, plus future picks tied to the Demons and Fremantle - for picks 4 and 22.

    Now the Herald Sun has reported the Western Bulldogs, who own picks 11, 21 and 39 plus two future first-round picks (their own and Brisbane’s) are also making a bid for the Bombers’ prized selection.

    And Brad Johnson or Mick Ablett claim all are great value where taken and every second club got a steal.

    I cannot believe that pick 4 and 22 are worth 3 first round picks to pick 2 untried players with potential?

    So we are trading 3 untried players with potential for 2 untried players with potential.

    Our 3 first round picks are 13 this year and next year is totally dependent on where Melbourne and Fremantle finish. Say Freo are 6th and Melbourne are 4th then we are trading 2022 13 and 2023 13 & 15 for 2022 4 & 22. I suppose it all depends on how you rate 4, 13 & 22 this year. Normally 4 would be significantly higher than 13 with the gap between 13 & 22 much smaller. I assume Melbourne is after a specific player that will definitely go Top 5, and still think they'll get someone decent at 22.

    For those that can read it it's an article written around these figures. Top ten statistically is far more valuable than the next tier.

    Lies, damned lies & statistics. Why group 1-10 & 11-20? Why not 1-5, 6-10,11-15, 16-20? Having said that, the average games differential is surprisingly close. There are so many other variables but I accept elite talent does make a difference. I would argue everything other than say average games & All Australian Selections is fairly meaningless.

    We'll find out soon but I don't see the Bulldogs future firsts being any better than Melbourne's. Will Brisbane & Western Bulldogs finish lower than Melbourne & Fremantle in 2023?

    I think the bombers would be foolish to trade pick 4.
    There is a swag of obviously highly talented players in this draft and they will all go early.

    If there's a swag by definition they all won't go early. If there's only 5 highly talented players and a big gap after that, I agree you don't trade 4 but if you think there's not a huge gap between 4 & 13 then why not? When do the highly-talented players run out? 5, 10, 15 or even 20?

    Madness! I'm not saying Cal Twomey is infallible but he doesn't rate Davey Top 30. If Melbourne bid for Davey we'd likely get stuck with a player we don't need or want as Essendon wouldn't match the bid.

    Poor Cameron McKenzie, gets presented with his jumper by David Hale. Surely Hawthorn could have got someone else. I mean Cadman got his jumper from Toby & the Essendon kid got his from Matty Lloyd

    Although Hale is a triple premiership player, compared to Lloyd’s one; but admittedly Lloyd has a higher profile.

    • 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.
