    so, rpfc at one time turned out at roxburgh park fc?

    Unsure why people are favouring Football Club for the FC component of the initials when there's a more compelling alternative.

    Any chance we’re into Jake Riccardi? According to Purple ‘Victorian clubs very interested with his out-of-contract status.’

    23 years old and 26 goals from 15 matches this year.

    Mark Williams coached him at Werribee. 

    I think we've certainly put the feelers out to his management knowing Brown and McDonald will be on their last legs/retire.

    Purple is a [censored] genius. No [censored] Victorian clubs would be interested in Riccardi, it would be negligent to not be.

    I’ll throw a trade out there 

    Brody Grundy for Mitch Georgiades 

    or Todd Marshall ( maybe we need to add a pick for Marshall) ??

    I doubt they'll let Marshall go but who knows. Is he contracted? A Victorian?

    Dusty rumours to Suns to join Hardwick. The bloke has played 287 games - why would you ruin a stellar chance to be a 300 game 1 club player. Does my head in.

    well a massive cheque fr a 3- 4 year contract would help , with huge money from the afl as an ambassador as well as  life on the gold coast. i can see what that sounds like a good idea. he’ll always be a legend at the tiges whether he plays 300 or not

    Dusty was able to focus on footy and play so well because of Cotchin and the broader Tigers culture. If he goes to the Gold Coast, he won't last a season before going way, way astray. One of the best players I have seen - genuine match winner and the best field kick bar none. But his time has come. 

    Our needs are for a power forward and some speed. Riccardi would be nice, not sure where we get speed from.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
