Could we tempt Carlton with our 2 first rounders (really hope Freo tank from here) and a second to trade for McKay? They have holes in their list and those picks could help them address. And they could use McKays salary to pay De Koning

Yu could probably tempt them even though he is on long term contract.

Not sure he would be worth it on form though...has some pretty large flaws atm.

Definitely not playing anything close to value for the 800K figure he is reportedly getting.

Major headache for Carlton. They have been an interesting watch.

Is this the De Koning that Sydney are reportedly throwing huge money at for 8 years?

They all have flaws.

We're in dire need of a FPF and there aren't many out there. 

Ben King perhaps. But he has his flaws too.

This is the thing, someone is likely going to overpay for De Koning due to the lack of options out there. Like the last ice cream in a milk bar on a 40 degree day. 

Tom is clearly going to Sydney - really surprised if that doesnt happen now. It would take a momentous shift and pay-packet to divert his future. We don't have a lot of salary cap either so cannot see us doing much on the trade (forward) front this year.

Come on @layzie. If it was the last ice cream in the milk bar, you'd buy it for double its face value, grab a tram down Royal Parade, walk into Prince Park and tell 'em it's the last ice cream in the universe. You'd name your price and get a nine year recurring contract payment.

That seems a high price to pay for a 33 year old Ed Curnow.  

Revised offer; Love Shack 12'' maxi single and 2 packs of Smiths crisps.

Someone here who watches all of Carlton's games ... TDK has some potential and shows flashes here and there but really has not shown enough yet to warrant a big contract. Carlton will not match any huge offers (say from Sydney) because frankly he is not worth it.

As for Harry McKay, yes he currently has issues with his goal kicking but they can be worked on. His play around the ground has been quite good this season, his marking has been great, general field kicking fine, tackles and puts pressure on. He is also surprisingly fast for a tall player.

He did try a few drop punts against Collingwood last week and did kick two so he may be on his way to fixing his set shot kicking yips.

Two seasons ago when he won the Coleman he was used close to goals as a classic full forward so most of his goal kicking was from shorter ranges, he is being used differently now that Curnow is back from long term injury.

Uncontracted at years end. Do we make a play for a talented tall who could perhaps play forward for us?

what would we offer a VFL player in his 6th year ?? or are you thinking Casey offer him something ?

Edited by Bay Riffin

No, he isn't very good as a fwd.  he is ok as a ruck but again not that great.

we have 5 fwds that are as good as him.

All he needs is to finally have a really good preseason. Are you aware of how long it took Tom Hawkins to come good?

Sour cream and vinegar preferably stale.

If he played at a big club…look out. This guy is a star.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
