Himmelberg, according to at least two clubs contacted by The Scoop, could command as much as $900,000 per season, if he were to leave the Giants. A long-term deal at that price would trigger first-round compensation, meaning GWS could have three first-round picks in the upcoming draft.

    I will throw in a 29/30 year old.

    Brisbane have benefitted over the last few years from the Hawthorn rebuild with Gunston, Birchall & Hodge...

    Geelong benefited with Smith.

    WC maybe looking at restructuring their list & I would think Elliot Yeo would be a good get for a few years. Shouldn't cost a lot but would add a lot to a contender.

    Looks like WC are trying to play Yeo out of the team playing him at FB against Tex...

    ...make the call.

    Does anyone watching Brisbane more attentively than I am, have an opinion on Zac Bailey?

    Would've thought his speed, kicking andinside-50 effectiveness would be a useful addition to our midfield mix. My impression is that he currently gets used excessively on hff and in 'outside' roles, when his junior footy suggested he was quite happyy in the packs as well.

    Bailey is always very dangerous against us. He does have good burst from the stoppage, but my read on him is he's better offensively, without much defensively. This is probably a Brisbane problem.

    Thoughts on Darcy Parish to complement our mids with a bit of speed? Not an elite ball user, but he's probably quicker than anyone else in our midfield.

    I guess it depends on cost...?

    No way could we afford him. Plus we also have a better version in Oliver. 
     

    Id love to get an outside midfielder or half backer that can compliment Salem. I’d look to throw Boewy in the HF.

    Parish has improved a hell of a lot the last couple of years, would doubt we could afford him. I personally feel Bowey has attributes and upside that complement the rest of our midfield, would love to see him given an extended run in there.

    Providing his body is sound at the end of the season, I'd absolutely take Elliot Yeo. 

    Would compliment us perfectly. 

    He's certainly big bodied. He's a good player when fit and a reasonable user of the ball. Wouldn't say he was an elite user though.

    It'd be hard stopping a midfield of Petracca, Yeo, Oliver, Viney and Sparrow. That's a strong, aggressive and powerful mix.

    Love Bowser, but reckon he's too small for the midfield.

    Yeah fair enough, agree he is potentially to small for the midfield but I would still love to see him given a go.

    Realistically he's the same height as Lachie Neale but probably same build as Zak Butters.

    I definitely think it can work.

    And he is incredibly tough. It’s not the worse idea. I’d like to see him get stronger through his core tho. You don’t want him to be easily moved off the ball in the contest.

    Think this needs to be a serious consideration over the summer similar to the transition the club did with Trent Rivers in doing more midfield training and working on his fitness/core as a plan for Bowy.

    Larkey signed with the Roos apparantly, but perhaps  mckay may be gettable given his goal kicking woes?

    All i know os that our club doesn't get involved in bidding wars for second rate players that come on to the market and tout prices of $800+k a year.

    How has that worked for Carlton?

    When we have a need we target a player and get them, Think Langdon and Hibberd. All for a good price.

    Our recruiting team is the nest in the business

    We do need to develop a gorilla defender though. Not sure we have on of them anywhere.

    Cerra, Zac Williams, McGovern, Jack Martin, Hewitt and Saad

    Saad goes ok

    Both Trac & Clarry would burn him. People still sleep on Oliver’s pace.

    Just go and raid the Roos again for Larkey. 

    He can take over BBB's contract after next year.

    I would try and target the following in order of who I’d like most to who is probably the most realistic 

    1. Larkey 

    2. Naughton 

    3. McKay (Ben) 

    4. Himmelberg (but not for the reported $900k!)

    5. Georgiadis

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
