One media bloke’s opinion 


The Eagles did trade pick 2 last year. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to convert pick 1 into a couple of top 10 picks. Their list is in shocking state and badly needs to be refreshed. Whether we would want to spend all out capital on one player i'm not sure. Reckon we would be better off taking our picks to the draft.

Take Harley Reid for mine 

 

Lots of draft assets to trade for one kid...both scary and exciting should it happen


Hmmmm.  Hypothetically it’s worth a shot.  He’s not a once in a lifetime player. But in patches, his ballwinning, pace and aggression is super impressive.

I think it’s highly likely we go for it and certainly possible West Coast agree to it. It’s almost an identical play to what we tried last year with Essendon’s pick and Humphrey. 

Something like:

pick 4, pick 15 and our future first 

For pick 1 and a future third 

Is mutually beneficial IMO. Eagles get to take Curtin and also get two bonus first rounders to strengthen their rebuild.

And we get to draft the heir apparent to Petracca and Oliver. He will be hitting his prime just as they are slowing down / retiring. 

Yes, there’s no guarantees of Reid becoming a star. But the inside bulls have a MUCH higher probability of making it than anyone else. 

 

I'd like to thank Fremantle and Luke Jackson, but also GWS and Richmond. They really came to our aid in a trying circumstances when Freo were getting a run on mid season. Hoping they both make the 8 and lose in the semi's.

Mind you our last Harley didn't end up so well.


I'm getting excited

Rarely do re MFC

Seriously... our drafting has been ok but not stellar in recent years

Hopefully a guy like this can give us a corridor option from time to time

Alright getting a bit excited at the prospect of bringing him in, I do worry selling the farm for P1 and not addressing our glaring need for a KPF. Here’s how I’d attack the trade. 
 

1) Trade Harmes to Essendon for 3rd rounder (46) 

2) 46 and Tomlinson to the dogs for 35

3) Package 3 second rounders 23 (freo) 34 (ours) 35 (dogs) & 54 (third round compo for losing Jordan - 2059 draft points to GC for pick 6 - 1751 points, they need their points for their academy boy. 
 

4) 4 & 6 F2 to WCE for 1 & F3

 

that would leave us 1, our first & 89 as our first 3 picks. 
 

 

As stated elsewhere Zane Duursma is sleeping in his Casey jumper tonight.

Forget Reid if we have pick 4 Duursma will be the name announced. Watched him on today's live stream from Coburg he is tall, moves well and oozes class. He has trained with us, played 2 Casey games that I can remember and stood out for Vic metro and knows how to kick goals.

Yes -  ZD could be Silk 2. Might be plan A, or plan B. Maybe FD will politely enquire with WC about pick 1 but not sell the farm. It’s great to have options…


With pick 4 looking more and more likely we will be one of probably only 2 teams that could trade with WC. If they want Curtain then there’s no point in them trading for picks lower than 4 as there would be a strong chance Curtain could be gone. 
With that in mind it will all depend how highly they rate Curtain- our first two first rounders might be enough to get the deal done. 
I'm not in favour of giving up 3 firsts as I think we have a few holes to fill. 

No idea about talent (haven’t watched my usual 30 mins of YouTube highlights just yet) but getting Lamb and Taylor the capital to do something like this could be glorious.

That is why we deathride💀 🚴

That’s it. Good pick to have either way. Whether it’s flipped for this Reid kid, or kept and spent on its merits. The Freo pick looks like a good one.

i agree he is a great size and looks good.

I'm not sure we have enough for pick 1.  would 4 and 15 get it done? last couple of years there has been some big offers for the #1 pick.  3 first rounders for Horne-Francis.

If we can, go for it.  But very handy back up plan too.

Jason Taylor has an impeccable record with mids, not just the players we've drafted but the ones he has coveted e.g. Butters, Humphrey. I have total faith he'll have a definite view on Reid and other possibilities like Duursma.  We will actually be in a position to execute on his plan with the Freo pick.

It will be interesting to see where Curtin is expected to fall and that will influence WC. North have a lot of mids and he may appeal to them more than say McKercher, especially if they succeed in their bid for Sanders. They may have two picks before our Freo pick too via McKay.

  • 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.
