According to Cal T. :

”Unless Roos come with a last huge offer, Eagles set to hold at 1. Could dangle a future first if Dan Curtin is still on the board”.

Wonder if he is talking about the Dees.

WC could offer their F1 progressively to Hawthorn, the Dogs, MFC, GWS, Geelong until Curtin is taken. It will become progressively more attractive.

    The stupidest justification for selecting a player, yet it just keeps popping up...

    It is not the justification, as no one would take a dud in the hope you could swap him.

    Curtin was suggested to be as good as  Reid by some pundits.

    It’s more an insurance bonus if homesickness leads him to want to return to WA.

    If he is available at our pick I would think we probably take him and swapping him later with Reid would not enter into the drafting discussion.

    The Eagles will offer it for every spot that Curtin is available, but I’m not convinced we take it. Especially not straight up.

    That said, if there’s no one left that we rate in the elite crop we have a choice to make between:

    1. Moving back the prized part of the Jackson trade back one year further 

    2. Taking Curtin who seems to be increasing his flight risk level to a fairly high level, which means he could be gone inside 3 years. Could all be rubbish, but the player manager played his cards strongly. 

    Im always of the belief you draft interstate talent unless you think it’s inevitable. Curtin could be flirting with it. Only those with inside knowledge would know.

    I’m hoping JT and Co have someone else in the top bracket they want instead and take the pick.

    I would take the future 1st in order to get a ready made like the May

    Lever trades. Who is likely in our sights?

    Like O'Sullivan ?

    Curtin’s manager said he has talked to the Dees, and that they said they would take him at 6, if he’s still there.

    Skip ahead to about 10.30 in.

    Melbourne #6 -> North

    North #2 #6 -> West Coast (= Curtain & satisfies their want for 2 top 10 picks)

    West Coast #1 -> North (= Reid)

    North & West Coast Future First Rounds -> Melbourne

     

    Would you?

    That's potentially pick 1 and 2 in next year's draft. You'd have to look at it

    WC 2024 first rounder is 95% to be either pick 1 or 2. most likely 1.

    Suns, Freo, Hawks, bombers will all improve

    I wonder if we consider trading to North for their 2023 p15 and 2024 1st?  Cal has Darcy Wilson going to North with this selection. 
     

    is Wilson + Norths 2024 1st > that Windsor?

    You may well turn out to be right. The wildcard is what Free Agency compo picks get dealt out by AFL House.

    • 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.
