    These highlights against senior WAFL men is seriously very impressive from the kid.

    Given that Tholstrup was touted to go in the late teens, i wonder if we are contemplating trading 6 for WCE future 1st and then trading our future first for a Nth Melb late teens pick.

    Pros:

    - Big body and agile

    - Hits the contest, enjoys the niggle

    - Clean overhead marking

    - not the most natural kicking action but can penetrate and seems to have poise to choose his targets inside 50 especially after marking across half forward.

    - versatile mid/forward and possibly wing? (6:17 2km)

    - Country kid with personality!

    Cons:

    - Not a huge ball winner 
    - Might lack breakaway pace or explosive leap that can be handy for a forward 
    - Preferred position? It’s hard work being an afl half forward. Are we spending a first round pick on Nibbler2? And is he up for it?

    Shades of: Daniel Lloyd, Cam Rayner, Tom Sparrow, Cam Zurhaar 

    I have heard him compared to a Rayner, Petracca, De Goey by a couple of different talent scouts.  and apparently one that has been a late mover.  I really like the look of him but who knows as well

    Agree, i think we will be looking at that if Curtin is still there at 6, WCE will try get back into the draft. and seeing they wouldn't take our offer for 1 i hope we play a little bit of hard ball.

    but not so much that it falls over:  Melb - 2024 First Round, 2023 pick 42 for WCE - 2024 First Round and 2023 pick 37

    might be stuff of fantasy but would hope we try it

    Pretty sure WC future first  is on the table for Curtin without any other add ons. 
    We would only put our future first on the table for their pick 23

    He screams ‘JT pick’ in the best way possible

    There was an article yesterday stating we are unlikely to do a deal for West Coast's future 1st due to the risk of them rising next year with an injury free list. With 11 home games at Perth and a clean fit list, its definitely a gamble that we turn pick 6 into something significantly better a year later.

    They would need to sweeten the pot for us significantly, starting with pick 23 and no return of our future 1st. Perhaps our future 2nd. Even then I don't like it.

    It’d have to be an educated gamble with a sound understanding of next year’s draft crop composition and how it caters to our list needs. It wouldn’t be based on the vague hope that the top 5 is stronger next year (like it would be for me).

    There’s already Levi Ashcroft and one the Camporeale boys who will compromise the top end of next years draft

    I think that if we have a player that we want now then why would we risk possibly maybe getting something slightly better next year? 

    If we like Curtin (or another) at 6 this year and want that player, why not just take them? If we don't really rate the players at 6 then sure, trade it away for a lottery ticket, but if we do rate them then grab one you want.

    Agreed.

     

    Edit: I don't think we can lose out this year with one of Curtin, Watson, Sanders or Caddy being available.

    Melbourne to Esperance and back is less than 6,000km if fly direct (which is possible). So, either the 8,000km figure is wrong, or Taylor went via Perth. Relevance? If he went to Perth, who else did he speak to?

    It says he flew to Perth, before catching a light plane to Esperance

    Suggests to me he wanted to meet someone in Perth. Otherwise he could have flown to Esperance directly and saved a lot of time.

    Have you ever heard about things changing. 

    Clubs don't lock in players weeks out before the draft....

    As Jason Taylor stated today, there has been about 15 players that they have interviewed for that pick 11 range and are continuing to assess how the top order falls.

    Exactly!  I am just passing on what I am hearing as I know others are like minded and interested in what’s happening in the background.


    Why don’t you just keep your comments to yourself, does it make you feel like a bigger man to bring others down or to potentially throw things back in the face if they get something wrong?

    • 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.
