We were going to draft him.

Geelong traded up by a spot.

Restricted out of contract.

Don't know our cap sito, but if we have space, throw the cheque book at him.

    IF WE HAVE SPACE!

    We could sign LeBron James to a super max extension this off season I reckon.

    Apparently Holmes cracked it being left out of their grand final side a couple years ago

    Do clubs really trade fair value

    We got nowhere approaching LJ's worth and if Petty goes we might get a high second round.

    Don't know much about Holmes... what is he worth (both pick and salary)

    The answer would be a resounding no based on the recent Grundy trade.

    We received a couple of mediocre picks in exchange for making a top 8 rival considerably stronger.

    Its a part of doing business. When you lose one you get unders, when one chooses to come your way you do better. If you work free agency to your advantage (in and out) you'll end up in front.

    “Nowhere approaching LJ’s worth”?

    You don’t think two first round picks was ”approaching” it?

    No

    when given the picks were both expected to be around 14. Luck made the second year pick higher

    He was a pick 3 21 year old with proven high level skills. His $1M salary put him in the top 20-40 salary wise in the league

    Not saying we could have done better but we got nowhere near his future worth

    Jefferson in 2022 for example shows that pick 14/15 doesn't equal Jackson

    Been thinking this a long time after it was highly public Geelong usurped us.. pace is big plus and would suit our mids given he’s more outside overall but can win it inside as well..

    This.

    We paid nowhere near Grundy's market value to get him to us. The fact we completely @#$%^& it up is a different issue. We also picked up BBB for a song and got Langers for a set of steak knives.

    • 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?
