Riccardi definitely worth a look. not getting a game. 

And Brown isnt even in the emergencies. We should go hard and hopefully land one. Cadman looking like he’ll be a gun so they are stacked

Anyone know Henry Smith from the Lions?

206cm ruckman 12 tackles and 52 hitouts in the VFL Prelim.

scored 17.11 this year too. 

At 21, would be a good fit to learn from Gawny?

He’s definitely going to be a player. He’s had 3 years in the system and bulking out.  At 21yo, now he’s in line behind Omac (30) and he’s gone past Fort.  Smith debuted this year.  Contracted to 2026. Lions wouldn’t be letting him go.  He’s better than Verrall or Fullarton imv.

Guess we can expect to find out the intentions of a few GWS players this week.

“Hey Finn, I hear you like straight set exits… well, we have plenty of those where we’re from” 

Get it done Dees 😈


GWS now officially out.

Seems like Peatling will stay.

Wonder if we'll hear Waje Derksen request a trade?

Riccardi only out of the team through injury right?

Wouldn't have much reason to request a trade, apart from money or family reasons

Correct. Hadn't missed a game from Round 10 last year until he got injured this year and needed surgery which ended his season. Lachie Keeffe, who hadn't played to that point, took his spot as the third tall/back-up ruck (with Hogan and Cadman the other two).

I’m not sure Keeffe didn’t offer more tho as a genuine back up ruck and big aggressive body.

Riccardi a taller less talented Fritsch. The two of them in the same side would drive supporters (not just me) crazy.

Wouldn’t shock me if the Giants moved on Riccardi to open the spot for Max G. Especially if they pick up Crows Himmelberg for mature depth. But I suspect they keep him to cover the young talls.

Odd.  Did we finish 14th again next year as well as being allowed a two year future first pick trade exemption?

No mate, we offered LY and this Year Picks and way it has turned out means it is the largest offer ever made for one player/pick based on the points its ended-up accumulating at.

Matt Kennedy told to explore his options

Would definitely fit the bill if we’re looking for experienced midfield depth 

I actually really rate Kennedy so wouldn’t mind it at all if he came for a later pick or two

Could he fill ANB’s role?

Our second round pick tied to Swans (38?) perhaps?

I hope we don't touch 5 & soon to be 25

He killed us in (was it?) 2020 in an empty Marvel stadium.

If he's been told to go elsewhere and not part of their best 22 plans then they surely can't expect a 2nd round pick, no matter how late it is.

Bulldogs 3rd at pick 50 should do if we were interested.

I’m very much in favour of exploring the Matt Kennedy situation. 

We need more midfield power. He wants that opportunity. But he can genuinely play forward which helps with rotations.

He didn't play.


Carlton pair Matt Kennedy + Lewis Young have been told they’re free to look around elsewhere for a new home in 2025.
Kennedy had an honest conversation with Michael Voss last week - he sees himself as an inside midfielder, the Blues see him continuing half-forward role. 


I’d be happy to grab Kennedy for a pick in the 50s/60s

Owies was a player I’d thought would be nice to have as he’s very handy around the goals.

Could wax and wane fwd/mid with Trac

Was it in pre season then? Didn't he kick 4 goals against us?

Edited by Adam The God
It was pre season 2022, and he kicked 2 goals and had 37 touches.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
