The forward line is the least of the problems. JVR, petty, turner, Pickett, fritch, macadam and Jefferson. 
The issue is the midfield and delivery into forward 50

    Yeah our issue midfield now big time. Would be nice to have a Waterman or Lynch but not at great cost. We need our midfield back up and humming it has let us down big time.

    I thought we asked this question last year. His body isn't holding up at the moment, I wouldn't.

    Yes but only if he comes cheap and we’re unable to land another player/s who would otherwise take up our cap space

    I think Tex Walker makes more sense if we go this direction.

    he's on massive coin and his body looks incapable of getting through more than a quarter of a season

    happy to take on his contract but wouldn't want to pay more than a third round pick - that we probably weren't intending to use - on acquiring him from the tigs

    We have committed to building our forward line from the ground up and (imo) it will pay off. We suffered from having too much NQR tall timber, especially at Casey.

    Play the kids!! I trust Jvr, Petty and Disco to offer more, consistently next year then any older injury prone forward.

    Same as Houston, no thanks.

    The only KPF we should pursue, if it even happens, McKay in a potential trade for Petracca.

    Otherwise, solder on and play on with JVR and Disco.

    Or perhaps Tex, but it is a big IF.

    I'm not sure if the forward line is the least of our problems, but the midfield and the whole system of ball movement is absolutely number one.

    Tell our CEO who’s yapping about needing a key forward.

    Petty back.

    A mature key forward to cover Jeffo/Disco would be ideal.

    If Richmond can swallow 5-750 of his 1.5  it’s worth a try if we can fix the midfield and flankers with some speed, skill and aggression

    technically i'd say the ceo was yapping about the fans yapping about needing a key forward...

    Would TDK or Waterman be tempting - very much so yes. We would have to pay out the bum to get them though. 

    Besides JVR, our keys talls have been drafted very shrewdly by JT and I hope we stay on that path.

    But it was true last off season. 

    Now with one more year of development for JVR and the surprising form of Disco, things look different.

    We can't be that desperate to just have retired BBB and now bring someone who is as close as cooked as BBB was.

    If this is a salary dump, I'd do the deal if it's similar to the Jack Bowes situation a couple of years ago (see below).

     

    "Geelong was the first club to exploit the newly-introduced salary dumping, taking pick No.7 and Jack Bowes, as well as his $1.6 million contract, off Gold Coast’s hands for just a future third-round pick."

    I still have PKTSD.

    It's also a very big and extremely loud NO to Lynch.

    I'd say not only because his body is shot but it would be nice to nab someone for a year or two to help fast track JVR and Jeffo's development.

    Our fwd line has been an issue for years so i’m glad we are exploring options

    Obviously we need mids but we can look for both

    JVR will be quality but will Petty/Turner be long term quality forwards?

    May and T Mac don’t have long left so Petty/Turner could go back

    But Lynch he is about to turn 32 so it would be too big a risk imo

    No one will take him with his body falling to pieces and there is really no need for the Tigs to move him on.

    I doubt there are many on big coin at tigerland at the moment with the recent retirements and trades, so they need to pay someone.

    The only way they would get rid of him would to be continue paying some of his contract and trade him for a high draft pick in exchange.

    So effectively they'd be buying a decent draft pick which makes sense for them in rebuild mode.

    The only temptation would be if his injuries were impact/once off injuries.  But when its soft tissue and feet, then it's a no go.

    He'll finish at the Tigs.  No one else would be rolling the dice on him.

    • 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.
