We're keeping tabs according to AFL.com.au and have held long term interest.

Comes out of contract at the end of 2026.

 

 

A yes please from me.

Kicked 4 snags in one of Port’s finals last year and was/is expected to be a key part of Port’s future forward line.

Don’t reckon they will let him go with Dixon well and truly cooked.

Dixon has announced his retirement and Marshall might not make it back from concussion, so I agree there is no chance

We didn't want to let Jackson go either...but when he's out of contract (2026) if not before, the race is on.


Lord is an interesting option - cost the only issue assuming he is available 

Would like him but he is not the gorilla we crave

 

Love this option, this kid showed a lot last year.  This year ruined by injuries.  I'd prioritise getting him over that GWS kid.  Both would be great of course. 

I'd have him just to hear the MFC fans yell "Praise the Lord" whenever he does something good.


Can't see him going as they need their tall stocks more than ever.

But if there's even a slight chance..

I always thought we were in the market for Georgiades but that never eventuated.

we were until he did his acl in the sanfl, i believe

after that he rehabbed at the pear and then moved into the position of being their key forward given lord's injury run in 2024, marshall's ongoing concussion concerns, and dixon's failing body

he'll be their prime forward for the foreseeable future, you'd imagine

Port are linked to Lukosius, Cumming and Perrymen.

Currently they only hold picks 36 and 54 in the 2024 draft.

Houston and Soldo have asked for trades but are no certainty to leave if they cant get it done.

If we make a compelling offer, or if Lord firmly says he wants out, it may force Port's hand so they can get other deals done.

Marshall, Lukosius and Georgiades is still a good set of tall forwards to have if they lose Lord.

Marshall might not play again.

Cumming and Perryman are free agents.

They could probably get Lukosius with those picks, Soldo and a future 2nd. Certainly with a future first.

They have no incentive to trade Lord.

Lord trained with us as part of the afl academy, he was pick 49 in the 2020 draft.

It was the covid year and list cut down draft. We didn’t have a 3rd rounder, we took Fraser Rosman in the 2nd round.

Probably fair enough given we had a strong list in 2021 and half the kids in the draft missed most of the year but in general this is exactly why I’m in favour of always having at least 4, if not 5 national draft picks and rather than picking the eyes out of the draft just take lots of lottery tickets.

Much better off drafting our own Ollie Lord than make desperate offers to a guy contracted for 2 years who may or may not actually be any good

Unlikely if we have just got Wade D to commit to us. We still have Jeffo and Kentfield to come.

We’ll be doing well if Jeffo is a good player and one of the other 2 proves useful in anyway at all. So it doesn’t hurt to be on the front foot to try to get Lord in 2026 and even more so when he’s a free agent post 2028 (if he extends until free agency as most players do).

It’s just very hard to get quality key forwards to move to any club, yet alone for the Dees to land one.

Given he's the grandson of 1960's Geelong player Alastair Lord, I reckon there will be a strong pull to get him back there (although maybe in 5-10 years time when he's early-mid 30's)

Forget something good, I'd  yell praise the lord if he hit a target by foot.

Reading this makes me think we need him even more

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
