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

Comes out of contract at the end of 2026.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
