    Two Harrys, then?

    And 'harry': 'Persistently carry out attacks (on an enemy or an enemy's territory)'

    That'll do me.

    That's what I thought. Why the heck would he have got a 3 year contract?

    It might’ve been a 2 year deal with a trigger that he reached in year 1, but yep, welcome to Melbourne list management. Everyone gets at least a year they don’t deserve

    We all thought it was 2 years, but the list management pinned thread (which is fantastic) has a bit of chatter that it was three years due to a trigger of some sort.

    Either way, he is off the list which is a great result.

    His VFL highlights has some really nice kicks on both sides but it’s not a strength from what I’ve seen of him at afl level. Not a lot of power in his game, great endurance but not the fastest.

    He’d be wing/high half forward depth and good players who excel defensively in those roles aren’t easy to find. I suggested Ned McHenry because that’s how hard it is to find super hard runners with any talent at all.

    Nibbler wasn’t Nibbler for a very long time in his career either remember. 

    Contracted, you’d want Brisbane to do the right thing and let him go for a bag of chips.

    I wonder if this means Windsor moves to half back and mid rotation. Very interesting move.

    Hunter signed a 5 year contract prior to the 2019 season with the Dogs to take him through to the end of 2023.

    Therefore we either extended his contract by 2 further years when he came across to us at the end of 2022 or his solid 2023 season set off a trigger.

    As for Sharp, his PB at AFL level is an 18 possession 1 goal game against the Suns earlier this year and he also had a 19 possession 3 goal game in one of the VFL finals just gone.

    Because both Sharp and Derksen are contracted we may have to pay overs for them maybe 37 for Sharp and 45 for Derksen.

    Windsor will never play half back. 
    Will go straight into the centre to direct our connectivity to our forward line. 
    Sharp Bowey could play wing even Pup Brown possibly though I think  he could end up as an on baller or half forward.

    Don't mind this.

    One of the fittest players going around in the competition and one thing he does bring is quick ball movement and speed.

    He's actually a bit like Ed Langdon in that he'll hit a target 30m up the field and then follow up again with a hand pass and reset again.

    He's contracted though, I hope Brisbane aren't similar to Dersken.

    I also like this because he's still only 21 so there's lot of growth and improvement left unlike the past recruits who've had of recent.

    Still plenty and growth and development left, and knows, could have a Toby Bedford breakout season hopefully.

    Do you think he'd be a decent replacement for ANB? We're going to miss his gutrunning and goal-sense.

    Yes I do. He's a genuine gut runner.

    This to me is a smart potential trade. On the cusp of their best 22 but held out through their depth of midfield. Vic boy. Strong runner. Wont cost the earth and at 21 potential upside in development and potentially fills holes in list left by ANB and Hunter.

    And sounding like Lions open to it. Suppose Ashcroft and others in and Coleman and McCarthy back helps.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
