One little error in your summary, Kreuzer and Cotchin will not be at the same club.

PS. Hope we play Hawks in Round 1 , no Hodge, Crawford and Lewis.


Will Carlton be tanking in round 1 or will they field a full team?

carn you mighty dees

 

i cannot believe Yze Magic is so adament about Ken McGregor and Farren Ray.

these 2 players are probably the last players id ever want on our list. they are exactly what we DONT want on our list making a fresh start in 2008 with a new coach.

McGregor 26 yrs old!!! mediocre bits n pieces key position player. would be useful to plug holes down back and can go forward...pretty much a replica of Ben Holland, another one of our average key position players.

we need to look at young (25 and younger) players who have real talent.

McGregor= mediocrity!!!

Farren Ray is pure and simple a mediocre outside soft midfielder. he was a high draft pick who has shown much less than sylvia (and that's saying something).

Ray=mediocrity!!!

the players we should go for in the trading period

1) Chris Judd

2) Cameron Wood

3) Matt Maguire

There are 3 categories that must be ticked if we are going to trade for a player.

1) they are under 25 years old. otherwise they will be past their peak by the time we are challenging for a flag in 2-3 years

2) they are quality people and quality players

3) will fit straight into our starting 18 next year and add something to our side (i.e. dont trade for the sake of trading)!

McGregor and Ray do NOT fulfil this critera and should not be considered. i wouldnt have either of those players even making MFC's starting 18 round 1 2008.

reports are that ray wants to go back to perth


thats inspired....

Was just about to say that...

It's understood Hawks will be playing Carlton on Good Friday - round 1 next year.

The AFL will probably send us to Perth :rolleyes:

We are more likely to head to Darwin! :angry:

the other bit of YM/s dream that wont happen is Neita wont be BOG. Bit like treadrea at Port we can expect the big guy to get 7 goal bags in 2008 BUT he will demand 1st or 2nd key defender! but a good wish list YM

That's one hell of a victory...

But you made one mistake...

Jud plays for Carlton apparently.

Depending on how Hurley goes injury wise over the summer, Carlton will no doubt be looking for him to become their star backman and will tank from round 8 to get 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.
