McAdam will get a chance to redeem himself next season, but may face new competition for the role in the best 22. What will be interesting is what we do during the national draft. If we add a highly touted draftee who can play that forward role, it will add to the competition for spots in the senior side. Look at what Windsor did to Billings and Hunters opportunities on the wing. He leapfrogged both of them for the spot in the 22 and would have held it all season to ad he not been injured.

I cannot believe the negativity sprouted by opposition supporters surrounding his selection. Have they been watching gawn? He has been the standard for the past decade, and keeps finding ways to influence the game. There is no comparison in the modern era. He stands above all as the greatest modern day Ruckman to play the game. Sadly some opposition supporters won't recognize his greatness until he's long retired. Enjoy big Max while you can, as I'm sure he'll hang them up at the conclusion of his recent contract extension.

If we'd just rolled off a flag and were looking at some depth insurance i'd be interested. Reality is we need a mini rebuild and lists spots for draftees is the direction we need to take.

Can only wish this guy well. He was always on a short leash with the FD and was surprisingly dropped a few times after solid games. Probably deserved more from us than he got. Good luck to him, I hope he finds a situation that works for him.

Lynch was a hell of a player. WAS a hell of a player. I watched what injuries and father time did to our Benny Brown, and know that sometimes there is no turning back the clock.

Can we use Maynard's lawyer to challenge if he gets rubbed out?

I hope this kid isn't the new whipping boy. He wasn't as awful as everyone seems to think. He hardly played and has a crack. He didn't set the world in fire but not many of our players did. I'm not giving up hope, let's get around the kid and see what he can do next season.

I'll be there as usual sitting in the members wing. Carn the f'n dees!

Was chatting to a mate of mine who is a mad tigers fan. He's confident that Yze and the tigers may try and convince him to come to tigerland. According to him they'd hypothetically get picks 9 and 10 for Bolton, then on trade those two picks and a future 1st for Trac. At first I thought it was a nonsense suggestion, but if one side could raise the draft capital, have the salary cap room to accommodate his contract, and draw blockbuster crowds in Vic to entice him to join, it's Richmond. I hope Trac stays, but if he forces our hand and requests a trade Richmond could make a deal happen.

I hope this kid has a large wardrobe, because I see an AA jacket or two in his future. Really love watching him develop.

I'd love Trac to stay and retire here. But, he is in his prime and his value is likely never going to be higher at the trade table. If he's really that unhappy, and a deal can be stuck for fair value, then I guess let's reload with kids and see if we can get back to the top of the mountain.

Well deserved extension. Probably wins the bluey this year.

In: The tank for a better draft position Out: Season 2024

This draft was 10/10. All players we drafted will go on to have AFL careers, and we drafted at the back end of the early rounds. To find McVee in the rookie draft also is outstanding. Can't fault this draft given where our picks were and what we got.

First game I've missed all season due to a close mates 40th. I'll always support the dees through thick and thin, but there's more to life than footy.
