Richmond vs North Melbourne @ Bellerive Oval --- Round 23, 2025

[Francois Jackson]

It's time to start adding a free agent or 2 this year.

We started with bachar and it's time now to start. A midfielder would be nice who isn't getting game time.

Imagine if we lost hopper and tt this year? Serpel and Yze would be dead men walking.

Need to get improving.

While understand your point Frankie. Personally I wouldn't be going after free agents this year

And TBBH  I doubt we'd attract any anyway

My view is...

We go to the draft and being in more young talent to compliment what we've got. 2027 onwards we go after free agents.

Bachar Houli Grigger 2011 versions didn't think the same.

Wouldn't hurt to wait a year, but I definitely want to see something coming through in that mid 20's range very soon.

If that Port bloke is interested in coming over I'd be keen

[ajGreen]

grigg and houli were 23 when they came in.

I wouldn't want to target players much older than that.

Would be disappointing to go down the darling/parker/Daniel type recruitments are this stage

Butters is 25 shortly though, a gun mid with breakaway pace.

I'd consider that for sure. He'd have at least 6-8 years of footy in him.

Butters is contracted for 2026 and i can't see Pirt trading him out.

FA end of next year and certainly is worth making a pitch to him for 2027. Though I can see Port offering him a monster deal to stay

Well I'd make an exception for butters.

Currently top15 player in the player ratings and would speed up the rebuild one would think.

Bit different from grigg and houli - 2011

2, 3 and a future 1st would make them think   

Ditto Reid and NWM

I wouldn't pay that price for Butters tbh. Nor Messiah.

8 premiership players plus TT and JH and they serve up that slop .

Me thinks they’re already on their end of season trips .

Next week could be even more embarrassing.

NWM no longer an option.

 " Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera has decided to stay at St Kilda. Understand the superstar Saint is set to sign a two-year extension and become the AFL’s first $2 million player. "

See for me at least it won't be as I'm expecting to lose. Geelong are like the Bulldogs, beat up on lowered teams (as they should)

Yesterday I was expecting to win. Based on the team we had there versus the team N0rt had out there I was expecting to win.

It was an embarrassing day for our Club

You've clearly cut and pasted the above quote from somewhere. Site rules are if you do that you must quote the source.

Suggest you do that pronto or it gets removed

Only a two year deal

@tommorris32

"The playing group just erupted at Moorabbin having been told Nas is staying. It’s $2 million x 2 guaranteed money.

Adelaide’s offer was $1.5-1.7 x 4 (they were prepared to offer longer if needed). Port’s was 12 years at up to $2.5 million per season… As much as $30 million in total"
