he is only 21, dropped to the reserves recently and down on confidence. Does anyone think he would be worth trading for? In just his 2nd season he was awesome on the half back line, averaged 22 touches a game, kicked 17 goals for the year, ran the lines and finished 2nd in their best and fairest.

thoughts?

    What a great idea, let's trade for yet another half back flanker. Guys who are not quite here or there so we play them on the HBF

    PJ chased him down. No good. Not worth trading for. KP players are the focus.

    andrew mcleod plays on the HBF. its still an important position. while Key position should be a preference, if Sherman got remotely back to his best...he would be a better replacement for whelan.

    and with the PJ example, if we singled out every time a player made a mistake players like Miller would have been delisted years ago. I think sherman is worth a shot.

    So does CJohnson, Petterd, Bell, Whelan, Frawley, Buckley, Green, Paul "the Pancake Maker" Wheatley, Bruce. I'd say we've got it covered. We need topliners, not another HBF

    He's no A.McLeod..................

    PJ's example was just a snippet, thats all.

    Whelan? :o

    sherman at his best is better than everone on that list though

    Has there ever been more smack talked in history?

    Sherman is an average player at best.

    when u trade, you should do so for 2 reasons only.

    1) to bring in a topline quality player onto your list

    2) to bring in a good player who fills a specific hole in your list.

    Sherman fulfills neither reason, and therefore should not even be looked at.

    People should think before suggesting players MFC will realistically trade for.

    Yes, there has...

    i wouldn't kick it to morton if he was 50 metres on his own. he puts a blow torch to the ball every time he eventually decides to kick it. waste of a pick 4. should have got palmer. never pick players that are in between hieghts (190-192). versatility is over-rated, i prefer specialty in one position

    Speed? If the cost was low, I'd definitely consider him. The kid can play. His speed is a weapon, he likes to run and carry breaking the lines and is clearly a confidence player. His currency is almost as low as his confidence at the minute. At 21, Bailey might like the challenge. His biggest issue has been finishing off his work when delivering into the forward 50.

  • Quote

    I'd consider it for a 3rd rounder or equivalent. The pace thing is the only reason though. Oh, and youth.

    yay some people thast know their footy. anyone under 22 that has had a top 2 finish in a best and fairest has some serious talent. he is a specialist half back flanker in my opinion whereas whelan, green, bell, frawley, buckley and bruce are either utilities (bruce), upcoming key position players(frawley), back pocket players(whelan) or midfielders(green).

    He had a brilliant year in 2006. If he could recapture that form then a definite yes.

  • Quote

    One of my favourite players.

    Completely dropped away since his first year for whatever reason, but has had success this year playing as a tagger. Potential is definitely there but his head doesn't always seem so switched on

    Is this rhyming slang?

    We seriously lack creative runners from defence. Buckley, Bartram and Bell can run, but they aren't creative. If the price was no higher than a 3rd round draft choice, I'd take him.

    completely flawed logic. according to this, fevola would be a good pick up? he is a star, that fills a need. It just goes to show that it is alot more complicated than 2 simple steps. age is an issue: sherman is still young.

    Also according to you, melbourne footy club would not even look at players like shaun burgoyne, scott thompson, daniel kerr, bartel if they wanted out at their respective clubs because we already have those types of players at our club. Sherman could be to Whelan, bell, chris johnson etc as a daniel kerr is to nathan jones...an improvement!

    so which is he, different than wheelan or a replacement for wheelan?

    Yes, there has...

    great post ;) you'll be reminded of that for a long time freak...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
