I'm not convinced that we have a surplus of inside mids:

McLean - Our best Mid, inside or out - Definite keep

Jones - Still young and supports McLean well, 2nd best mid - Keep

McDonald - Was our best insider up until this season - Will have a reduced role next year in the backlien and retire

Moloney - Not convinced he is an insider, more of a predator type waiting for the ball to be fed to him

Valenti - I was really hoping he'd come on strong but I have my doubts

Grimes - He might be our next big thing in the midfield but I'm just happy for him to play some consistent footy next year

Ok, forget inside midfielders, think more one paced midfielders. Jones, McLean and Moloney all get burned off by quicker opponents. I just think we need room for Buckley and maybe Davey and hopefully a few pacey types from this years draft.

Rather than have two or three of the blokes listed playing for Casey why not move one or two on?

    No one seems to address our surplus of inside midfielders.

    There is not enough room in our team for all of Jones, McDonald, McLean, Moloney, Valenti. All inside players, all one paced.

    Jones and McLean have the most value but I'd hate to get rid of either. Maybe Moloney would be worth a second round pick?

    i agree..

    JOnes a real concern, just runs up & down on the spot! Id take a top 20 pick, or a key forward..

    Moloney will stay, Valenti no certanty..

    Davey plays his best footy in the forward line lurking- lets up Bailey wakes up and doesn't put him back into the midfield..or even worse, a back flank.

    Jones should be traded.

    Moloney is the age we dont want to get rid of, he leads well- and had a ripper yr until the shoulder injury- well over his groin, so a big pre season and he'll surprise a few and have a good one next year (injury free touch wood)

    I think your correction from inside to one paced is apt. We do need to correct the pace deficiency hopefully with skilled players.

    I think Moloney could be in jeopardy and I cant see why we need to elevate Valenti.

    Its important we work with what we've got Rhino.

    Moloney is skilled, Buckley has pace. Nice combination, if you dont have both in one player.

    Am i alone by wanting us to pursue a trade for Frawley?

    He just has not showed me anything. Martin, Garland etc have showed way more than him in nearly just as much opportunity.

    Frawley, Clint Bart, Dunn, Newton All trade able in my eyes

    Bell seems to be a favorite of Bailey

    Frawley will be fine, he just needs more time to grow & develope, Garland is one out of the box & martin is allready has a huge body & a cool head. You don't find these everyday.

    Frawls has only been here for 5 minutes, give him a go.

    Moloney in jeopardy? Are you saying that you think he may be traded or losing his place on the list (delisted) come October?

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
