The biggest turnover, surely

Off topic - Leave Rivers alone FFS. He is only just coming back from injury and there are plenty of players that we should worry about before him.

On topic - I knew that we had culled some players but the stats are quite sobering. That is 4 or 5 years experience we won't have next year.

 
They will when we are a better team and able to pressure the ball carrier.

Value rise for Mr Rivers...

1) when will that be ?

2) you don't think the quicker Garland, Frawley, or Martin will be able to handle that long kick in ?

Rivers.

Daylight.

A bit more daylight.

Garland.

Martin.

Frawley.

Warnock.

I know who I want in the team.

Rivers is no longer the number one backmen he once was. I'm hoping that with a full preseason he'll keep improving as a player. Frawley looks to be the number 1 backmen. Warnock takes the hulks, Garland the mobile forwards and Martin could possibly be moving up forward. Rivers is the backup, the second man in. He'll end up on the 3rd tall when the others are all fit and playing. In my mind, he'll play an important part in our future but it's not the guarantee it once was.

Having said that, I'd trade him if another team wanted to pay over the odds.

You gotta remember that Tommy McNamara will soon be included in this list of young tall defenders

2009 – Potentially (and with the point of getting the total games lost to 3000 in 3 years. All games in brackets are a rough guess of what they’ll be at round 22 2009)

McDonald (235)

Robertson (230)

Whelan (150)

Wheatley (140)

Bell (65)

P.Johnson (60)

Great thread youami.

Would it be too much to expect a commentator like Walls might read this and mention it on Fridat night? Even if Gary sees it and mentions it on the Footy Show. Would be a big feather in your cap... They should pay you a commission for doing their job for them.

But this last section concerns me. I think Robbo will stick around. Maybe even Wrecker. And PJ isn't going anywhere.

Just throwing out a big number like 3000 doesn't mean THAT much in real terms. Don't kid yourselves. Experience, even that of not-so-elite players like Bruce, Green and Wrecker is VITAL to the growth of our all-important kids. What good is getting the experience in them if their growth is stunted. There's more to blooding a side than throwing 6 18 year olds, 6 19 year olds and 6 20 year olds into your starting 18.


1) when will that be ?

2) you don't think the quicker Garland, Frawley, or Martin will be able to handle that long kick in ?

I reckon, all things considered, we could win 12 games next year.

As for those three, I really hope they can, and I think they are all 150-200 game players but I have been wrong before.

Garland is out this year after 1 breakout season, Frawley is going through his 1 breakout season, and Martin is a basketballer-cum-footballer.

There is a lot of promise there but it would be a risk to remove Rivers from our list and rely on these three.

  • 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

    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.
