Far out.

It's begun already. I thought I could last until September and then bugger off for a while.

You're contracted.

What will D'Land get in return?

I just don't see this move working out...

    Yes on Scully. Don't know about Trengrove but he's doing well in the SANFL.

    I believe so.

    Scully will play just as many as a Rich this year IMO. He's that good.

    Trengove will be ready, he's been playing for Sturt of late and playing well. Becoming accustomed to 'hard bodies' in at Senior level.

    Others may have different opinions.

    Thanks Guys i saw a lot of WAFL games last year through work at the ABC, but we don't get the interstate Feeds this year.

    Last year i watched Rich Nik Nat (freak Talent) & Taylor walker all evolve-was great. I can't hate 'em!!!

    Our young must be that good & Better.....

    Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich.

    The difference between Rich and both Trengove and Scully is that Rich has an unbelievable physique. He has such a huge amount of muscle bulked onto his frame for an 18/19 year old, that even people who train 10 years might struggle to achieve. He is just lucky that his body has the genes to easily put on muscle. Morton on the other hand, has a body type that really struggles to put on muscle. He'd have to eat a horse to put on any weight.

    Question i need answering as best as possible.

    Are Scully & Trengove as "ready made" as Daniel Rich. I saw a lot of Rich on TV. I haven't seen the 2 Boys for this year, only go on what i read.

    Are they Ready for senior AFL straight away??

    Yes and no. Rich is ridiculously overdeveloped, and has the skill set to make an impact immediately... including a loooong, flat, accurate kick, which is something that is as useful at 18 as it is at 32.

    Scully isn't that kind of player necessarily. And neither he nor Trengove have the big body of Rich right now. But then, who does? In terms of work ethic, skills, and engines... I can say at least in Scully's case, he could play a lot of footy next year. Trengove has also been playing amongst men all year too.

    The only thing will be how their bodies handle the physical stuff. I'd have said the same as all of this about Grimes, but his first season was ruined by a back injury. Scully is fairly slight... Trengove less so, but still just a teenager. There's a reason they call Rich Bam Bam.

    Here's one from left field - Melbourne sounding out Danyle Pearce !

    why? is he out of favour with Chocco ?

    I heard at the weekend from a "source" very loosely associated with the club that Shaun Burgoyne will request a trade.

    Same source also added a bit of background to what Rucci alluded to as the "cliques" among the players which is affecting their playing as a team and may be part of the reason Shaun wants out. Not surprising both Burgoynes and Pearce are supposedly members of the same clique with Senior Burgoyne being the prime "agitator", as also alluded to by Rucci when mentioning "off field issues" affecting his on field performance.

    All is not well down in Alberton it would seem.

    thats for sure.. seems to be a pigs breakfast of 'affection and love' pmsl !! I geta few bottles from a SA wino mate..he an avid Crow boy..he thinks its hilarious. They seem on the point of implosion .

    Pearce is more than handy. I say it again ..trade week 2009 is going to be very intereting..ought to be a lot more 'interests with weight"

    I'm not surprised if this is all true. I'm glad you mentioned Pearce, it confirms what I heard. I wonder how Bailey got along with these blokes. :)

    Food for thought.

    Probably why they're scrambling to get Hardwick back even though he's been knocked back by North and now probably the Tiges.

    Don't blame the tiges either for choosing Hinkley.

    Anyone seen the speech at 3/4 time in the GFL grand final?

    That was against my team.

    The bastard got them up that's for sure - they wouldn't have had a chance without him pulling the strings.

    Yes, it seems it's Hinkley to Tigers, Hardwick to Port Adelaide like the Buckley/Malthouse and Roos/Longmire set-ups. Stuey Dew to replace Hardwick at Hawks?

    I think with these sorts of developments Bailey will really be in the gun next year, re: media speculation as to his demise.

    Same with Clarkson at Hawthorn.

    Let's hope we can win enough games to keep this from happening. Let another club be the story

    2 - DB is building a list of kids to grow learn and play together

    3 - for the last time ,Rich was playing against men for two years before entering the AFL system, Scully , like Watts will be a star but MAY need time

    • 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.
