Hack of a player, and he's injury prone. I'm surprised Brisbane is interested in him.

Gee, the Lions really have been active this week.

    At effectively pick 80 does it matter?

    They get rid of 4 blokes who they know are hacks and then "punt" on a player who MIGHT give them something and who has not cost them much at all.

    The last time clubs invested in a bunch of list cloggers were Carlton in 2004 and St Kilda in 2001 and look how good that turned out for both parties :o

    Raines, Staker, Buchanan and X Clarke are all list cloggers.

    Imagine if Internet Footy Forums banned the use of the words 'hack' and 'absolute gun'....posts would plummet.

    X Clarke can play good footy as a running utility but has been cruelled with injuries which have prevented him from stringing games together. He comes cheap and if he can get fit will give the depth across half back, midfield and half forward. Voss knows that the likes of Brown, Black, Power and Fevola (if they get him) do not have too many years left and is loading up wth recycled experience to try and get a flag before they go. If they pull it off he is a genious. If they don't then it'll be a bit of a struggle as the veterans retire and they miss the young talent they could have added to the list if they hadn't recycled.

    Wow. That must be the one of biggest falls from grace....pick 5 in "the" superdraft to pick 60 in a shallow draft.

    Anyway did this really need its own thread???

    There is a "confirmed trades" thread though....I didnt think a trade as insignificant as this needed its own

    So what else would they have done with the draft picks? Let them pass and keep their existing worst four or so on their list who were definitely not AFL standard. Good insight.

    Voss will want Buchanan up forward at the feet of Brown & Bradshaw (or Fev), he might be very handy. They obviously know their list well and think they are at their 'window' by these top ups; with the shallow draft, they need players that have played at AFL level, not ones that will be ready in 3-4 years time when Brown is near finished.

    Buchy played a similar sort of role for the falcons.

    I remember in the TAC Cup grand final before he was drafted he got best on ground, kicking something like 9 or 10 goals, playing as a small forward out of the goal square.

    A bit like Gary Ablett Jr when he first started.

    • 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.
