Weve got picks 1 & 2.. now all but Daisy the cow and Drongo Dave seem to agree that this will be Scully and Trengove or at worst Trengove and Scully !!

If we were to say hypothetically pick up the Ball ( yes, intended ;):lol: ) at the PSD then , and if we can harness the force...we'll have Ball, Scully and Trengove..ably assisted by the likes of Grimes, Morton, Jones and Moloney with Blease and Strauss still to come.

Its just mind-boggling how all but overnight how much sharper, quicker and skilled that midfield becomes.

some blokes are really going to have to train and play their guts out if they want to press for this new Melbourne...great isnt it :)

oh..btw...put it in the drafting sides of things..as none of those three are actually here yet !! ;):rolleyes:

    good names but not elite players at the end of the day...

    a somewhat damning prophecy :huh: ...based on ?

    what about adding jack watts to your hypothetical?

    he's my perfect example of a good name but not an elite player...

    I said good names but elite players because your listed players would struggle to get a game for the cats...i see the cats as the bench mark for the comp.

    but i agree...some blokes will need to train harder than ever this year for there spot...i would say the pressure will be on jamar...wit more experienced spencer and hopefully an injury free meesen chasing for the number 1 ruck spot...some healthy comp never hurt anyone :rolleyes:

    is he playing in the midfield any time soon ? :rolleyes:

    My hypothesis is particular to the look and shape of it ( the midfield )

    Any corelation to the Cats is pointless. My point is that the midfield, OUR midfield will take on a completely different look next year. A lot quicker and skilled. The decision making ought to take a couple of big strides upwards.

    You do make a good point re rucking. ..almost a competition with one as to who gets the lollies there. and thats a healthy thing.

    • 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.
