When I think of needs for the Dees, I think of a need for pace. Our midfield is too stagnant against opposition and we get carved up in the middle. Scully will provide some pace relief assistance, of which I'm sure the likes of Blease and perhaps Trengove can assist. Breaking lines is critical in our game. Buckley was one I thought may provide that, but that is no longer.

Pace & foot skills. Saw a guy at the Championships back in winter who took kindly to my eye. From WA, a kid called Colyer provided these attributes. I've found some footage of him to give you an idea. the first couple of minutes are not much chop, and don't do him justice from what I have seen of him. From 2.5 minutes/3 minutes into the clip onwards you will get a better idea. No. 37. See what you think.

I'm inclined to believe he will be gone by pick 34. So perhaps a candidate for pick 18. If we go KP at pick 11 (as best available), I wouldn't mind him at pick 18.

    I agree. I saw him play at the Telstra Dome and he caught my eye too. Small and very quick. He burst out of the centre a couple of times and I can remember once he had three guys chasing him and I think two of them fell over each other trying to catch him. He kicked a point from memory though.

    He made the U18 all Australian squad on the bench.

    I’d be pretty happy with him at 34 if he lasts.

    I'm all for adding more speed into our midfield group, but I think pick 18 will be determained on if Mitch Thorp works out, if he is fit has his head right, he will be a handy tall forward. You add in another with pick 11 that will give us Watts, Jurrah, Thorp, Pick 11 as tall forward options. If he works out a ruckman or a skilled fast midfielder will be the best pick at 18.

    I agree, I'd like colyer on our list as I believe Teams need a few smalls who can weave their way through traffic getting the ball forward & around the full forward line, kicking goals.

    Would love to pick him up, he reminds me of a young boomer harvey

    He looks ordinary from that footage. Very small and a poor kick. Doesn't even look to use his pace that well.

    Not sure about young Boomer Harvey

    look at the score in the first half champ, any kid is going to look ordinary in a wafl league team that is getting absolutely belted like they were

    Like I said in OP, the first couple of minutes don't do him much justice compared to what I have seen of him, it's the only footage I could find of him. I hope you watched all of it, he showed a bit from 3min-6min of link.

    • 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.
