As Luke Ball is going to nominate for the National draft and has met both Malthouse and Buckley but not bothered to meet anyone from MFC is clearly not interested in playing for MFC and as DB noted on SEN it would be a very short conversation.

Hopefully MFC has already moved on and as they are up in Alice Springs area this week DB and Bary P should be putting all effort into securing Jurrah mark 2!!!!! "Lajamanu Lightning Bolt" as reported in the HUN today is Liam's cousin and some say an even better prospect! As comes fromsouth of Darwin, Aaron no doubt will be working on him also!

    I agree, forget Ball and let's move on.

    It would be great to pick up Jurrahcane's cousin and word is we are showing a lot of interest in Jack Grimes' brother as well. Hopefully we can get these guys with 34 and 50.

    What still needs to be done though is to finalise our delistings, so we can use our picks. I think this has to happen by 2pm this Friday.

    I agree, and what better place for Liam to come than with his cousin at Melbourne.

    If he plays a similar role to Jurrah and is as good as is being reported, I would put them both in the forward line.

    St Kilda couldn't stop one Liam, I would like to see the other clubs try and stop two.

    maybe put them on either flank with total licence. The prospect would send shivers up other's !! :lol:

    Just let them play wherever they want. These guys don't need coaching. They merely find the ball.

    Bailey could just sit back & enjoy the ride along with all our supporters.

    imagine a Jurrah 2, along with all our other indiginous players....I gotta sit down!!!

    It might look like that but I remember one of Liam's coaches arcing up last year when Brian Taylor was rabbitting on about how Melbourne should not coach him. The point the NT coach made was that of course these blokes are coached and have been all their time playing football.

    It's our cultural blinkers that make us think they aren't coached.

    Fair Point, but i still say one should not Retard these boys from playing with all their natural Talents.

    Maybe that is a better way of saying it.

    Coach them during the week & on the Weekend just let them loose to weave their magic.

    i agree with the title heading, lets get Usain Bolt as an international rookie... imagine him flying down the wing, or on the lead...

    His disposal is questionnable, and he has tunnel vision. No peripheral.

    Liam Patrick is a great player, very fast and possesses a phenomenal leap, perhaps even out doing LJ in that regard, if that's possible. However, his overall skills lack the silk of LJ. Overall, he' be a great pick up. Seems the Hawks are also interested in drafting him. His chances of succeeding in the AFL, however, would be far better at Melbourne where his cousin is located. Here's hoping.

    • 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.
