    Portman when she shaves her head in V.....giddy up!

    I also think she is awesome in Garden State.

    Got Sin City, but Alba whilst very attractive, just blends in with all the other blonde girls and does not stand out amongst them.

    Now Scarlett Johansson is a different story :P

    I'd love Riewoldt but our backline would be terrible without Frawley. Both guns and better than Gumbleton, Hansen, Brown *2, Reid, Thorp and other talls at this stage from the first round of that super draft, but it is a long way to the finish line.

    Looking at Riewoldt I think we can see how quickly forwards can improve when they get some size and confidence in their bodies. Last year Riewoldt just casually led and barely chased, we even played Bartram on him. This year he has confidence to demand the footy and is kicking goals. Hopefully Watts can start to do this over time.

    Um...Geelong?

    Compare their forward line to their backline.

    good point...but geelong has mids...steve j...kicked most goals for cats last year and played less games than cam m...geelong are a fantastic 'team' they know how each other play together. bomber has been quoted as saying mooney is one of his most important players...because if he doesn't fire it puts a lot of pressure on the team to kick a winning score.

    doesn't matter if your a defender...you are kicking the ball forward...so everyeone is really a forward.

    in melbournes instance...we have a young side.. bails talks about getting games into these young players...put 50-100 games into our young players then it doesn't really matter where they play...because thats experience. experience is something the cats have a lot of....they have a week forward line compared to previous super sides like the hawks in the 80s having dunstall. imagine if Lloydd played in the cats side for the past 5 years...he could have been one of the greatest full forwards of all time.

    my inital argument was i didn't agree with defense wins premerships...that's all..

    serious...?

    most goals/points win i say...football is a simple game stuffed up by footballers...learn that.

    I've seen average forward lines in premiership teams. When was the last time a premiership side had an average backline?

    Damn straight.

    I love these draft threads. They are both great picks in my opinion, and I am sure most supporters would be happy to have either one in their team.

    Personally, I think Riewoldt is the more talented player but I think Chip ended up being a better pick. Chip is one of the best young defenders in the competition, and its great that he is showing loyalty to the team that selected him by signing the dotted line for 4 year instead of chasing money from GC17/GWS. (I do not know Riewoldt's contract situation, so have NFI if he has re-signed)

    With the impending free agency, loyal players will be a factor for all clubs. With all the money and time spent developing young players, it would be a real kick in the guts to see them walk out for more lucrative contracts and for the club to get zero return.

    Frawley... we took what we needed..and he is still getting better...maybe too Jack.. but its Chpper for me.

    ( on a side note...consider how average Jack wasuntil now... ...makes you think of another young Jack playing as a forward !!! No?? :) )

    p.s

    I would still go with chip but jack is a gun!!!

    Same. Both look very good at their respective ends of the ground but Frawley looks to be a leader and stable influence while Riewodlt looks to be a Richo style personality. A flawed superstar.

    Reiwoldt is another Robbo. NOw, I have never had a problem with Robbo, but many here did so I wonder how they look at this. He is the only forward they have at the moment, hence his big hauls. However, the team would be far better off with a couple of real key forwards for him to work off.

  • Quote

    If Riewoldt could kick straight I'd be more interested in this discussion :P

    As for Frawley getting beaten by him, wasn't there a rumour he might be a late withdrawl due to sickness?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
