Bruce would not get in my best 22 . Virtually gone IMO- he may even retire before season end.

Wasn't Bruce quoted in an article a few weeks back saying he was keen to play on for a couple of years? He started later as a rookie at arounf age 20 I think so he felt he had a few more seasons left in him. I haven't watched him very closely buy with a our youth focus it seems to make more sense to give gametime to the younger guys but he must be doing something right to keep getting a game.

 

Cam Bruce is going to be around forever. He's that kind of player. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still here when he's 34. Massive endurance, light frame, good preparation all adds up to a long-lived player. Same with Cale Morton. He'll still be playing at Melbourne in 2025!

Strauss, when he gets a game on other merits. Meanwhile probably Davey.

 

What makes Strauss an effective kick is not just his accuracy and penetration but the trajectory is flat

Daniel Rich is also another youngster that has this kicking skill

Its extemely hard to counter and much better than say a booming kick like benny graham could do

Bombing the footy has no place in the backline IMO

Let's see who gets the chocolates ...

All we need is a guy who can kick ACCURATELY over a distance of 190 metres! Imagine, every time the opposition kicked a behind, we would respond with a GOAL! We would have kicked no fewer than 32 goals on Monday if this bloke had played. Is a man with a bionic leg allowed to play? What a recruit he would be. One can always dream can't they? Great effort Dees. Go Dees Go!!!!!


Anyone who can kick long and accurately (Grimes, Strauss, Davey), and tell them after a score they have three seconds to pick it up and kick it to a teammate

Exactly. I think part of the problem is that they have to work it out amongst themselves before anything happens. Whoever os closest should just get the bloody ball moving!! I've harped on about this before, but I dont think ive ever seen anyone worse at kick ins than us over about 20 years! We have always been terrible at 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

    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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
