Daniel Wells

Notice that a once target of the MFC in trade week a few years back in Daniel Wells is out of contract after these remaining 5 games.

Do you think the club would entertain a trade for him? Do we need him? i don't think we do, but would be interested to hear what people have to say- usually players like that who have a lot of talent but haven't quite lived up to it perform well in a different environment

 

Nah, let him go to GC17.

Really, it depends on what he costs.

I think I'd struggle to find room for him in the side anyway.

 

why does this over rated, soft receiver always get linked to melbourne when he comes out of contract :huh:

Not a fan, [censored]? If he gets his mind right, Daniel Wells could be a top tier player. But I don't think we should trade for him, though.


Someone please tell me he barracked for Melbourne as a kid :)

rof :):):)

hell didnt everyone apparently ???

Pass on Wells...

we have others

Not worth chasing and lets me down in supercoach every year

 

he is injured to many times really

just injuries let him down

Whoa. Big comparison. :D

Wells would be a good target if he came super cheap. Wouldn't want to give up much though.

Daniel Bell didn't make it because he is an average player, not injuries

Its ludicrous.

Given our midfield stocks and our difficulty to find players to readily off load of our list, why would we chase a 8yr player who has promised alot but failed to deliver on the talent? Hw wont come cheap and offer little to our existing arrangements.

No.

Talented in the sense of being skilled in a non-competitive environment.

Does not have the temperament, nor the drive.

Besides which, we have mids to burn (most of whom I prefer at any price to Wells.)

Be a good pickup if we were close and had a deficiency on outside mids. In fact, I reckon he might find himself at a Collingwood/Carton.

Not for me. More youth please and let others trade away good picks for unrealised talent.

Its ludicrous.

Exactly. I'd rather develop those we already have who show as much promise as Wells does now.

the upside is they have either played a few games (Gys, Strauss) or not at all blease, on top of Scully, Trengove, McKenzie

good player but as it's been said he's prone to injury...not sure i'd like to rely upon him to be fit for melb to win a flag.

why does this over rated, soft receiver always get linked to melbourne when he comes out of contract :huh:

When we played them earlier this year and teh game was there to be won at the start of the 4th quarter Scott through Wells into the center and he did some great clearance work and willed his side to win. I think he would be better he in a better side, but injuries ahve stopped him from performing at his peak


Wells - not for me. Reminds me a bit of Shaun Burgoyne last year, injury prone and getting on a bit so he really doesn't suit. He would be ok for the Gold Coast where they need players with experience.

From our POV every player the GC Suns take elsewhere means one less target at Melbourne.

I think we might just have enough small forwards and mifielders on our list...

Be 'bad business' to have our host of kids feeling like they aren't being given a decent shake at playing AFL level.

More than that, we're gonna be riding the wave on the salary cap for ten years - really important that we don't do anything that would inflate our payments and player's expectations early.

For mine, no trades in at all for a few years. The Demons are built, not bought.

Its a NO from me

His biggest weakness is his work ethic

Probably why he hasnt reached his potential over the years

  • 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.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
