Kerr and Cox

I'd easily consider Cox. However, I think I'd be outbid by other clubs in a flash, given the moderate price I'd only be prepared to pay.

    did hear someone from the club say that the dees are going to go for a big high profile player this year..

    Unfortunately all of the big high profile names have commited to their clubs with GC coming in. Not sure what I would want to give up to lure such a player....

    I don't think he'd suit us, as he IMO, needs to be the No 1 ruck, to be in-form, & he's carrying ankles, I believe.

    I am open to it, depends on how cheap the MFC can get them.

    I'd be open to Kerr. For all his off field antics and injury problems he's a gun. Head says no but heart says 'just do it anyway'! Can't see the club sharing my enthusiasm.

    Cox is too old and I think this year has shown that he's better as a number 1 ruck in the game all the time than used forward/bench and sparingly in the ruck. Sure he's a solid back up but Jamar should be in better form than Cox for the rest of Cox's career and I think we should be looking to develop a second ruck with complementary attributes rather than paying top dollar for an ageing and slowing star.

    When I started this thread I expected these negative responses to the 1st question... and I agree that the MFC should/would say no to trading for either player... unless the trade was heavily stacked in our favour(2nd or 3rd round pick). Remember Cox would only be competing with PJ (who was considered finished 3 weeks ago) or Spencer (who I don't think will ever make it but needs 2 more years to say for sure) for the 2nd ruck position. At 29 Cox would be perfect for 2-3 years backing up Jamar until Gawn develops. Kerr would be competing with Jones/Moloney/McKenzie and maybe Junior (if he goes on) in the engine room. He has better skills than all of those players when fully fit but it would disrupt the team harmony if it forced 1 of these players out of the side.

    On the 2nd question about trade value... I think Hawks would definitely trade an early pick and/or player to get Cox as no. 1 ruck while their premiership window is open. Essendon could do with him as no. 1 ruck to release Hille up forward and Ryder down back.

    Brisbane might as well trade an early pick for Kerr because Vossie has gambled on mature players this year and is stuck with Fev and co for the next 2 or 3 years... Black/Power/Brown are all getting old and getting more injuries. Its probably too late to turn around now and go for youth. Sydney have turned plenty of troubled players around before and will need a midfielder to replace Kirk. Adelaide are supposed to be losing Scott Thompson back to Victoria so they might want a similar midfield type in Kerr.

    • 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

      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.
