Had a very up and down season this year. Not playing anywhere near the way that had him playing in the International Series a couple of years ago where he was one of the next up and coming youngsters to watch out for.

Goes missing in games for long periods.

I would say no but....If Vossy wants him gone, he probably has some value!

In all seriousness, It would be worth considering...112 games, 85 goals, 23 years of age

no real injuries, solid body.

I wouldn't give much up for him, but if he's out the door than why not.

Anyone have much of a scouting report on him?

To me, we have solid bodies and athletic bodies, but not enough solid and athletic guys. Can Sherman run?

A line breaker, and I like him for that reason ..... but his price tag is likely to be more than I would be comfortable with.

A line-breaker that gets run down by PJ..?

And where would we play him?

I think he believes he is worth a lot more than he actually is.

Would be a good fit with Essendon maybe.

Didn't realise that he was the one that PJ caught. I just changed my view of him!

I believe he was coming off a broken leg (or something like that) at the point in time. For 12 months post that sort of injury players tend to be down on their abilities and he was in that category at the time.

Sherman is not a star, stars tend to perform even when injured, but is still good. His season before the leg and last year were impressive. Reminds me a little of pettard. Does not seem that great but gee he can make a difference, he just does good things.

If you believe Alistair Lynch he is a confidence player that performs well when things are going well for him, into that I read front-runner.

Has talent but would given our track record I would be amazed if we gave him a second thought.

Agreed.

Has speed but is liable to poor decision making under pressure.

No thanks.

I do not watch enough Brissie games to give an accurate assessment of Sherman, but from what I have seen he has failed to impress.

Do we really need to tinker to the point where we are taking on players that may not be a part of our best 22?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
