Someone else already in the team could perform the same role, but he could play in a BP.

I'm just saying it's possible.

Who do you think could fill that role? I can't think of anyone, unfortunately (it's why I'd like us to look at a small defender somewhere in the draft).

EDIT: Just read above - some of these guys have been a bit harsh on you E25! ;)

    what about, grimes, bartram, strauss, cheney, garland and frawley can both play on a smaller forward and, bail and bennell can both play small defender, cameron bruce has been playing in the backline?

    i think that is an area we have covered

    Blease. Clean Hands, looks a good kick and lethal pace. Hell yes.

    I looking forward to seeing Tappscott Debut most of all.

    I reckon Blease will be an Important player for us.

    tapscott by far! our chapman, hard at hit, agressive and good skills, can play midfield or forward. he likes to get in opponents faces, doesn't take any crap, exactly what our team needs more of

    Grimes doesn't play on the Milne-types, and even if he could he'd be wasted there.

    Bartram is the guy we're talking about replacing, so I'm not sure what's going on there :P

    I'm not sure Strauss has the pace or the smarts required.

    Cheney is too slow for the role and it's not surprising we sent him off to the Hawks for virtually nothing.

    If Bruce has ever played on the types Bartram is required to take he's long past it now, and at 31 years old he's not exactly the right age either.

    One of Garland and Frawley could play this role at times but they're generally needed elsewhere.

    Bennell's looked far too loose in the backline, which is probably a big part of why we moved him up forward and kept him there for most of the second half of the season. He has the pace, but I'm not sure whether he has the defensive discipline/smarts.

    Bail's really the only one of the lot. His strength is endurance running and he has looked best as a linkman IMO, but it's feasible. I'm not sure he's even played the role much at VFL level though, so it's pretty speculative.

    In summary, the potentials are trying to remould Bail, or go back to a guy - Bennell - who has been tried and failed (albeit still early on in his career). Not a hugely exciting list.

    I agree and the last person whom played on Milne was Frawley-I think.

    Blease yet to be tried. Could fill this role perfekly!

    In couldn't agree more. He will be as important to us as Sandilands is to Freo. The thought of having Gawn in full flight with Jamar playing high marking forward and second ruck will be devastating in my opinion, and a crucial part of our 2014 premiuership setup IMO

    the prospect of the russian working as back up ruckman come forward is knee trembling. otherwise fitzy for me and if stef martin can find his groove?

    • 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.
