Four went prematurely to other clubs

Four went prematurely to other clubs

Yep, but of those, only 3 walked or were traded. Buckley was let go and was given a lifeline.

Of those three, one was a blessing, as he's now been delisted by the Blues. Leaving two.

Of those two, one got us pick #11 and Gysberts, who looks a player. And Brock's not set the world on fire (still could though).

Which leaves only Bruce, who has at most 2 years left.

My point being, if you're going to lose players, this is the way to do it.

For a little taste of something different here. I just watched Mike Vick (yes, the dog killer) have an absolutely massive game for the Eagles against bitter rivals the Redskins in the NFL. The year before, the Eagles traded the best QB they'd ever had away (Donovan McNabb), more-or-less in his prime, for a second round pick. McNabb was traded to the Redskins, and had just a day ago signed for a 40-75 million dollar contract for five years, indicating he's still got a LOT of great footy to play. It was a risky choice as the two players they had left were his backups. Vick has come on to be one of the top 5 QBs in the game, and one of its most entertaining and damaging, while their trade has gone on to frustrate and was just yesterday humiliated by his old side, despite throwing for nearly 300 yards.

It's great when a club holds on to its champions til they retire.... but the simple fact is, trading a good player who is still ok, but is on a slow decline, is the most beneficial way to do things. Always turning over your list... There's a strong indication that the club, under Bailey and its board, has taken a far more "professional" route. I hope they'll follow the fortunes of Philly, who went from being a basket case to what is now one of the powerhouses of the NFL.

Delisted I believe. Maybe wrong tho...

  • 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 Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"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 Collingwoodโ€™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.ย

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
