I thought Hale was doing okay for Hawthorn.

Yeah he is. But Martin is playing the same role, is more versatile and we didn't have to give up our 2nd round (Howe) pick for him.

Couldn't believe it when in his first match he was brought in to stop an in form Johnathon Brown. I do admit I lost faith last year after all his injuries kept him out. Had him down for a certain de-listing at the end of the year. Glad to be wrong.

    Yep, Stef Martin is quickly coming of age. Loved the starting 18 with him up forward. His ruck work is good, his flexibility is full of potential, he is amazingly quick and is quickly becoming a reliable mark.

    At some stage in 2012 I am looking forward to Jamar, Martin and Gawn all being in the starting 22.

    .

    Well said. Wholeheartedly agree.

    Gawn is coming along very nicely at Casey, and in my opinion will play a few games towards the end of the year. He is a very skilled tap ruckman in the Jamar mould, and is very mobile for such a big person, and is developing his marking and round the ground work.

    I wouldn't be surprised if when all three play that they don't have the Russian play mostly as a tall marking forward, and Max Gawn would do most of the ruck work. It is an exciting prospect and may point to the setup when we are in our premiership window. It would also prolong Mark Jamar's career. Needs more kicking for goal practice though....

    I liked the promise he showed early in his career. Then came the injuries, then last years pre-season I watched him drop marks and look completely unco and pretty much put a line through him.

    He's been the big improver so far, very happy with his agility and he puts in an honest contest to relieve Jamar.

    Seems to be someone come from nowhere each year.

    After what Jamar has done, it gives me hope than anyone can suddenly click and get moving. Stef is on his way, I wonder if Newton can do the same?

    Great point about his agility. he actually bends down for the ball and can play many positions. A great improver. I used to be mortified when Jamar came off - not so worried now, and allows Jamar to take the odd speckie down forward.(If only he could kick a bit straighter)

    Definitely didn't see this coming at the start of the year.

    He could easily slot into the full time role if the worst happened. He wouldn't be Jamar, but how busy he is around the ground would hold him in good stead. I still don't like him forward, and I reckon we'll get exposed if he stays there, like we were in the first quarter on Sunday... but everywhere else he's awesome. Can't believe a ruckman can dodge, then bend down to touch the ball on the ground and kick long and accurately to space like he did on the last play of the day...

    I'm very surprised. But pleasantly so.

    • 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.

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.

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
