This guy can play serious footy. A risk?.....Yes, but I would be willing to offload our mid round compensation pick for him.

    We're not that shallow. How about that Youtube highlight package?

    The guys gonna turn it all around and become an AFL Finals player. Not. Forget him.

    If you want to take a risk take Fev, He can mark, kick and hit the scoreboard. Otherwise we'd be better getting Leroy b'Brown to pull on the Blades.

    What's disappointing is the ease at which we could've picked Butcher, Darling or Sam Reid in the draft, and now some are prepared to trade a really important MFC player and clubman for one of those guys - indeed someone potentially inferior to those guys.

    It's not like we didn't know we needed such a player in those drafts. I really hope we backed the right horse with Cook.

    Neeld strikes me as a guy who will actually instil and command discipline. Perhaps Fev is therefore the man to target. He does kick goals. That's a science fact.

    Did I hear the words Science and Fevola used in the same post. Surely not !

    I was being a tad sarcastic. Gumbleton no doubt has serious talent but if Essendon were willing to let him go then alarm bells would ring for me.

    Butcher was never an option as he was not a top two pick (Scully/Trengove). If he was available at our next pick I am sure we would have picked him but no great loss as he has played 3 good games so far in two years. By that reckoning Cook has until this time next year to show something.

    Its not up to Neeld to instil and command discipline in the individual. Its the individual himself.

    Fev is not the person to target! Any chance behavioural sciences provides some facts.

    Its not about taking a risk it finding the right player and Fev is not the answer.

    Definitely agree. If he gets his body right then he will be a great asset but for essendon to shop him around means that they can't or don't want to try a fix his problems. Only reason to trade for him is if he wants to leave.

    I was surprised to discover that he didn't play a single game this year. That and only 20 games in five seasons would mean that his value would have to be set very low.

    In light of this, I'd stay away and possibly explore whether we could get Lachlan Hansen if we're going to go down that track anyway.

    I wouldnt trade Jones for him.

    Gumbleton highlight reel shows he can play

    Gumbleton is always injured

    Would rather Jordan Lisle from the hawks than both Gumbelton and Hansen.

    196cm 93kg 2008 draftee. He will not get a game with Franklin, Roughead and Hale in the side.

    You know what the biggest problem with that is? It means that he is the 4th player in line and obviously not what you would consider a top line player. I just don't think we should lower our sights and look for players not good enough to get a game elsewhere.

    If we are going to trade i would like to think we were going to look for someone that a club would be unhappy, to lose not anxious to trade.

    Yeah but who is keeping him at 4th position? Franklin, Roughead and Hale. All 3 would be best 22 at our club.

    He is only 21 years old, His best years are all in front of him. He is playing good football at VFL and wouldn't cost us the world.

    Hawks have not offered him for trade but rumor is a few clubs have inquired about him apparently.

    It's moot because he ha family connections at North and that's why he wants to leave.

    I don't xare if we get fev or Not. But we do that already mature Tall marking forward who'll crash packs.

    I'd be happy to have Leroy do it.

    Or a Hall type, Cornes would have been handy to hold the spot and assist our other kids onfield with blocks and experience/leadership. Someone cheap, as we have some good kids, So we can spend on our Midfield woes.

    • 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

    • 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.
