C'mon Barry P. and co, get on the blower to the managers of these top 10 GWS picks - nearly all of whom were from Victoria - and let them know we're interested in all of them.

Might be hot air, might not be. At the very least it'll sow some seeds of doubt in the minds of these kids and get them thinking that there are better prospects for them elsewhere at the end of their first contract. Who knows who we might shake from the tree after the disenchantment of two years worth of thrashings.

GW$ is now fair game on every front.

    I reckon its a great idea to be in these guys ears, the amount of mids GWS have got is crazy, they surely cant fit them all in, and im sure a few will be after more opportunity and want to come home! have a look at this list !! they cant play them all

    its payback time in a couple of years!!

    It would give me great pleasure to rape the GWS list in 2 years time. They deserve nothing less!

    I like the idea. But is it allowed? Can a person employed by or working on behalf of a club talk to another club's players at any time? (I know there was a 'window' for GWS in November 2010 to do something...was that discuss or actually offer contracts?)

    We will be.

    And so will every other club.

    In fact they might be in danger at the end of 2012 as they will have OOC players...

    I think we will pick up ex Dee James McDonald as an assistant or development coach.

    You don't honestly think Gomez and his puppets will allow anyone to touch his brain snap do you?

    Angry Anderson will change the rules to suit GWS, mark my words.

    GWS will not be touched for years.

    I think GWS have made a huge mistake with their recruiting.

    They're going to get thrashed!

    And in order to keep the team together they're going to need great leadership. Where is that going to come from?

    GC at least recruited seasoned players that not only would make them more competitive but gave them leadership.

    GWS players may be scrambling to get out of there in a few years time. They may just fall into our lap. Or here's hoping anyway.

    That's all well and good, but then we're gonna possibly have our own problems with the cap in a few years time when our kids develop more. Throw in Viney plus another 2 quality kids from next years' draft (better talent compared to the one just passed) and we're gonna have to be careful with our own backyard before we start poaching.

    If it came down to raiding another clubs kids or keeping our own (hopefully all of Viney + 2x compo pick players become great MFC players), i'd take the latter, as they would have come from a stronger draft.

    Let other clubs tear GWS and to a certain extent GC a new one, whilst we just sit back and enjoy it all, keeping all our talent and cap in tact.

    Welcome back RR, nice to see you revving up agagin :) Think you're dead on there, and I'd like to think that the club are onto it, if not now soon. Would be the greatest pleasure to see us strip some of their gifted talent!

    Thank you. It's good to be back!

    Whether it's us or any other club, I just hope that every effort is made to destabilize the GW$ playing list.

    If our club were fair dinkum, this would already have been done a few months ago by our recruiters.

    • 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.
