This reply about Dunn gave me a chuckle.

He is AA but I honestly think that our recruiting resources should focus on what we need, and thats Mids Mids and maybe a link up player.

I really do not think its worth the effort having meetings and trying to negotiate for out of contract defenders. Our defense is fine, especially now with young Tom Mac

Agree that mids are our most pressing need, but it doesn't mean we can't improve other areas too... I'm sure we can get more than one trade done if we need to

    Really? That's our criteria is it?

    Great player, wouldn't want to pay overs for him, but it'd free up Garland to stay forward which might be an option if there's no go with Cloke.

    People are a bit too wishful with the trades they're expecting and far too dismissive of what we are actually capable of getting.

    He is far from a great player.

    He doesn't defend for a start.

    And his kick it long to nothing style would fit right in with us. I'd rather see less of that, not more.

    Another example of a Collingwood player being overrated, because he plays for Collingwood.

    There's a reason knowledgeable Pies fans would rather O'brien be squeazed out before anyone else.

    Just as a side issue.... anyone see the irony of a player like Harry O'Brien leaving to go to another club because of money? with his selfless, non-materialistic lifestyle?

    I can't see it happening, the Pies are gonna be stuck with him until they force him out ;)

    And is a premiership player and an all-australian...

    Would love Harry O'brien at the Dees love his dash of Half Back, would enable Grimes to Play more in the middle. Not sure whats happening with the Cloke saga if he definatley did not want to come to us he would of signed, i reckon they thinking hard about 6-7 year deal.

    Beams has been at a club that has the money and therefore coaching staff and facilities etc. to develop young players quite well, something Melbourne hasn't been doing too well. The fact that he has already been developed by a club like Collingwood makes him much more valuable. He's only 22 and would be a perfect addition to our midfield. To be perfectly honest I would much rather pay the money for him than Cloke at the moment. With Beams and Viney teaming up in the middle along with other's like Trengove, Jones and even Grimes and McKenzie, we would have an extremely bright looking midfield. But of course Beams is going to be one of the last players Collingwood would let go, Eddie will start trying to declare war on us and we'll never hear the end of it.

    the way we are going Harry O would be too busy defending and not running off half back. FWIW when he has to defend I don't think he does a great job.

    With beams signing or close to it with pies how the hell are they going to get cloke to his 7-9 hundred thousand a year?

    • 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.
