Who should we pick up?

how could anyone actually want to get Gumbleton.

He is a joke.

 

I don't know if he's been mentioned but given that Geelong appears to be showing interest in some of our players why not consider someone like Mitch Brown who has been there for four years and hasn't become a regular with the likes of Hawkins, Podsiadly and now Walker ahead of him?

I started a Josh Walker Thread after watching some TAC games a couple of years ago, was surprised to see him go as a rookie. He was exactly what we needed but what do I know about footy.

I get amused by all the potential trades thrown up revolving around crud players getting traded back to their home state.

There's this strange assumption that interstate clubs will happily take spuds onto their list so they can play at home.

Guys like Petterd need to go to whatever club will have them, because there's not a great demand, if there is any at all.

 

There is no way in hell, that I trade Tappscott!

His apatite for the contest and grunt work of the ball is what this club is crying out for..... If anything I would recruit more like him....

We are about to lose Moloney and people want to trade the only other player on our list with a bit of grunt..... Far out....

Grunt work and hardest is good, but you need to get the ball more than 10 times a game to be of any use imo.

I like tappy, and whilst i agree he needs to find the ball more often, hes a good player and is a long terrm prospect for us


Tapscott is still developing his game, he's young.... He'll be a better player than Moloney, when he's at his peck..... He's got the hardness and the grunt that Moloney has + he dose the 1% and his kicking skills are great.... He'll get more of the ball, as he and the team get better ...

He's a definite keeper for me ...

He also happens to be the best mate of one of our captains ...

Mitch Brown has had 4 years at the Cattery and for a #15 1st round pick has shown nought. Still skinny arms and shoulders "heavily strapped". Would be a Lucas Cook with 2 extra years. a big "pass" (aka NO) from me.

agree ... he gets injured getting out of bed. WHY ??? injured riddled. John Meesen mark 2. (NO WAY JOSE)

Tapscott offers more than stats. Hardness, physical intimidation, good skills, no shortcuts. He busts a gut. One to keep.

There really arent many players i want, only a couple..

Sharrod Wellingham

Chris Knights

Josh Caddy

Brendon Goddard

Travis Cloke

there are a couple of others that are good

Gysberts for jetta!

Ps, I can already see moloney in the red and white. He will dominate.

In answer to the OP's question:

Steve Salopek from Port Adelaide.

Rookie or Pre season draft.

  • Author

there is potential with Salopek


If he is delisted you won't have to use a draft pick on him.

  • Author

yeah youre right, but i doubt Salopek will be delisted?

yeah youre right, but i doubt Salopek will be delisted?

Would have to be a chance.

Pretty sure Salopek is a Free Agent....

Spot on. First played in 2003.

Clinton Young would be an amazing pickup, i said that even before a month ago.

we should offer him 4 years, 300k a year.. its worth it

Clinton Young would be an amazing pickup, i said that even before a month ago.

Not sure about amazing but hopefully he will be a good get IF we can get him. At this stage I think it is highly unlikely we will win many "raids" as the climate seems to be very few players leaving established top 8/contending sides especially for MFC at this stage disappointingly.

 

All these below are options and we can't or wont take them all but consideration for me is on good ball users, some talls and players with decent size no more skinny kids after seeing Sydney, Adelaide, Pies, Hawks and others show the advantages when it counts in finals

Andy Otten was very good for Adelaide yesterday ball use was what we need and targetting him is what Swans do by targetting a payer that is on the fringe but has good quality

Chris Knights another Crow I like who has proven himself at AFL level

Gumbleton - Bombers have to many talls and now they found the bone spurr as the cause of his back problems he has put games together

Ben Jacobs - shown some good signs in his time at Port and if he wants to go back to Victoria good option

Caddy - shown glimpses and has by all accounts a few clubs chasing him but what is he worth

Draft

Mids with potential body size and tanks Viney, Toumpas, O'Rourke, Wines

Forwards - MD trade one of our picks to get Hogan but if not Mason Shaw good young kid fro South Fremantle good size and can take a grab, kicked 5 today in Colts GF and continually ran to present leads,

Small Forwards - Dayle Garlett is highly spoken of but would not use a first round pick on him, have not seen Ben Kennedy or Tim Membrey but he will move up the order after today

Recycled Players

Tom Lee - good thrid tall option up forward, Mark Hutchings - finished 2nd to Kane Mitchell in the Sandover medal but uses the ball better

So with that would not mind

Otten, Knights, Jacobs, Toumpas, O'Rourke or Hogan MD, Membrey, Viney, Tom Lee and add another high profile recruit

If Picks 3, 4, 13, Viney, and FA comp pick bring in 5 players, I am more than happy to get 3 or 4 of Byrnes, Otten, Jacobs, any WAFL/VFL pros.

  • 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 Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"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 Collingwood’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.

  • 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 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.
