Although slow, he can lay a tackle ( defensive pressure in our fwd 50 has been non-existent). Might be a good idea to give him a rest in the pocket here and there?

I reckon we should pick him up with a rookie pick.

Nah, inside is where he plays best for me. Struggled up forward, get him back in the guts.

He was much better when feeding the ball out of congestion, as a defensive forward he looked lost IMO.


Yeah as has been said, he played the second half of the season to limited success. Although he is relatively competent over head, he just lacks any quick sideways movement so isn't dangerous as a small forward. Love his hunger and intensity he just needs to gain some pace and agility if he is to be part of this side moving forward

He is a good hard player wiith a strong player. Give him a full pre season with a good understanding of what it takes to train at this level and then judge him. every player that makes the afl has talent, you just have to work hard to be a player.

I think (hoping) that neeld gave him some roles this year to get a feel of the game and will unleash him into the midfield next season. If this isn't the case I'm really not sure why he drafted him. He's hard and a clearance machine.

 

Just needs another preseason....has a great attitude, and tough as nails.

Another one to make a difference next year.

He was at his best early in the season as a strong bodied mid: Neeld may have 'sacrificed' his game a bit by trying him elsewhere, in what after all was an experimental season.

One shouldn't be surprised to see him back in the midfield after another strong body building preseason.


Should only play where his toes are at risk of being butted out by size 16 ruckman boots.

I will discuss. Had him in my supercoach all season. Kept him because because he was there. To be respectful the guy has all the heart in the world but is out of his depth He tried his outmost. Already have Mackenzie. Got to be a limit especially if we want to head north on the ladder.

possible Mono. he did play forward and seemed to struggle.

spot on Pates


I think his time would be better spent in the role he played in his first few games when he was getting 30+ possesions, who cares if a few of those are a bit wayward? yes he is a decent tagger but he is a better ball getter!

Never understood why he was taken out of the middle, seeing him play forward was just weird.

Possibly a part of the Neeld assessment year - to see what role(s) he is and is not capable of filling.

lots of bench warming to come but a handy player.

apparently Neeld game him the strap

He went from a ball winning machine in the first 2 rounds (and the preseason) to a defensive midfielder/forward to a sub and then to out of the team. I think Neeld definitely made a mistake in where he placed him. Should've freed him up a lot more


Deserves another crack but looked lost in the second half of the season and was found seriously wanting in terms of skill level required.

With injection of midfield class from draft and a trade or two I can't see him playing too many senior games next season.

 

To slow and skills not up to it.

Who could forget his hopelessly inept effort in being 30 metres out from goal on a set shot and ... failing to make the distance!

Yes hard as nails but in this quickening game lack of pace and skills are telling! A poor man's Valenti and look where he is now!

That was actually a goal. Too bad the third umpire left his courage in the carpark (to coin a phrase).

  • 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.
