Clinton Young

It would really make me happy if we could sign and secure Clinton Young in the red and the blue next year and the years to come. Young's left boot is a real highlight and i know he would fill the gap at Melbourne that Davey used to do, the person where you give the ball to, so they can hit the target spot on.

Young is a silky left boot, reads the game well and i think with some more hard discpline under Neeld could really star for us. I understand the match he played in the Grand Final wasnt his best one, but neither did Roughead and Cyril Rioli, doesn't mean he isn't a potential gun.

Melbourne could benefit a lot from Young ... and would fit perfectly on our half back flank.

A much better option than Farren Ray. Could play the same role but has better pace and disposal.

also has shown consistency this year in the second half of the year..

 

Would love to get him. Competing with brisbane and gold coast who both apparently have the hots for him.

Has got a good offer from Brisbane. Will likely be heading there next week in trade period or staying at Hawthorn. Source: his family.


Would love to have young play for us next year.... I'd also like to have Ellis as well.... we need both, be nice to get both....

Squibbed it twice in the Grand Final - once in the first qtr right in front of me in the members, and didn't Goodes give it to him. And then the more famous one in the last quarter. No thanks.

Offer him 4 years on 400k, definitely worth it. Young is exactly the player we need, even more do because he comes from such a successful side.

I reckon Melbourne could atleast match or outdo the offer Brisbane have given him

Why would he go during trade period, isn't Young a RFA?


He's still best 22 for the Hawks, would be quite unusual for him to leave.

I spoke to him a couple of years ago and his opinion of Melbourne was that we were an absolute joke and all our players were duds. I doubt his mind has changed enough to leave a club who nearly won a flag to us for a little bit more money.

if he hates us that much... well than maybe not :P

So Brisbane and GCS are a chance? Your kidding me right?

There's another team called Hawthorn as well

If we got Young i'd be very happy, I'd say if Hawthorn were 100% fit he'd more likely be an emergency with them. Moloney should go to Hawthorn because they seem to love Melbourne rejects (Cheney, Bruce, Paul Johnson)

if he hates us thatt much... well than maybe not :P

Is it hate? Thinking back a couple of years, I'd say he was making a pretty accurate assessment of our list.

Really?

After witnessing his paltry efforts in the grand final I would have thought he was the last person to be criticizing another AFL club and it's players.


Clinton Young did the tour of the Westpac centre yesterday & is set to go to the Pies.

Don't know how they'll fit him in their cap though.

AGree

Does anyone have any inside knowledge on whether the MFC has approached Young at all?

I realize we threw the kitchen sink at David Mackay and Wellingham, but as active as we've been this trade period we have not addressed our slow midfield. Young is an 80m player who breaks lines. We are screaming out for someone like this and all it would cost is money. I just can't believe we haven't been linked with him, or did he perhaps turn down our approach?

 

He turned down our approach is what his family told me. Said he'd spoken to multiple interstate teams, had a lot of interest with Brisbane, and has now gone into serious discussions with Collingwood.

  • 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

    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.
