What we just did.

Rodan at his average to best is superior to Bail, who played many games this year, that's who I think he will replace, I think there is room for him if he plays well.

Rodan replacement for Bail - now I've heard it all. Rodan's an explosive talent with poor endurance. Bail's main attribute is his endurance running.

 

Bail also just jumps into oppositions backs.....He gives away just so many frees......I do admire his desperation to get the ball but he must improve in a lot of areas if he is to make it....

Yes - and we got two young guns with pick #4 still to come.............

What did we just do?

We got rid of those that don't train or play to the standard that will push the club to the standard it is required to be at to win a premiership.

We got rid of those that do not possess the build or hunger for the contest required to win a premiership.

We gained experience of players that do know what is required of a premiership.

We gained mature bodies that can withstand the rigours and contests required of a premiership.

Hows it goin all... first time on here.

Im stoked at the changes and Dawesy is the only bloke I didnt hate at Collingwood.

With so many changes its hard to get everything right BUT.... I realise Rivers wanted to leave I just hope that we did everything possible to keep him.

Also I have no idea why we just gave Martin away ???? If Jamar goes down who would you rather Spencer or Martin??

Gawn and Spencer still have a long way to go. I would have thought Martin even as a third choice ruckman he would be beneficial to our list.

I wont miss Morton and Gysberts.

Will miss Bate. Would of loved to of seen him play in a forward line where he would be playing as the third or fourth tall.

I hope Davey and Col Sylvia have good years if so.... the dees should go alright next year I rekken.

Watch out for JACK WATTS next year !!

Love ya GREENY

 

Nothing new here that many posters would not already know however, this is a fairly good article from Pete Ryan on the subject. The loss of Gysberts and Morton in regards to basically receiving Pederson and Rodan is explained below.

His comments:

"Having said that, all list managers must remain flexible because value can depend on a club's specific need at any particular time.

This is essential because, as former coach of the San Francisco 49ers Bill Walsh - who took drafting to another level of sophistication - used to argue, teams should not worry too much about the value given away if they need a player to fill a role. He used to say it never mattered where they were picked, it only mattered how they played."

Dawes, Pederson, Rodan and Brynes are going to look so good if Mitch, Trengove, Sylvia, Jones, Grimes and Watts have great yeears.


Bail also just jumps into oppositions backs.....He gives away just so many frees......I do admire his desperation to get the ball but he must improve in a lot of areas if he is to make it....

And he cannot kick

Could not hit the side of barn at 30 metres!

Unfortunately that is correct.

You're not getting confused with Clint Bartrim are you? Makes Bail look like a highly skilled athlete.

  • 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.
