Somebody stand up and suprise us

The AFL is riddled with players who have come off the rookie list or gone late in the draft or come straight out of state leagues & gone on to be some of the best in the comp. Players like Dane Swan, Sam Mitchell or Michael Barlow, the list goes on.

We have our fair share of guys who've gone in the first round. Watts, Trengove, Toumpas, Hogan etc... But who from the Dees lesser likes could suprise and take the next step?

Evans

M.Jones

Terlich

T.McDonald

Taggert

Kent

Magner

I like Matt Jones very much and I think he has a huge amount of potential.

Tommy Mac.. I always forget he was a pick 50 odd.

If Tom McDonald can improve his disposal, he could become the best centre-half back in the league. That's a BIG "if", though.

Agree on Matt Jones. Watching the replay of Sunday's game, he looks very rushed with his disposal and decision making - I think once he gets properly adjusted to the speed of the game, he'll be a valuable contributer for us.

He needs to learn to beat his opponent defensively first. He's been smashed thus far this year. Opposition coaches are singling him out and getting him one on one with his opponent and it works a treat. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as he's come back from injury and may need a few weeks to adjust, but at present he is more leaky than the Titanic.

Of that list Evans was good the weekend and has upside. If he can manage his back and continue to build up his core strength, he will be a good midfielder for us. He has pace, can kick goals, and has a good work ethic.

Matt Jones has been solid since debuting. He adds depth but I'm unsure he has much upside, being nearly 26 already.

Kent looked good in the preseason. I look forward to seeing him play in the red and blue this year.

Taggert has showed promise in a few VFL games but is injury prone and inconsistent. I'm not sure he will make it, but would love to see him step up.

Terlich has been decent thus far. If he cleans up his disposal then he will play for us for many years off the half back flank.

Magner is a battler, and while I admire his work ethic he won't make it.

He's a long way off Harry Taylor 'Chook', good disposal or not.

Matt Jones is a clever player who has shown a bit, Terlich has a bit of go about him and I like his run with and without the ball, he will get better.

The 2 we need to step up though are Kent and Taggert, both are a good size and just as importantly both are excellent kicks.

Harry Taylor doesn't have that much longer in the game, 'rjay.'

26yo, unless you know something I don't he probably has a few good years left in him yet.

Really? I thought he was older than that.

  • 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.
