I don't want to throw 'massive dollars' at another tall.

Let me know when Selwood is out of contract and we can throw 'massive dollars' at someone who will actually fix our 'massive' midfield problem.

Go back to howling at the moon, the captain of Geelong is leaving to join Melbourne.

    Harry Taylor is a gun. He plays for one of the great teams, with great stars and a great culture.

    ............And then he gets a call from MFC......

    Honestly as much as I admire the bloke, I really think we should be focussing on the middle.

    I am still wondering why we went for Dawes when we have Clark and we have Hogan coming through....when we need mids.

    And i am sure Taylor will have sleepless nights considering a juicy offer from MFC.

    He's a good player in a purple patch of form. He certainly wouldn't be in my top 10 wish list. Mids, mids, mids.

    I think some might be missing that we don't need a midfield player. We need a midfield, as in 3-4 players.

    We shouldn't buy anything but midfielders. Our defence is workable and our forwards are workable (down a crumber admittedly). We won't know what they are capable of until our midfield is functioning at AFL standard.

    No we've got some midfielders, they're trying to develop them. MJones has surprised me. & Jonesy has stepped up again to the point of being tagged.

    We can't fill all the spots, as we need to continue to develop our kids as well.

    But we sure as hell need one gun Mid to help the other guys.

    But we really need as much onfield leadership as we can find, from a strong Club culture background... Whether its in the middle or in defence...

    We have no chance of recruiting any decent player. I dont care how much money we got.

    No one would want to join us at this point.

    We need to improve alot and be heading up, before players will want to join us.

    Our only hope would be to recruit players that are on the fringe in good clubs that cant quite get a crack.

    But hey werent they the Gilles, Pedersen types ?

    Imagine a Dal Santo, he would go, ill just stay at Saints.

    We never had any forwards since Neitz and Robbo Retired then we lost Jurrah to boot.

    We were pinning our hopes On Juice , but he couldnt crack it except for Mark of the year ? wasnt it.

    Miller despite hes efforts wasnt going to be the answer.

    So selectoin of Dawes and Clark was the way to go, If they get fit and can be there with Hogan, Our forwards will look the best in a while.

    But Midfield is in crisis.

    Jones need support and Viney still learning. McKenzie is just a tryer. Grimes best suited as a bank flanker IMO.

    We are crying out for Jobe Watson or Pendlebury type.

    I would like to see him at the club. If I were him though, I would avoid us with a 40 foot clown pole. Painting the top of a radio tower would be a less stressful career at this point.

    He should have won the Norm Smith medal in 2009.

    He could play CHB or CHF or the swing man role but we have Frawley, McDonald, Sellar, Dawes, Clarke, Hogan etc

    One player can't fix anything but particularly one key position player.

    So even if we could attract him I think it would be a waste of money.

    I'm not saying our key position stocks are full of stars but they are good enough to win games or at least not see us smashed by Gold Coast.

    Let's invest in youth also look for some hidden gem quality running players in the 22-25 year old range from inside or outside the AFL system like Terlich and Matt Jones. Thats our best chance of getting better quickly

    Are we sure that Frawley will be here next year? He certainly hasn't shown any interest in being there this year? And Sellar?

    Yeah, but Harry plays forward and back....no way he could do that at Melb....Hey wait a.......

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
