KC, looking forward to your summary at the end hopefully?

That was very subtle.......

 

Yeah, I know. Sorry. I'm keen to know about a couple and KC is always a good read.


Just down the road and its going to [censored] down.

I had Taggert and Tynan in my preferred Round 1 team vs Port

Might have gone too early but I rate them both highly

would have both of them in the MFC team ahead of a dozen of the current players

Same same.


We keep hearing from at least one poster here that (can't remember which) Taggert or Tynan "will be a gun"!

Any thoughts from your personal observations KC??

I don't think it's me but I do think he has considerable potential if managed right i.e. looking after his back

KC, I haven't said this for a while but I, along with many others on this forum, appreciate your efforts to keep us updated about the scorps on match days and during the week. Reading your reports are always great as well.

Thanks again.

It will be a couple of years before you might be able to call either one a gun but I would have Taggert ahead in the race. His four goal effort could earn him a game at AFL level, if not next week, then soon after the break. Tynan could become a steady defender but I don't think he's going to become a champion.

Taggert should make it. He's got size, fitness and skill he just needs time and to find the footy at VFL level. He'll be a midfield/forward rotation guy at AFL.

Tynan I have big doubts on. Seems very slow and unskilled for a guy aiming to be an AFL defender.

Best players and goal kickers?


Is this round 8? if so this win (and percentage) should put us in the top 4.

POS TEAM P W L D B For Agst % PTS

Why is it so hard to insert tabels ..argh!

A couple of observations from Sandy (I was there to watch my nephew go around in the development squad):

  • A few people I spotted: Paul Gardiner, Choco Royal, Col Garland.
  • Hogan took a terrific contested mark in the 1st quarter and is a very strong kid! Will be immovable in a couple years.
  • Blease kicked a belter of a goal from near the boundary in the 2nd.
  • Regardless of whether he played a good game or not Jimmy Toumpas makes very good position as an outside mid.Will prove a good choice in time.
  • Magner shouldn't have been dropped.
  • Casey seem to be well coached.

Taggert should make it. He's got size, fitness and skill he just needs time and to find the footy at VFL level. He'll be a midfield/forward rotation guy at AFL.

I thought Taggerts biggest weakness was his fitness? - wasn't he one of the slowest on the track over preseason? - maybe that was due to injuries

Injury Young Dee.

Rory has had stress fractures in his back and played virtually no footy last year. He did a limited pre-season this year. As you would expect his fitness is not at AFL level yet. But he will get there, and he has all the tools to be an 150 AFL game onballer/high half-forward.

  • 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.

  • 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.
