BBP: thanks for the info. Regardless of how it turns out, it's good to have some rumours floating around here. You're probably right, but I think the Melbourne sweetener to Collingwood would be small. They are the same age and while Shaw has indeed been better, I don't think more than a swap of third round picks would be in order.

Hardtack: Bubs answered this for me. Last year, Port traded for free agent Monfries rather than sign him for nothing as it would have lessened their compo for Chaplin and Pearce. If Thomas was staying its not a deal they would do.

Bub: I don't think the Sylvia compo will be that good based on the criteria. I'd rather be proactive with him rather than sitting around waiting for a pick that may end up being 60.

    Heath Shaw has nominated Melbourne as his club of choice.

    Sauce - A colleague at work had dinner with her son last night, who has a connection with Leading Teams Sports management.

    I always have my doubts when demonlanders say "Sauce" (which is half the time).

    Problem is I can't tell if they do it deliberately or not. Someone want to enlighten me?

    Well, looking at rpfc's analysis of the FA compo bands, Sylvia could net us pick 21 (3rd tier, first pick after our 2nd round pick) - see rpfc's post here in the Sylvia to Bombers thread.

    it makes sense that they will go after anyone to shore up their imminently depleting stocks

    Every hill in Melbourne was windy yesterday. And today.

    If Coll wants to keep pick 11 for Thomas then we could do something if they wanted Sylvia.

    But the sweetener may be ours as they would lose more should we not agree.

    Getting Shaw for effectively pick 21 is overs. The same pick got us Dawes and he will be of more, and better service than Shaw.

    Long ways to go before this is something to stress over however.

    I very much doubt that Shaw is involved with plans for pick 2.

    Mahoney's own nominated parameters don't include someone of Shaw's age an experience, so I can't see him being in the thinking at this stage if we are down the track with anyone. Otherwise, why contradict yourself?

    GREATER Western Sydney has launched a bold $4 million play for disgruntled Collingwood defender Heath Shaw.

    How DESPERATE is GWS to land someone, anyone to its list. 800k pa is not just a little bit over its f'n ridiculous

    Good luck Heath ... Western Sydney ought to to be like home away from home

    4 mill.....lol

    Club has already stated we won't be going after Shaw, so it looks like he'll be someone else's problem.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
