Not getting regular games at Richmond and is a definite talent who could work wondera on our forward line.

I would offer up a Strauss or a Tapscott for him and see where things go.

Neeld effed up letting Petterd go because he didnt suit the flawed game plan/style.

Petterd getting more game time than Nahas at the Tigers. Lol.

Not that bad of an idea, would be great under the feet of Clark, Dawes Hogan next year..

But would rather pluck a kid from the draft, I'd love a little pest in the forward pocket.

Absolutely not. Fringe player at best.Better off trying another kid over Nahas. Vfl player at best.

Can you explain how another kid(this would be a late pick) Strauss or Tapscott could add more value then bringing in an experienced small forward whose been pushed out due to really well performing team mates. If Jake King gets suspended he would be starting 22 for a top 6 side.

Yeah I don't see why people are dismissing him so quickly? I've seen him do some very good things in the forward line. But I guess we have such a wealth in quick small forwards...

I dont see much worth holding onto Strauss. Next year is his 6th season. Even if he does come good he can go where he wants in 2 years as a RFA. IF he comes good.

Do we? davey and bynes are getting on, blease is expected to play a mid/wing role, nev is a better defender, I cant think of any small forwards on our list.

apologies i missed your saracasm on the end '...' haha

definatley would be a great target, could prob get him for chips as well

offer rohan bail lol

Barely an improvement on Byrnes for mine. That said, he's kicked more goals in his career than I'd have guessed before I looked, and he's obviously much younger than Byrnes.

Pretty good idea. Neville Jetta doesn't look like he's returning to the forward pocket, doesn't seem like we're too interested in playing Blease there, we're gonna have 3 capable talls next year so i'd love to have a decent small there. He's 25, played 82 games and kicked 100 goals. Parting ways with Rodan and Byrnes would be ideal if we were to get Nahas though.

I think we should offer a 4th round pick for this guy, Tigers set to delist him and he could fill a gaping hole in our forward line. Experienced small forward which could fit in for a few years while one of the younger guys develops to fit in.

Posted (edited)

Let the younger guy develop; Nahas couldn't get a game with a club that had a substandard small forward ahead of him. No thanks.

Have I ever told you I don't rate small forwards?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
