Dom Tyson

Bernie Vince

Daniel Cross

    Don't we already have 500 threads about our off season?

    did you post a pointless comment on all 500?

    I just wanted to discuss the prospects for these lads in 2014.

    Wow, gone early on the Bluey call.

    From what I saw at training on Friday, you may well be right

    His form over the pre season has been outstanding, he is a beautiful kick and I see him setting up a lot of play for us, if he carries that form all year I reckon he is a sneaky chance at All Australian

    Touché!

    Don't know about the Bluey, but agree with the sentiments. I think he and Dom will be fantastic additions. The midfield rebuild is still a long way from complete. We need at least 2-3 more high quality mids brought in in the next trade/draft period, then some.

    The thing about them is they both win their own ball and when they have it they make something happen, that's what seperates stars and average players, the ability to turn normal touches into dangerous touches

    Massive call to say he'll be the best recruit of any side, although he will be a great pickup.

    Mumford looks like he is going to transform the Giants into a different outfit this season and beyond. At this stage he'd be my pick.

    I think we need to anticipate that Bernie may be up and down with his level of performance. If he can be at a consistently high level that would be great, but it hasn't been the case for him in recent years.

    Polec is probably another who has been a pretty big pickup, I had no idea he was even capable of the sort of game he dished up against Carlton

    my season predictions for us are

    Wins 6-8

    Bluey: Vince

    best first year: Georgiou

    best recruit: Vince, Tyson

    Goals: Howe

    under the pump: Jack Trengove ( no excuses now )

    most improved: Lynden Dunn

  • Quote

    You may well be correct Sassy. I still think Jones is a shoe in for a repeat though.

    I'm betting on Tyson as best recruit.

    This guy is going to be an absolute superstar in 2 to 3 seasons, assuming our mid field doesn't end up collapsing in a heap with injuries, like our key forwards.

  • Quote

    You gotta love Bernie.

    Very good player and capable of 4 or 5 seasons with us and hopefully all quality.

  • Quote

    Sassy, I really hope you're right.

    My expectations have been tempered by the 5 or 6 Crows fans who I've spoken to. They've all spoken of how frustrating Bernie can be, how he can go missing during the season.

    We've seen his heat when he is hot, and I'm hoping that the Roos magic will sort out Bernie's consistency and shove it up the Crows' fans.

    Go Dees!

    I reckon Roosy will be right onto that, for me the expectation associated with Bernie is that he shows leadership, is a positive influence on our list and when it's his turn to go he plays his role

    (Actually Anathema are on at the Corner Hotel on 23rd August, people should check them out)...back on topic, don't mind another topic and a bit of love for Bernie, believe there were issues at Adelaide in his last couple of years, game plan changed which sort of froze him out, reckon he has point to prove, same as Cross (who I believe is a bit [censored] with the Age journalist who said he is 'eking out another year at Melbourne")

    Gee I don't know about that. He'll be a quality pick up, but I personally reckon Jones' game will elevate even further this year. Bernie could end up with the hard tag, freeing up Chunk a bit. I reckon Chunk will kick more goals this season, and we'll see him grab plenty more quality possessions on the way to his third straight Bluey

    I actually think Trenners is my smokey, if he plays a full year at the level he played against the Tigers and at times against the Hawks he will have a much improved year.

    • 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.
