Vince says we're lacking a superstar, maybe Bernie gets onto the phone to his mate Patty Dangerfield and whispers soon finals success and a chance to come home.

T Mac and our first round pick for Patty Dangerfield?
Wouldn't mind Tex Walker either, I know the last thing we need is another kpf with injuries but still, it's Tex Walker

Didn't need Bernie to point that one out. We've been lacking a superstar for a long, long time.

Think they'd want more than that for Danger. Throw Trenners in and they may show interest. Lots of water to go under the bridge before trade time.

Trenners is over imo, Judd went for Josh Kennedy a quality forward pick 3 and pick 20, don't see why T Mac can't go and a first round pick can't go for Danger

(And McDonald was a better player than Kennedy was before he went to Meth Coke)

And if Danger came out and said he will not sigh a contract for 2015 and wants to be traded, they'd take what they can get so they get something out of it

He is right, until we get an even contribution from the 22 players each week we will struggle. That is what I read from his comments rather than the superstar comment. Footy today is a team game that if you have a couple of weak links you will get beaten. We carry to many weak links into each week and until we can either get a healthy list that sees out best 22 on the park or we can find another 5-6 players that are AFL standard we will struggle.

Thank you captain obvious!

What should we do then?

Dangerfield? Barlow? Fyfe, he's out of contract at the end of the season isn't he?

We have a Star...maybe just off superstar..... but a game changer...but he never damn well plays...

Has Matt Pridis signed yet?

Viney? he's not a superstar yet.. yet this we'll be his yar

All those players named would be dying to come to the Dees, if nothing else, just to add a few flags to their CV.

I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiting philosophy of adding a few more good hard players, by trading an early pick for a lower pick and a player for example and starting to climb up the ladder.

When we start that climb and show we are on the move, then we can go after a star player or two.

We've been lacking a superstar since Robbie Flower if not before but as Vince said we need an even performance.

Especially once Garland is back we have a group of capable defenders even if we need to add some skill and pace off half back. We know the midfield needs work but Jones now has some support with Vince, Cross and Tyson plus more. Dawes and Hogan plus the bonus if Clark ever comes back plus the eventual freshening of the small forward roles with players like Salem and Kent gives us some forwards who can kick goals.

The best chance we have of getting a superstar is Viney and Hogan. Both have great talent. But it's hard if not impossible to emerge as a young star in a very bad team.

Unfortunately right at the moment tall forwards is the one area on the ground where it's very hard for us to get an even performance. We just don't have the cattle.

And if Danger came out and said he will not sigh a contract for 2015 and wants to be traded, they'd take what they can get so they get something out of it

Dangerfield is contracted until the end of 2015.

Worry about this next year....

We cant afford Danger while we are paying 800k to someone on indefinite personal leave.

Does anyone honestly know how much money we have to spend?

Everytime we think weve found one they get injured or leave.

Im Banking on viney and hogan......signs are looking good for watts as well.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
