We do not have speed - We do not have a game breaker

    Smith is not a big lad he is around the 175-78 mark and I don't see him getting any bigger he has some speed but lacks a tank. He does like to hurt people when he tackles but does not have the tank to do it often enough or be the game changer we hope for. He lacks the size to be a big mid using his pace and size to burst out of clearances like a Judd or Dangerfield. I would describe Smith as a poor mans Cyril Rioli and at best he may end up being a Lyndsay Thomas type.

    Pickett has blinding pace but can go missing for long spells during games, not sure about this kid, has all the tools but IMO lives on the tools when needed and the reason he goes missing so much is because he lacks the hunger, which will be amplified at the next level

    Cheers PSD, Smith's tank is a weakness from what I've seen previously, hopefully one that can be improved. He played off the back flank for the Perth seniors in the first couple of rounds, yeah?

    For both players you are spot on with the doubts they'll need to dispel or alleviate this year. Will make all the difference to their draft standing.

    This is why i was very surprised we didnt take Nathan Freeman. I thought he was the perfect big bodied very quick mid that we were seriously lacking.

    Am happy with Salem though.

    Barry is this player and i think will be a big improver over the next 12 months.

    It was stated in a vfl review that his gps figures are at AFL level now its just about getting to the right spot. He moves quickly and covers long distances and uses the pill really well.

    Whilst footspeed and line breaking is helpful, kicking the ball 50 m to a target and then the next target on is the best way to break lines, i dont care how quick someone is the ball will travel quicker in the air, and it is more about how you use the ball.

    • 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.
