If we have any brains at all we should offer:

Fyfe: 7 years at a million a year

Danger: 7 years at 1.2 million a year

Tex: 5 years at 1 million a year

We have to go totally loco on this free agency business.

    I'd previously mentioned Ryan O'Keefe as a potential target, however I'm now starting to cool on him.

    My targets would be Matt Rosa as a free agent and trades for Lachlan Plowman and Daniel Gorringe.

    What is everyone's obsession with Plowman?

    From what i've watched i'd rather Tomlinson, Patton or Smith

    With Roosy just announcing his taken the 3rd year and will likely stay beyond that, we can now realistically dream big in regards to attracting marquee players

  • Quote

    I'd certainly be in the ear of Nat Fyfe and Tex Walker, we have the cap space to get them interested, Tex i'm sure wouldn't mind playing with Clis and Bernie.

    I know this will probably upset a few, but what does everyone think about Sylvia? you can't tell me he won't get delisted and Collingwood already have too many [censored], either go to us, Richmond or Carlton

    I was serious he'd be good depth, and considering how hard Roos was trying to keep him at the dees, i wouldn't put it behind him, and besides wouldn't be the first time a player went back to his old club.

    it would have been interesting to see what might have happened if he was 'Roosed' *

    * ('Roosed' adj. = the process by which a bad footballer, or a good footballer with a bad attitude, is transformed into a valuable asset under the tutelage of Paul Roos)

    I'm sure Fremantle would be thrilled to let him out of a well payed three year contract just one year in.

    You sure about that?

    In my eyes it was merely campaigning for fair FA compensation.

    Roos had no interest in keeping Sylvia.

    He's BIG, tough, could play as a big midfielder like Mundy, very talented but hasn't shown his true worth yet, and would be attainable.

    Basically tracking similar to Dom Tyson last year, except Plowman has been played as a defender.

    Patton very unlikely GWS would make available.

    Smith not what we need and they'd want to either keep him or get beyond his worth.

    Tomlinson would be in the same target category as Plowman.

    I like the look of Tomlinson 'Machsy' but so far I've seen nothing in Plowman that would put him in the class of Tyson going just on their GWS games.

    different players.

    IMO re the tall forward, I think we do not want a one dimension tall forward.

    I want a big fella who plays tall full forward (195cm+), CHF just as well, & into the ruck with genuine effectiveness. I'd like our tall forwards to be able to change forward roles with one another.

    can Patton play the ruck? essentially its the Clark role.

    we need to draft a key defender, & trade for another mature Mid. another tyson type deal.

    I thought you were giving Clark's job description.

    How about Jack Riewoldt?

    Hed probbaly kill to come here since he can never kick goals against us

    Never seen him play a good gave vs the MFC

    I was typing as I thought it thru, & then woke up to that very thing. Mitch's exact role. how ironic hey.

    The other way around it, is for the follower/tall forward to play For-pocket. So we need Fitzy to keep developing himself. I like it that Fitzy seems to feel more at home around the fatter part of the ground & playing the follower role. As he grows more confident he will start to use his body more, to move players out of position.

    He's still a bit young/immature footy wise, just yet.

    Mundy & Tex!! YES YES YES!

    Tex would bring back the days of Wild Jakovich antics...

    He could compliment Gawny as the new Cult hero at Demonland.

    His attitude is terrible and exactly what the team has been working at to eradicate.

    First Sylvia then this.

    Why would he come back when his parents just moved from Upwey to Glenelg?

    He isn't that bad, keep him away from the media and he's alright

    Plus he's won two colemans, so miles from Sylvia comparison

    • 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.
