Players to target at the end of the year

Featured Replies

Petracca and Brayshaw sound good.

Frawley compo and our second rounder - if we don't have to use it on Stretch - for O'Rourke and Plowman.

I say we go hard for James Rodriguez, pronounced yames. He is only 20, has poise, skill and can kick a goal from any position. It's a no brainier in my mind except I am not sure our salary cap could accommodate him?

Sounds like he should be playing for Brazil at the World Cup.

Colombia currently tournaments leading scorer

 

Theorectically we finish bottom 2-3, frawley leaves and we get tier 1 compo, i dont see us drafting kids with both picks.

Im sure we'll have a go at Shiel. The issue is will GWS have a need for an early pick in a kpp dominated draft? Maybe/maybe not.

Alternatively, there will also be Freo who may be willing to part with one of their prized players in order to get one of the top kpf prospects. I guess this will be dependent on whether Mundy leaves.


You do understand that development, environment, coaching and the recruiters a club possesses determines greatly the talent you bring to your club and the way that talent develops?

And you do understand that we have a COMPLETELY different football department of coaches and recruiters as well as an improved environment for young players to develop in?

Meaning the past 7 years counts for absolutely nothing.

As for Frawley, if he resigns, all I hope is that we see a player who's actions on-field indicate he wants to do everything he can to help this club improve and not just 'go through the motions' ala Sylvia... Because that will do nothing for us and I'd rather take the chance of landing a beauty who could help win this clubs next flag.

Well, I do understand things have changed, yes. But preferring draft picks to a bloke who is 25 and an AA full back is ludicrous, IMO. He showed his worth today.

My post was directed at those who are saying they hope he leaves, so we can get more draft picks. That's a very disappointing attitude, given where we've come from.

I do detract my statement though that draft picks wouldn't help. They could very well help, but I'd prefer a top draft pick (which we'll get due to ladder position) and keeping Frawley.

Cut Clark's salary in half and throw around 450k a year at sheil and treloar, two of the best up and coming mids in the comp would be a huge boost!

I'd fork over picks 4 and 5 for those two without hesitation

 

Anyone who can kick 30 metres to position would be a hell of a start!

I can...but is there running involved !!!

Heard from a pretty solid source last night that Adam Tomlinson wants to come back to Victoria at the end of the year and Melbourne is his preferred club so he can play with his best mate Dom Tyson again.

Not saying it'll definitely happen, (unsure on his current contract situation) as the right trade needs to achieved but I'd be very happy with him lining up alongside Hogan and Dawes in our forward line next year

It would be good to have players actively want to come to Melbourne.

Need to target potential superstars / match winners: Boyd, Patton, Wines, Prestia players of that ilk, pay big $$ and offer 5 years. We have salary cap space.

Adam Tomlinson ... best mates with Dom Tyson

Tomlinson for pick #24 and Strauss

Tomlinson would be a good target actually. If he is wants out and is heading back home to Vic, we may be able to pinch him with a second rounder. Strauss has zero trade value though and they'd not bother taking him as he just clogs up list space.

We should put Toumpas up for a trade with our 2nd or 3rd rounder.

I would even offer up Howe. It is about time we were willing to give up some decent players to get something decent in return which fits our mould better.

would love him for the right price

193 centimetres and finds the ball, takes plenty of marks

Hasn't started hitting the scoreboard yet but it will come

Rekcon Roosy would turn him into a gun

He's contracted until the end of 2015. Apparently pick 3-5 could secure him though. Unfortunately I have seen nearly 0 GWS games so I couldn't comment on whether he is worth it or not.

He's not. I mean this is a nice way but he's a future Cam Pedersen. He's big. He moves ok. He can play a bit of ruck, forward, back or even as a big lumbering wingman. He can kick ok but more when the pressures not on him.

I think he went closer to pick 10 and you wouldn't use a pick 10 on him now because you'd rather take a chance of someone with a higher talent I think.

If we got picks 3, 4 and 22 then you'd try and force their hand with 22. Otherwise you'd want something more back for trading pick 4. You'd want Tomlinson plus another player worth something between picks 10-20, another 2-1 deal.

We should put Toumpas up for a trade with our 2nd or 3rd rounder.

Toumpas sure. But Howe gets tagged as a backman for a reason. He's our best attacking backman and unless we can get Malceski and Shaw all of a sudden he's a vital player.


completely agree re toumpas.

adelaide were hot on him last time.

i'd happily get shot of him for their first rounder while we can.

Crows 1st round pick for Toumpas?

Definitely!

Are they back in the draft this year?

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
