Players to target at the end of the year

Featured Replies

Yeah because chasing a bloke who is best 22 in a potential premiership side isn't injecting our list with talent. Bird might not set the world on fire but he would be someone who would help to make our side better.

I think anyone with minimal ball skills would make our list better.

 

Just because he is best 22, doesn't mean he is a genuine talent. He's no more than a role player who adheres to the instructions given to him by a coach who has a side playing like a unit. There is no chink when everyone performs their role. Bird is hardly a game breaker and he certainly doesn't influence the outcome of matches. He plays a minimal but effective role in the best functioning side within the AFL.

How mich better did Mitch Morton look when playing at Sydney and in that Grand Final than he did in his entire career at tigerland?

Bird is not the 'talent' that Roos speaks about when addressing our problems.

What exactly do you think Paul Roos is trying to create at the MFC?

You need a core group of consistent and regular AFL standard performers before players like Bird begin to perform consistently for your side.

Sure he's trying to create all of this.

All I'm saying is, I don't think Bird would be a player Roos would target as a means to increase the 'talent' level of our club.

I agree in part Steve, although Bird brings so much else to the club that, if he were on the table for the right price, we would have been mad to overlook him. But I also see your point as well, just thought you were selling Bird a little short in your summation of him.

Again Moon, he was traded therefore was a commodity! If Kennedy showed the same form as a Cameron, he would have been seen as an untouchable. Kennedy was underwhelming at Carlton.

Never said he wasn't a commodity. All players are potential commodities. He was re-signed for two years by Carlton just before the WCE trade. Kennedy showed considerable potential at the Blues. The fact he is now a star is proof of that. Undeniable.


does anyone thin we are actually a legitimate shot to get Jeremy Cameron or that hes possibly already agreed to a deal with us?

I know we all want it to be true and that his season ending injury helps to fuel the rumours as does the fact we have a shitload of salary cap $$$ to play with, but what are the chances realistically

I think we and others have a legitimate chance of landing Jeremy Cameron, we have the dollars, and the picks

 

If anyone ever suggests we target Boomer Harvey, I will find you, I will come to where you live, and I will slap you in the face.

Better still, find where Boomer lives and go slap that whinging little [censored] in the face.

I reckon the Jeremy Cameron rumor is an absolute myth. If he is going to go it will be a top club that plays finals regularly.

It depends, none of the top sides could match what we could offer, or even go close really, and then satisfying GWS in a trade without giving away a senior player becomes tough

Umm.. Idk if you guys watched the game on Sunday but if you did, you would of realise our primary problem isn't out foward line. When we do get inside 50 we're relatively dangerous...but because our midfield always gets soo comprehensively beaten...we never do! So ye getting Cameron is risky because it would be at the expense of potential quality midfielders so highly unlikely we would want him. I think everyone who does want him is consciously ignoring the fact that we have Jesse Hogan who will make a huge difference when he starts getting some game time. Plus I'm pretty sure most of our passengers would fit the midfield category am I right? (By midfield I mean players who do sometimes play other positions but are predominantly In the midfield.) So ye... Basically...[censored] Cameron...he will cost too much. This doesn't make our off season any less exciting tho. I'm sure we will sign at least one big fish. Not sure if this [censored] makes sense..but oh well

Anyone know what matt sucklings contract situation is ? Is the best kick in the comp... Wouldn't be against throwing him a 4 year deal at around $400k.. Would have to be a significant pay rise on his current wage and we'd be paying overs but I don't care, we need good ball users. Obviously we'd have to trade for him so makes it hard.

GWS players are committed to winning a flag together.

Shiel, Cameron, Boyd, Patton, etc etc ain't going anywhere!

Very much doubt that

Wait and see....they're committed.

Maybe some are some aren't...I only know of one that isn't and wants to come home. I'm sure there are more.

After watching the crap we served up yesterday I am hoping we now get Ryan O Keefe

He will be an upgrade on at least 20 of the spuds on our list even if he is almost 34

Hope we get Malceski more though, but would love both


We need leaders.

Someone who understands the modern game and can analyse it on the run.

It's no good waiting to the end of a game or quarter to talk about it.

On field leaders are just that, players that can see how the game is changing and make immediate changes or contact the bench.

If that doesn't happen then the game can be lost.

The leaders that fit this mold are Sellwood, Hodge. Mitchell, Lewis, Pavlich, (probably 6 swans) Watson.

Pick up 1 or 2 of those types and I'd be happier.

Hopefully, we have Salem, Toumpas and Trengrove coming back with another pre-season under Roos and committed to proving to Demonlanders why they were all top ten draft picks! (Maybe also Watts with something to prove?)

One thing all three are that we seriously lacked on the weekend is good users of the ball

Im reasonably confident those three will in time be very handy footballers. I hope trenners wants to stay.

  • 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.
