Won't make any difference. Frawley is probably overseas and he can't admit he's going to Geelong until October.

I Predict some savage delistings / trades/sackings, coming out of Geelong in the next few days

October 3 is the date that FA opens and when it can be announced.

Personally I can't c why something can't be announced once both teams are out of the finals.

That way we can all farting get on with it.

Cats slide continues, out in straight sets, first side since Weagles in 2007 to do so... not even top 6, with North moving past them.

Interesting decision for James.


what makes it even worse is Prendergast said he rated Gysberts the third best midfielder in the draft behind Scully and Trengove (overlooking Martin)!!!!!

He sure knew how to pick 'em

Yep, never mind Morabito & Cunnington. Won't hang him for Fyfe and Christiansen, 15 other clubs passed on those two at least once.

Good Luck at the Cattery. The Dynasty is over.

You can still commit to Roos

He will rise the MFC Chip not that you helped the cause much in '14.

The choice is yours to make.

Well at least with the Cats out he can hint that is where he is going. Roos is even trying to [censored] off pick 3 he is so certain he will leave, indeed can we affor for him not to go. I too the Cats slide a bit they have had a good run at it and now it is time to slip

 

I too can see the Cats entering a new era. A great deal has been said about the fact that they've remained at the top without the need for a rebuild but it's now looking more like they were buoyed up by having so many great players in their premiership era that prolonged their days up there. It's not dissimilar to Melbourne fifty years ago and St. Kilda of two or three years ago - they have a large number of players approaching or over 30 on their list. When they depart in the next two to three years, they are likely to become a shell of their old selves and go into rapid decline. If Frawley leaves Melbourne for the money, fame and glory, the schadenfreude in me wills his club to be Geelong.

All media reports think he is going to Geelong but he will probably end up at Sydney or Hawthorn

Walker has probably saved his skin the last 2 weeks.

I'm not sure of contracts, but I'd suspect Mitch Brown is gone, Schroder, Taylor Hunt, Cowan...

Maybe more. Nick Bourke definitely gone. Maybe Hamling. Stringer or McCarthy maybe, but not likely.

Thing is, they may hold onto some for trade possibilities.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Kersten move, while he is flashy and new, and presumably has a bit of currency.

He's a bit soft in the head and will frustrate for a long time if they keep him.

Would not be surprised if Kelly retires. Bartel should definitely think about it, Enright will scrape together one more year, Rivers, Mackie and Lonergan not long to go.

Varcoe probably up for trade.

I think they rate Varcoe higher internally. I do too. Keeper for mine.

Enright, Bartel and Kelly will be interesting.

Kel won't likely go around again, from what I'm told.

Doesn't have many close friends at the club any more.

Never seen Enright or Bartel struggle so much to impose themselves on the contest.

I've always thought Bartel was prone to suspect kicking at crucial moments.

I thought he handed it straight back a few times last night.

Enright & Mackie copped a bit internally for their performances last night.

Will be interesting to see.

Not exactly walking into a sure thing finals side, Mr. Frawley...

Saw cunnington kick 10 as a 15 yo in his first senior game.

Yes drafting is a lottery,but everybody i spoke to,including 3 scouts from different clubs,all said cunners would be top 10.

He had pedigree,born leader,never give up attitude and skills inside to die for.

Bet north are spewing they drafted him.

They will need to look at putting some value up for trade though and he would be one. If they rely on free agents to top up they will be well and truly on the slide.

Jimmy Bartel will have some good games but he is making more mistakes and playing less good games as time goes on. He should go out on top.

They are placing a lot on the idea of Vardy making it or Taylor making it as a forward. I don't think Taylor is a forward and it is effecting his game moving him around. He needs to be settled for mine. Vardy has shown no more than Stanley at St Kilda.

With Selwood and Hawkins along with Duncan, Christianson and Caddy...they will be ok but not the powerhouse any longer. If Hawkins goes down forget it.

It'd be pretty damn funny if he never plays a final in his career, if he leaves us to play finals.

If he decides to go then my hope is Geelong. How sweet would it be for us to overtake them in the next three seasons, and if that happens he'll end up a nobody. No one will care about him at Geelong and the same at Melbourne.

If he doesn't want to stay then [censored] him

If he wants success then he should be steering clear of the Cats who are (finally) on the slide. They may just cling to a top 8 spot next year, but they will eventually sink to mid table and it will be a while before they are challenging for a flag again.

Suns or Pies would be the better choice.

So hopefully he goes to the Cats :)

Dare I say it but I'm with you on this one Machsy. I have also been watching Bartel closely in the last couple of weeks and if he's not running forward of the play to get cherry kicks, I'll go he. He's also slowing,down markedly.

Reckon cats would be filthy on not selecting Brodie Grundy now. Was linked to him pre draft and had an interview with them day before the draft only to be overlooked for Jackson Thurlow.

They desperately needed a ruckman last night. He would have been handy.


Cats are in trouble - no rucks, only 1 forward, many ageing stars and not too many above average up and comers.

Bartel,, Enright, Mackie, Kelly are all on the turn IMO.

Go for it Chip.

Agreed Dazzle. They were horribly exposed there last night. And I've got to say it, no one gets a run with the umps like Geelong IMO. There were some frees late in that game which were truly mind boggling.

Caddy was bloody good though. Makes you think he was running dead at Gold Coast.

Forgot Varcoe and Stokes - how bad were they!

Caddy was bloody good though. Makes you think he was running dead at Gold Coast.

Agree, thought Caddy was amazing - almost Selwood like.

  • 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.
