wish they would start releasing the delisted names.

Will be shocked if Tapscott is redrafted as a rookie . IMO the benefit of a mature rookie is that he is fit and playing consistent football in the 2nds just waiting for a long term injury. Tappy is always injured or coming back from an injury and I would be shocked if he has ever strung 8 - 10 weeks in a row of training and playing.

 

I know Sam Blease was told when he came back into the side a few weeks ago that it was his last chance and he needs to show something, I can only assume he will be delisted or traded because of his inability to lock down a spot in the leagues weakest side.

 

Any delistings yet?

Not til after the B and F....I would think....

Bleases mentality isn't too different to a track sprinter.
He has no idea how to play as a team and he has a big ego.

The problem with Sam's ego, is that he isn't as quick as he thinks he is.

Because of this, alot of his attempts at scoring and involvement in play result in him trying to be a one man team.

Too often he tries to burn off his opponent, and either gets run down or allows the opponent to effect his disposal to the extent that it becomes a turn over or a missed shot on goal.

Too often sam ignores open option and takes the kick himself from 50, where he had pass options at 20 and 30 meters out.

I could see that he once had potential, but its too late.

Plus, kent has all of sams skills minus a tad bit of sams pace, but kent has the team factor.


It has started

Nicholson and clisby told their services no longer needed.

I don't see Watts as an effective full forward in this team. He is not a contested marking beast and our disposal upfield is not good enough to utilise his talents.

I see Watts as a Jack Gunston type of player who will be a great converter when he can find space in the forward line and guys up the ground can actually hit him with a pass. Hogan and Watts could be a dangerous combination but our midfield will need to improve to allow this.

I'm not sure how Roos sees Watts but I suspect his trajectory would be similar to Gunston's in a decent side. He only needs a couple of shots at goal a week to be really dangerous. But putting him deep forward would be no value to either him or the side right now.

nice to see a bump that is giving someone an applause instead of shitcanning them :D

Or perhaps Radar Detector is actually THE G Lyon?


Seems an age ago this thread - but we discuss it every year.

Hopefully, Watts settles it positively in 2015.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
