I'm not sure if you understood me? IMO take Brayshaw & Lever now, & let Petracca if he is still there, slide to GWS.... gut feel, I reckon he'll need 2 yrs to build his engine, as he's a power build. I think he'll struggle to run out games.

They'll have to play him as he develops, forcing another out of the team. End of 2015, time for us then to strike, to pickup one of theirs who wants to return. Then after 2 Yrs, see if Petracca is ready to come back to Vic for the 2017 season..

Petracca can play half forward if he hasn't got an engine. He can take a grab and can kick goals, it would be insane to let him slide. How do you know that Lever has an engine? He's been out for 18 months and never played in the midfield.

I think if we go for the Brayshaw, Petracca, Lever combo I think we will throw our money at Tomlinson, he's less known than Treloar and Sheil so the money we throw at him should scare the better clubs that are after him while throwing massive amounts of cash to Treloar or Sheil probably won't scare away the better clubs away as they are proven guns.

    I have been saying for a long time.

    Put the two golfers back together and you have a great team.

    Tyson and Tomlinson to be re-united.

    Come on man

    Have you learned nothing from the Ollie Wines debacle

    The fact you wanna skip over Petracca is made 10 times worse by the free gift it would give to GWS

    Ollie wines wasn't the highest touted kid in the land he was struggling to get thought of a s a top 5

    this is the difference, he wasn't under as much expectation, but rather had a lot to prove, & he came into a great team on the up, which is strong in the Mids, so he could start of with no pressure adding a support role, to what was already a strong midfield.

    this petracca is under a whole lot of pressure to perform. if he came to us there would be a lot of high pressure for him to star straight away. not good.

    Sounds right to me.

    IIRC Port even bid on Viney with their first pick before we matched it, then took Wines in the draft.

    We would only hope to poach Petracca off GWS if he was good enough, and if he was good enough GWS wouldn't want to let him go. They only let us take Tyson because they saw him as excess stock- a mistake they'd be careful not to make again.

    The idea of letting someone go to another club to get developed and then expect them to be gifted to us later is flawed in every way. It is the dumbest most idiotic idea I've ever heard. GWS will struggle to hold on to all their talent from a salary cap point of view, but to think it can be manipulated to suit our designs is the dumbest thing I've ever heard on this forum.

    Good post but think Tomlinson will be firmly in the Saints sites after Boyd moved a year earlier than expected.

    • 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

    • 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.
