James Magner at Essendon

Found it a bit ironic this bloke came out publicly kicking and screaming at Neeld and Craig for not giving him much of a go and now they have gone ahead and given him a second chance.

Interesting selection

Just waiting for Brent Moloney to get named soon.

 

They are desperate to unlock the secret as to how we kept beating them when we were at our worst and they were fully juiced.

desperate times and money make for strange bedfellows !!

 

Well he did build Eastlink by himself.


And Mitch Clisby.

Surely Tom Gillies must get a run?

Magner, Clisby ... Neeld and Craig.

Getting the band back together.

 

BTW, this from the Essendon site (I know, I know ...):

Bio: Clisby is a 25 year old who played eight games for Melbourne when Mark Neeld and Neil Craig were at the club. Currently on the North Adelaide list in the SANFL he is a quality outside midfielder who has a strong running ability. He uses the ball well by foot when given time and space.

List Manager Adrian Dodoro: “The former Melbourne rookie player was rated highly as a junior and comes to the club on a recommendation by Mark Neeld and Neil Craig. Clisby has the ability to play on the wing or play through the midfield. He played eight senior games after making his debut at Melbourne under Neil.”


Pace, pace and more pace.

Cale Morton for outside run?

I'm just waiting for this site to self combust if we lose this match.

Magner clisby petrenko brown jones.. Sounds a bit similar to our recruiting in 2012. Scattergun

Umm... round 2, 2013 ring any bells for you, Biff? I can quite understand if it has been deliberately scrubbed from your memory ...


Good luck to Magner hope he can make it at senior level.

Cale Morton for outside run?

Tapscott for some sprint off half back

Tapscott for some sprint off half back

Only feasable if his opposition are handicapped.

Yes, I agree, although I was surprised that Clisby was dropped and I always liked the way Magner played and thought he deserved more opportunity, but we continued to play others who would be satisfied with 5 disposals for an entire game, Magner was a ball magnet.

Must have been some sort of pre season that the boys put in that year.

I didn't mind Clisby.

Neil Craig was obviously a fan. Got him in as soon as he took control and kept him in. Clisby is a little small to defend medium forwards and lacks a bit of penetration on his kicks but his short to medium kicking is solid and he added some rebound to our team when he came in. I was surprised Roos didn't give him a shot.

Neeld seriously rates Evans, he would be a good chance

 

This just gets better and better. I wonder how long people can possibly still #standbyhird

Until they are a Carlton 2002/03 style basketcase or worse. By that, I mean when they are close to handing the keys back to the AFL.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
