Could your reluctance to let Garland go, but trade Toumpas, be linked to sentimentality, mate? If Garland can't improve under Roos and harness the ability to attack off half back, then he never will, IMO. I'm leaning towards trading Col more so every week. I agree though, if the price was right with Toumpas.

The thing to ask regarding Toumpas is what type of player we've got and what are we happy with. I actually think the argument you've made for Col turning things around when the team rises, could be made for Jimmy too. Toumpas is a gut-running mid with nice disposal that currently shits himself occasionally, which results in a poor decision making.

Toumpas will grow into an important role player. Not necessarily who you want at pick 4, but if there aren't any better offers, I'm happy enough with Jimmy. He also shows a passion to improve. I like it.

Fair points mate, particualry with Toumpas. I feel with our relatively young list that he could be of better value on the trade table to get a quality deal over the line.

I'm not throwing him on there for the sake of it, or for any dislike, but yes if the price is right.

As for Garland, he's an RFA so the concept of trading him comes at a risk. I would rather see him signed early at his market value rather than see it dragged out to the end of the year which could attract other clubs and a higher price to match if we desire the trade. If the trade falls through we'll be stuck having to pay for an overpriced Garland.

    Draftees? When is a player no longer a draftee or are they always so if not traded in?

    Just watching NT Thunder vs Brisbane reserves. Dom Barry has improved a bit. He's a bit wasteful sometimes with the ball, but he's getting plenty and still has great clean hands.

    Let me ask you this.. If Prestia was at Melbourne and Howe was at Gold coast.. Would you accept pick 4 & Howe for Prestia and pick 20?

    Absolutely not..If we want to land Prestia it will be pick 4 + Howe with no pick 20 in return.. Simple as that.

    Has done nada at sanfl level all year, and had the heat put on him at the beginning of the year to improve or be chopped.

    I expect he might be a straight delist.

    Brisbane would do that trade with Aish

    Would give them pick to trade on for Dixon and Howe.

    Quick fix to a [censored] forward line

    Agree.

    Bring back Juice Newton to replace Dawes, couldn't do any worse at this stage.

    I wouldn't trade out pick 4 and Howe for Aish and their second rounder.

    Sounds good for Prestia though.

    Could there be a more apt surname in the AFL? The guy is a terrible kick.

    he's a kid I was interested in up grabbing in his draft year, as well as Ty Vickery..

    wanted Ty again over the past 2 years to give him a shot as well.. maybe too late for Ty now. he won't leave the Tiges now.

    Butcher has talent, & a strong hands. worth a look for a rookie spot.

    Not sure we would want him but also not so sure he won't leave the Tiges.

    Ty has talent a lot of it. he's starting to learn. but if he went to say the Hawks or the Catters from the draft, he would be a star now. Environment is a huge part of the development of a young players mindset. & growth.

    I have a brother who is a lions member and lives in Brisbane.

    He tells me that Aish has eyes for SA only.

    The rest can forget talking to him.

    They all say that it is a tactic to keep the trade value high.

    The MFC would be saying the same about Garland and Howe.

    See, I told you we were into Prestia. My source is one of my ex-pupils who is a family friend of the Prestia's. His exact words were 'we have put an offer to him and he is considering it'.

    Family are dead set want him to leave GC because of drug culture.

    Don't involve Jeremy Howe in the Prestia deal. If GCS get pick 4 for Dion, they'd be happy enough with that. Ultimately, they wouldn't get that much the following year.

    As for Howe, I'd be looking at getting another club involved in a three-way trade or target Treloar, but that's not gonna happen.

    The only reason I'd include Howe in a deal with Prestia is if we got another Suns player. Say, Charlie Dixon. ;)

    Not sure you did, mate. Last week, perhaps.

    • 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.
