Harmes and King have been on the rookie list for the last 2 yrs,perhaps the club needs to take a chance on one of them. An upgrad is possilble due to long term injuries to Petracca and Trengove. Vander got an update to from rookie list to seniors. Nothing ventured is

nothing gained. I hate to see long term rookies ( > 2yrs), train and develop them.

    Well Rory Sloane re-signed after his parents moved back from Adelaide to Upwey.

    Well done Adelaide, I guess. Bad luck Saints and Dees who both had claims.

    I thought he was gone.

    There goes one of my hopes. Maybe we can shake something loose out of the Swans , GWS or Suns. Pick 4 or 5 should be a handy start .

    Will be interesting to see whether the new F/S and academy rules shake out similar quality players from the Swans, GWS or Bris, or will it be smoke and mirrors by the AFL giving an appearance that they are not providing another leg up to the rugby stronghold states.

    Speaking of f/s. What point penalty would we get for Lovett.

    He shouldn't cost too much. Currently tipped to go late in the draft as it is, and it would be odd for anyone to bid overs for him.

    His father became a great player for us, but it was after he was 21 he started showing ability. His son may be in the same mould.

    They were talking about Collingwood on SEN. The plan being, Swan out, Dangermouse in, on maybe twice as much as Pendles.

    Great recipe for instability, I sincerely hope they go for it.

    When is it time to get in Swan's ear?

  • Quote

    He left the crows did he?

    It's this difference between "resigns" and "re-signs". Where's the hyphen, people??!!

    In Sloane's case, unfortunately the latter.

    Collingwood have the cap room for Dangerfield, their list management had been clever the past few seasons and I'm sure if Swanny is done the pies could strike a deal with 800k+ per season.

    Hawthorn simply cannot have the cap room for a top tier free agent.

    Apparently Aaron Black is disgruntled at the Roos and may request a trade back to Freo - if he was looking for more game time is he worth a look as a 3rd forward type for us? Maybe we try and convince him to come over with the promise of more game time... or is he just another guy like Dawes who shows a bit in the shop window without there being much behind it?

    Black is a good player

    That'd be crazy. Pendles is more valuable than Dangerfield (as good as he is).

    You're right in it being a recipe for instability I reckon.

    We thought the same at Sydney with Buddy but it hasn't really happened.

    The Pies have lost Beams and have Swan in his later years so may make some sense to have a go at Danger. I think Pendles would have to be up on similar money though.

  • Quote

    I think it was a little different with Buddy. Bringing in the best key forward in the competition on huge money is a little different than brining in a star midfielder, especially when you already have one in Pendles.

    Sure, Sydney had Tippett, but we all know Buddy is better.

    Does bringing in great players on great money ever really cause instability? I've heard supporters use that line often, but I can't recall any evidence of that happening in my lifetime.

    I would have thought in the professional era, most players would look past the envy of the big income earners and would be quite happy to have a superstar added to their side to enhance their flag chances.

    I suppose when you start winning it mitigates the envy issue somewhat.

    • 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.
