Would prefer Jetta over Yarran too.

Pretty different players, IMO. Yarran would provide some fantastic run and great skills off half back, while Jetta is a much better one on one defender.

In summary, would love to have both at the Dees.

 

motlop has been mooted as one of the possible moves if crows do choose to 'match' the dangerfield contract (presuming it comes from the cats) and force geelong to the trade table.

Motlop would be a great get, if we could wrangle it.

I presume that is an oblique reference to a downhill skier who can't keep his feet?

 

I Think we should go after Charlie Dixon very athletic and takes a great pack mark!

yes, well sort of, the picture is an individual, who is sitting, in a canoe, facing down hill, on the easy slope.

...... we've had way too many of these in our recent past ; & this type leaves a greasy film over everything behind them. too hard to clean up after they've let you down.

please no lazy talents any more.

Pretty sure he is going up the highway to Brisbane on a big payday.

I believe Jetta will be at the Eagles next year. His old man has been saying it at work and happy to have him back. You could almost cross him off the list.

I'd be very, very disappointed if that happened. I thought his family moved from WA to Melbourne when he was drafted.

That would be devastating news and I find it kind of hard to believe. Although he's from WA Roosy has helped Nev absolutely turn his career around and become a very good player. As well as that, I've always thought Nev looks very happy and at home with the Dees and his teammates.

I think they are talking about LEWIS Jetta not Neville.

Oh, my molestake. Misread.


Watching Yarran play today....I definitely wouldn't mind him at the dees

Would take Yarran in a heartbeat. Apparently he and Jeff Garlett are great mates,

What hypothethically would we offer him?

Ok a second rounder plus??? a player who might they be interested in?

Our first round pick would be overs and our second round pick unders.

Yarran for Carlile in a straight swap is the story at the moment.

The Bombers are being dudded big time unless there are picks involved in that deal.

Dean Kent will be retained GUARANTEED

Yeah, on consideration, looking back on his 2014 rather than thinking too much on his unlucky 2015, absolutely.

A young small forward who managed to kick a decent stream of goals, despite being in the second lowest scoring team in the history of the 22-game format, that's a keeper.


Just a note of warning for those looking to land the big fish. In other words Paddy Danger...

None of the premiership teams of the last 10 years and probably further back (Brisbane being an exceptional circumstance) have won on the back of landing a big fish.

What they have done is built their team on the back of good drafting and augmenting the team with key players to fill specific roles.

As we are seeing at Sydney, the loss of Mumford and others forced out by their big fish recruiting is causing issues in the ruck and their depth. Can they win it this year???

If Geelong get Danger then they risk Motlop and others.

I think we keep on doing what we're doing, it's a slow burn but is starting to pay dividends.

Build the team on the back of the kids we've brought in over the last few years, look to fill roles (which have so far been in adding experience to the list but will broaden from this year on) and keep spending up on development and drafting more quality kids.

And Mitch Clark was going to Fremantle until th big dollar bill arrived!!

If Mick was still in charge, a packet of twisties and he'd probably take it.

A late second round pick?

He was even better in the games he played this year. He was clearly fitter and a little faster. He was exciting to watch and took the game on. He's someone we definitely retain.


And Mitch Clark was going to Fremantle until th big dollar bill arrived!!

...and how well did that work for us???

What ever happened to Mitch?

I agree. Although personally I'd class Ottens as a big fish. He was highly rated as a forward at the time and then became a gun ruck (which also highlights how nothing is for granted).

But the cats had already made a prelim on the back of youth by the time he came.

The last 3 flags have also been won on the back of significant trades - Kennedy, McGlynn, Gunston, Hale, Burgoyne etc. So as you've said trading to fill roles is certainly part of the list building package.

    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.
