Unfortunately Ernest, it's our lack of brilliance, particularly in the backline, that is hurting us. We seriously need some class and creativity in the backline, and Yarran can provide that. The way he is playing at Carlton/Northern Blues is not too dissimilar to Garlett. You can tell that he doesn't want to be there, and that will drive his price down.

I can remember a time not so long ago when Garlett and Yarran were the envy of most other clubs as fast exciting players. I could see that happening again. Especially if they were together again creating magic.

    Aish. And I say that as an absolute worshipper of his blood-line and believe he'll become a handy footballer in time. Just don't want it to be our time and money impatiently angsting for it to eventually happen. Wrong time, wrong place.

    1) Tom Lynch

    2) Players who cannot break into their current sides like Michie, Riley and Newton

    Unless they're from GWS?

    For those who don't want Yarran, and I'm one of them, I want you to pray to any God you believe in that he ends up at the Tigers. He is just the sort of player who will make enough laughable mistakes and cost the Tigers enough games to keep many in the league very, very happy.

    Do it Chris. Do us all a favour and head to Tigerland.

    Get a strong sense from their own mob that if Motlop moves it may be to Punt Rd. Would they take both?

    Yarran is an interesting case. Has talent to burn and maybe in the right environment could flourish again. Look how Jeffy has become a favourite quite quickly.

    Would rather Roos take a punt and try to develop someone who has pace, aggression and skill then someone who only possesses one of the three attributes.

    Would rather him on our list than Michie or Newton.

    Funny, cos Geelong think it's them or Adelaide, based on what Motlop says he wants.

    I dare say you know a great deal more than me Mach. Like actual facts. And that's consistent with what I've read. Just a couple comments from Tigers' players recently that suggested they knew the club were after him and there was more than just hope. Probably reading into the tea-leaves it too much.

    Steffaan, let him go to the pies, he can join Rene Kink in business there.... & maybe we could then grab Brodie Grundy down the track.

    Yes Yes and Yes, Yarran fired up and focused is a matchwinner! Much better than Newton and Michie combined!!! A giant Tick from me!

    I prefer Salem running off half back to Yarran. Salem will hopefully be a much better footballer than Yarran, and I rate Yarran.

    Save the money and give it to Salem when he's got a couple more pre-seasons under his belt.

    Keep developing our own talent.

    Stokes. FGS, a very average player that was lifted in a decent team.

    Matt Suckling - More style than substance.

    Luke Breust would kick 13 goals as a permanent in our forward line.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
