The Please Don't Recruit Him Thread

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.

Nathan Vardy.

Heffernan

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.

Matthew Stokes


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 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.
