I think Tom Mitchell is more of a chance than Kennedy and Hanneberry. Was subbed on more than 1 occasion by Longmire this year.

Mitchell surely wants back to Victoria. Melksham is tough, can kick a goal, and Goody has seen him up close.

Still need outside run though.

    Another thread where people lose their mind and we end up signing no 'big fish'. It's always good to imagine though!

    Does he wear a leatherjacket?

    I think Selwood could be a bit of a roughy to end up with us.

    Why do we assume there's going to be a big signing ? Just because Roos says we will target A grade mids doesn't mean will get one... Just like last year, was no'one

    I think we are genuinely in to JOM and he's every chance to leave the GC if they continue to stagnate and have associated issues. I just can't see GC letting him go this year nor am I convinced we'd be able to land him.

    The silence from the club is intriguing but if we do land someone worthwhile, the silence will be further indication that the club is now a professional tight knit organization. Both on the football side and admin side. No leaks, no-one feeding the media with [censored] bits. We are no longer a laughing stock. We have had a year where the general impression is that this is now a tight lipped club going about its job off creating a long-term viable footy club. We have come a long way thanks to those now in charge.

    There's is no rumoured "big fish". It's just a hunch from a journalist.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
