Are Salem/Tyson in the same position as Toumpas in regards to next years upcoming output? I mean, touch wood but if they're free of injury but don't step up and fill their role and position with some consistent football, they may need to be re-considered?

Drunk?

 

Cook, Watts, Molan - we don't have a good track record with reaching for KPF's.

Hogan was different as the kid is a beast.

He's also different because the club he is developing around is not the complete muppet show that it was for those other three

So maybe we WILL have a better track record from now on

I know the Curnows very well. Charlie, excluding bias, is a very good footballer. I think whoever has pick 5 though might beat us to him, sadly.

Would be amazing pickup....

I am led to believe the Curnows are actually Melbourne supporters?

Let's trade out Hogan and Brayshaw too.


Viney is too short to make it at AFL level too. Wait for the next delistings.

Yes, because anyone who show any hesitation or displeasure over any decision the cluib makes is an emotional wreck.

This sort of crap is beneath you, Red.

It was a joke and BB would know that. Thought it was pretty obvious. Sheesh.

Don't joke about it. That was being seriously suggested on here this time last year.

I think those posters have since been convinced that he might make it.

So was Shuey but we took the 2 that are delisted,we don't like taking our own.

Tyson had a disappointing year. We're giving him license to have another one or two? I have faith that he will return to his 2014 form, but if he doesn't? If Salem doesn't get a clear run at it and solidfy his spot in the team over the next two years?

I'm just running off the Toumpas precedent here - 3 years to show something more than some patchy form.


I'd like to see the Dees offer pick 6 to Carlton for Dale Thomas and then when he arrives immediately delist him.

By his previous years standards but he was still a pretty good contributor and takes some of the heat from Jones. He was badly missed when injured.

I get it's a joke. It's just tiresome having to constantly see those who aren't 100% supportive of everything the club does get labelled as hysterical teeth gnashers who aren't thinking rationally.

Club decisions can be scrutinised. It's why we have this place I would've thought.

Apologies if my response was over the top.

Is Curnow a bit like Petracca forward who turned midfield?

I think he was a mid who had a growth spurt and then went forward...someone might be able to confirm if this is right. Calling 'Chaser'...

Seriously mate, there are very few parallels. Both Salem and Tyson have shown miles more than anything Toumpas ever did.

It's not a worthy precedent.

P there is a difference between teeth nashers and people who fixate on one person or one decision as then label everything from that as a negative. We need to look at the big picture of it. Long way off still, a lot of players don't want to come to us, the ones we had as collateral we couldn't get much for... we will improve and it will come from internal but hoping for some of the new guys to improve us as well.

GCS aren't interested in any points though because they don't have any academy prospects this year so why would they do that trade?

Link to the article in the Hun saying GWS will be using pick 8 for the points, probably for Hopper.

Tyson also copped a knee issue very early and seemed to carry it for much of the year.

Don't joke about it. That was being seriously suggested on here this time last year.

Lol that was actually discussed after the Essendon nab cup game this year..

wow this thread is getting pretty thin on topics.

Please dees make another move. Just to keep us entertained. More trading off second rounders or something...

I was told that he was carrying a leg injury all year and basically told to "suck it up".

He still had a good season, it was actually his kicking that was a bit off this year. Might have had something to do with the leg injury.

Good times.

Couldn't possibly be a a Melbourne supporter .

Salem is a gun and Tyson ain't going nowhere.

re johndemons - as they said of the grim reaper in the famous Python sketch - "what a strange little man".

Mate, leucopogon was talking about GCS, not GWS. He even says 'GCS' in his post

Apologies, misread it, even misread it after having it pointed out. Has been one of those days.

  • 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.
