I agree. Pretty easy decision. Petracca, Brayshaw, Viney, Oliver and Salem, are as promising as any young midfield in the game.

That is a relentless, tough and classy midfield.

After this year, I expect Gawn will also be a top 3 ruckman in the league. Whereas Sandilands is on borrowed time.

While I don't disagree at all, I am always conscious of the fact that not that long ago I/we were thinking the same thing about McLean, Sylvia, Moloney, Gysberts, Tapscott, Strauss, Morton... etc  *shudders*

Proof will be in the 5+ years from now pudding.

Thanks JTR, I was starting to get all excited, now I am depressed (figure of speech - not a medical condition)

 

I think the new group are, to quote Bruce "Special", and our best chance to grab a 13th flag since....... forever.

Back to Oliver...

 

Some rumors around that Dodoro (Essendon recruiter) thinks he might be the best mid drafted since the Hodge - Ball - Judd era.

 

No wonder they spat chips when we got him if he rated him that highly.

Very satisfying that we were able to get that draft pick ahead of them with some clever deals.

Remember when majority of people on demonland weren't happy with the fact we traded up to pick 3 to land Oliver who thought he would have fallen to us at a later pick ;)

In Taylor, we trust.

We will know well before 5 yrs. Within 6 months it should be pretty obvious where they sit.

Petracca - Oliver - Brayshaw  - Viney or all of the above.

There'll be none of that ragdolling nonsense under the new tackling regime. Parish will be lifted slightly, shaken gently until the ball is dislodged or disposed of and then returned just as gently to the ground.

I still think Parish will be a very good footballer and will follow his career with interest.

I look forward to seeing how both boys turn out in the next few years.

Yes, we used the new rules to our advantage and were ahead of the curve.

That felt strange to type...

I thought that they would be chastened at least for a few months.

New pharmacist in charge?

I'm sure there's a highly sophisticated and completely undocumented plan in place. Highly unlikely 'Whatever it takes' would be placed on the back burner for too long. The pharmacist's appointment would support that theory.

Apologies for derailing thread. Nuff said (here)

I view Parish as a Marc Murphy style player who will be silky skilled, move well and will be an above average footballer.

I view Oliver as having the potential to be a Dangerfield/Judd type player who turns entire games and does the freakish things.... Hope I'm right!

I too think Parish will be a good player. Interesting that he didn't play last week (from memory) and is not playing this week. He was just OK in their win over the Blues.

Also I checked on the relative sizes - Parish v Oliver. The latter 13 kg heavier and 6cm taller (73 and 181 v 86 and 187). Doubt that Parish will grow 6cm and add 13 or more kg in 3 weeks.

Another interesting observation Oliver is taller than Gary Ablett snr so is Petracca.  I reckon when Oliver stops growing he will be bigger than Dunstall.

I'm excited. Yes I know it is more than height.

In Dunstall's case width?

 

Parish is Essendrugs Toumpas

That club is going to get hit with the karma bus in every possible way

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
