Gotta say while Geelong did extremely well, it still brings me joy that they got lots of aging players and lost a 22 year old superstar. 
Go to hell Geelong!

They are good mates Mel

True that, but if you thought your mate was - though great to hang out with - not much chop on the field, wouldn’t you be content just to catch up with him at BBQs?

He obviously feels he has something to offer on field Mel.  He also might have had the inside running of what went down at the Crows with camp etc and the effect it was having on players.  Bit of a reference also to calm any concerns of the hierarchy.

Jenkins caught up with Scott when they were both holidaying in the U.S. so the discussions were well and truly under way a fair way before draft time.

I suppose my question would be, why weren't we having those same discussions?

What's to say we didn't Loges?

This is where, post the trade, i would like to see our media side get on the front foot a little more.  Connect a little more openly with supporters and answer a few of the significant questions such as where were we at with Jenkins?  Was he ever on our radar etc?  View on Martin going forward?

Not expecting full disclosure and giving up of trade secrets but just a little more 'give' to the members/supporters with a bit of an insight into what the thinking was on some players that looked like a potential 'fit' but we didn't go after or land for whatever reason.

The trade wrap interview with Mahoney made for a very 'glowing' assessment overall but gave us no real (new) insight into the FD's thinking/workings.  Just another fluff piece really.

You listen to Wells on SEN this morning he was giving clear insight into their reasoning for particular trade decisions/outcomes (Stevens, Kelley & Jenkins) including details such as that i mentioned on Jenkins meeting up with Scott on holidays and his thoughts on not trading Kelley out last season, the current non-AFL ready fitness state of Stevens including his mindset etc.

  • 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.
