Daw a possible target?

Featured Replies

I wouldn't want to pay overs but I think North would be interested in one of our surplus mids. 

 

As as for Daw himself I've always had a feeling he would eventually click and become a genuine player with some real X factor. Nothing suggests otherwise in his time ON the field anyway. Tall, lightning fast, developing forward/ruck that seems quite coachable. If Brown hadn't come on the way he had he would have 15 odd more games under his belt for sure. I'd love for this to happen for us.

Acceptable trades IMHO;

 

Straight second Rd pick

Hunt (Lumumba to replace)

Salem with a pick to go our way (purely as Melksham is to come in next year)

Kent (small forwards are overflowing)

ANB (he is too talented to fall behind Trenners once he returns)

 

I'd love not to lose any players but that's not logical going forward and I've tried to be realistic in what it would cost to get him here. ANB, Kent and Hunt might need pick exchanges to come into play as well to get the balance right. Thoughts?

 

No.

Why would we want a guy who truly can't play at the highest level. He does a few good things but will never be a very good player.

You are convinced that a 25yr old 195cm veteran of 17 games will not make it? Based on what if I may ask?

Happy your not running list management at the MFC...

So we aren't looking for a forward/ ruck at the moment? It's not a hole in our impressive depth?

Bizarre.

EDIT: He's rookie list material at best. Why on earth would we trade one of our promising youngsters for him?

Edited by Scythe

With a body like his, I'd rule the world. But no. Not him. Not for the MFC.

We might be, but I don't think Daw is the answer, and all of the above trades would be overs for him.  We would be able to find something elsewhere I think.

This is always the mentality when it is the club we love, our emotional investment in our players make them worth more than they are. He has been developed nicely, purely my opinion of course but I just think he will come on in a big way next year

We seriously need a decent forward-ruck though. Very few ready-mades around so either we spend big, invest time, or get creative.

Jake Spencer has him covered.

I would dry retch for a week long if we traded anything for him.

I wouldn't say emotional investment, more that you've mentioned 4 players who aren't worth giving up on yet.  Hunt, Salem and Kent have spent the majority of the year in the seniors, while ANB has been on fire at Casey.  

I do see your point, but I'm not so sure he is the guy to fill that gap in the side.

You realise he was rookied this year? Unless he starts starring for North, I see him being delisted at the end of this year.

North would be laughing all the way to the bank with all the trades you listed. Hypothetically speaking I would expect a trade for him to be more like our 2nd round pick for Daw and their 4th rounder.

And that would only be if we were interested. I doubt we would be.

It is, but how would Daw fix it?

I thought this thread was a joke but it appears you are serious, is that the case?

I'm not sure why North keeps him on the list but I wouldn't expect it to last too much longer, I wouldn't trade the boot studder for him and we don't even have one of them any more.

 

Never. Gets lost during a game.

 

Daw isn't up to it. Nice football story, but the fairytale ends with him maybe squeaking out 50 games at AFL level.

  • 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.
