Garland can't take a tall either. Height isn't everything in a defender. 

i didn't say it was everything. i was just pointing out that whilst taller than puopolo 186cm is not tall these days.

whether you were impressed or not garland was often played on the opponent's 3rd tall

Sorry Redleg this post screwed up, I would never try and put words in your mouth.

Didn't think I said that.

Im intrigued by Hibberd, probably suits us as an upgrade on a Garland type, intercept mark 3rd tall type?

Hardly a tall at 186cms. He is shorter than Grimes. Garland is 191 cms.

Call me anything but late for breakfast I have a feeling that Hibberd is going to breakdown ( actually my white witch told me) for a long time. Hasn't the footy factory GWS got someone we can poach i.e Caleb Marchbank.

its hilarious really

 

So we now know  how much manure to apportion anything Essendon hey !

The thing is I still despise  the AFL more. Dumbo will get away scott free.

LOL the tears from Essendope and Worsfold are great.  Nice feeling to be one of the clubs kicking them while they are down. I hope all other clubs join the party.

PD you were right to call me on my thinkings towards the 90's and woosha.  Quite seriously I wasnt focusing on those years at all and was late at night..but  granted ...fair call. i mistook the post for referencing  Worsfold's nefarious doings in general.( and later )  I still do.  He's a skunk

What involvement he had in the 90's...wtf  knows. History suggests many things. His directions in latter events in the Naughties however  seem to speak for themselves.

Does anyone else think that perhaps pj shouldn't have been so forthright about our interest and that hibberd might resent things being made uncomfortable for him?

Not if he's already made his decision.

Peter Moore, Kelvin Templeton 

The last thing we would want is to upset them .

We should offer Brian Royal as compo.


Melksham vs Hibberd? Hibberd all the way. Better player all round. Melksham I'm lukewarm on. Goes in hard, tries his guts out, but meh disposal. If one thing's been made clear to me this year (apart from how good we're gonna be in the next 5 years or so), it's that we need a little more pace and a lot more skill. 

Thought I'd paste a response from Nick Bowen on the AFL website trade chat today... Not ground breaking but worth a mention...

Question asked if we were chasing anyone...

Michael Hibberd is likely to be at the Dees next year. Dion Prestia also in Melbourne's sights.

Why would Jetta leave?

Keep up with the rumours Nasher .. oh sorry.... you're on Tassie time :unsure:

Bowen on afl.com yesterday speculated that one VIC club is heavily interested in him and the 2 WA clubs are sniffing around. A contract extension was almost done and dusted earlier in the year but the landscape has now changed with Jetta.

I reckon something is playing on Jetta's mind and he's put in near career worst performances the last fortnight.

One of Jetta, T Mac or Watts will be gone IMO. We always lose a player a year.

We have to turn our list over by 3 each year. Let's hope its Terls, MJones and Grimes for Hibbert, Prestia and Hurley, rather than TMac, Jetta and/or Watts. Highly unlikely, but a guy can dream can't he?!

You need to take three picks to the draft although I think a rookie upgrade can be classed as one. 

 

Maso if we trade in 2/3 we then need to turn over 5/6

  • 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.

  • 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.
