Potentially could come cheapish via a third rounder. Would love to see him at the Dees IF a suitable deal could be negotiated. Mid twenties, mature body and can play tall and could be a suitable replacement for Dawes (if he were to leave). 

 

Would rather him over Majak IMO.

    No thanks.  He is a forward and nothing else.  If we are to bring in another tall it would be a forward/ruck to give Gawn some support.

    We have Hogan, Watts, Weideman and Hulett who has had a very good debut VFL season.

    Don't see where Black fits in? He'd be better off somewhere like Essendon or even Hawthorn given their uncertainty with Roughead.

    Black would be lucky to get a game at Casey let alone for us

    If we were to pinch a roo I'd take mason wood... black is VFL grade

    I see what you're saying but I'd rather we gave someone a chance via the draft. We've picked up some good late picks in the past and Aaron Black appears to have peaked in his development, besides, I don't see where he fits in the team. Not worth the punt imo.

    Even if he was half-decent, we don't need his type at all really.
    Petracca, Watts, Hulett, VDB, potentially Harmes -- all jostling for the same spots.
    Even Joel Smith & Maynard long term.

    Just not even worth using up a list spot.

    Can't believe some of the names that are dragged up as potential recruits. Aaron Black - FMD!

    I get annoyed by it too, but that's what this board is for, so you can't really argue with it too much.

    Aaron Black is everything our club doesn't need though - with the position we are in, we should be recruiting players who we believe can be best 22, or at least best 25.  Aaron Black isn't someone who'll do that.

    Sorry Aaron not interested.

    Was an interesting prospect as a junior given his size and aggression. Fast forward to now and he is just another player struggling to crack into a senior side.

    If he was 19 you would take the punt. He will be 26 to start next season and hasn't done much with his 50 odd games since being drafted.

    Freo can have him. I would pass.

    I think it's time that we went past going for players who have been badly found wanting at other clubs. We surely have enough KPF's on our list at the moment and if we wanted more then I would be looking at the likes of  Casey's Tim Smith or Declan Keilty who would appear to be performing better at that level than Black ... 

    or even the Time Lord, Tom Baker who stepped in direct from the Development League last week and kicked three goals for the Scorpions. 

    There must be plenty of others around the place with more potential than Black who has been around for years and can't get a game on what appears to be (we hope) a sinking ship.

    I think we will look for another key forward and back for that matter, together with another ruck. However I agree with you, that in our current position, we don't need to look at failures at other clubs, but rather players who might have not been given opportunities, state league players who have proved themselves worthy of consideration, or young draftees.

    I don't think weed to be a superannuation club.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
