Apparently GWS Giants defender Caleb Marchbank has requested a trade with a number of Victorian clubs interested in the former top ten pick services for 2017.

Want. Asking price could be too high though?

    I think that's where our enquiries will end.

    Doubtful.
    Early draft pick, but he hasn't done too much to prove himself at this stage.

    I think that's where most of our inquiries will end during this trade period.  Marchbank would more than likely be a terrific acquisition, but with plenty of other clubs feeling the same way and more picks or players up their sleeve, I doubt we'll get much of a look in.

    Probably true... However, with all the good currency going towards some of the bigger names, and with us having a good trade relationship with GWS, we could be a chance? Future second rounder and a player maybe?

    Huge chance to end up at Carlton, but rate the kid and would love him

    He would be competing with Oscar (Same position, age, size).  Caleb may be very good but I prefer Oscar thanks and use any chips available for Caleb for another position player.

    Future gun. Would have broken out this year if not for injuries.

    Pass. I think our defence will be outstanding next year with the 2 Macs, Frost, Hibberd, Hunt, Harry LaBamba (yes he'll be playing next year) and depth in Wagner and Garland/Dunn if they hang around.

    We have other areas of concern - i.e. pacy mids, resting ruck etc..

    For the reasons you mention we probably won't pursue Marchbank.

    That said, imo Marchbank will be a better player than Oscar.

    Why?

    We have nothing to offer... Marchbank is worth a player or a draft pick around 18 to 25.

    Certain to go to Blues for pick 22 and 40 as a swap for Marchbank and pick 50.

    Top 10 pick who's been injured since he was drafted more or less.  Huge wraps on him though. 

    We don't need another key defender given the young group we're putting together down back. 

    On the other hand, he'd almost certainly be an upgrade on to of them if he could get on the park. 

    Depends on the price and whether he wants to come and play I would guess.

    I kind of get your curiosity on this one Saty.

    If Oscar improves at the rate he did throughout this year, we will have a top liner on our hands.

    If he is as talented as some suggest, I dislike the idea of Carlton picking up a top 10 recruit for very little. It annoys me. Still, he won't help their third world midfield (that still manages to kill us every time).

    Would like to get him, especially if we're looking to move on Dunn and/or Garland. Go after Steele too please. OH, and WHE :)

    Apparently the Blues will get a few more Giants. He could be one of them.

    Then we should go after him.

    Carlton supporters have been saying for some time that both Marchbank and Tomlinson were signed, sealed and delivered.

    Sounds like they had some inside information.

    GNF?

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
