Has officially asked for a trade and Carlton lead the race but is open to any Melbourne based club.

Surprise surprise Carlton Essendon and Collingwood are the clubs interested yet we are not which is disappointing.

198cm key forward who has kicked some big bags in the NEAFL. Would be the perfect foil for Hogan and add an extra big body as Weidemen continues to develop.

Surely we are having a serious look at him.

I had an interesting discussion with a Carlton supporter on Saturday. He was fairly assured that the Blues would be getting both Marchbank and Stewart and possibly even one more GWS player who isn't getting a regular game. I thought that getting one player who can't make the grade at another might sometimes be helpful but trying to build your side up around what are effectively 'rejects' was going over the top. That's where some clubs appear to be heading.

Don't think that necessarily applies to GWS. They still have players not getting a game, who clearly would at other clubs.

2 years ago Carlton way overpaid for Jaksch who was a speculative player who probably won't make it and Whiley who was a reject depth player.

But last year they got a good deal for Plowman who's good enough to make it, Phillips who's a handy 2nd ruck then 2 guys in Sumner and Lamb who were young enough to fill out their depth spots given how much Carlton needed to clean out. So 1 good player, 1 ruckmen who are their own category and 2 rejects in the right age bracket.

Marchbank was tracking well for a young tall. He's certainly not a reject. Stewart is more like that, but given Carlton's lack of tall forwards he's worth a look.

Looking at his NEAFL form it's mostly 2 or 3 goals in the first half of the year then in the back half he kicks a few bags of 5 and then an 8 goal haul. I think you'd have to look up what opposition they were against and how much GWS won by but that's some serious goal kicking. 

I'd certainly rather have Stewart than Dawes or Pedersen but I'm really not sure what he'd be worth as a trade and what contract he'd want. If he has to be paid big money and it costs a early 3rd or late 2nd round pick (that we don't have) I'm not sure it's a good deal.

We beat them this year and they will be one of the teams we have to beat to win a flag.

Not sure we need to top up on their rejects, we've got a couple and one gun. Maybe we should look at targeting another gun in the next few seasons.

I wouldn't mind Stewart, especially if Hogan were to leave. But if the rumors about Hogan signing an extension are true then I feel he'd be low on our radar.

Word is he's capable of playing 2nd ruck, however 19 hit outs in 17 AFL games in 2015 when he was playing the 2nd ruck/forward role doesn't fill me with confidence.

I think we're better off drafting Darcy Cameron and picking up Luke Lowden as a DFA personally.

The danger is though that they are probably not getting the stars and gamebreakers that the early picks may otherwise get you.  I'm not convinced that there are genuine A Graders not getting a game for GWS.

Carlton/Silvagni are going all-in on the GWS offcuts.

Unless James & his father are the types to forgive and forget I can't see him ending up at the filth.

I agree, I don't want the players that can't make it at GWS, I want the ones that can.

We have a few that were from GWS and couldn't get a game and that's fine, but no more, I'm sure we have enough depth players and now we need best 22.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
