We have never been a destination club for the True "A" Grade players and probably never will be!

Plenty of very good players wanting move, none to the MFC.

If Michael Hibberd is all we can do I would call this draft period a massive fail!

And the tradition continues!

NUP!! 

I think we showed enough last year to continue to develop the processes and talent put in place.  I for one dont care too much about this trade period and I am not jealous of the likes of hawthorn and geelong.  For once there is true optimism in where we are heading and I dont think we need to do too much - they on the other hand are trying to extend their "window"  We are not yet at the window...the type of players you speak of will want to come to us soon enough

Simple equation: Good off-field culture + On field success = Destination club.

We have one part of this equation sorted.

Build it, and they will come.

Trade Period Day 2:
We haven't got a trade through yet and the world is coming to an end.

All of this 'destination club' rubbish is starting to give me the sheeeits.

I don't really GAF at the moment. We have a young core of talented players that will make us great without relying a jet nominating us. What relevance does it really have?

Build a bridge.

I guess he kind of makes a point.

Maybe we should put Oliver up for trade and see what we get???

....only joking 'picket', remember this time last year?

It was the work done around this time that got us the picks to bring in Oliver and the Weed. 

...and we have been a destination club in the past and look where it got us. Templeton, Moore, Diamond Jim.....the list goes on.

Would rather develop our own and cherie pick along the way.

Hibberd is a good get for us, but would you rather have Vickery?

We did get Jesse, mr pickett.

The Doggies got Boyd.  The Dogs won without being a 'destination club'.  We can too.

  • 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.
