From John Ralph.

“Zak Jones is the interesting one. He always says ‘I want to stay at the club,’ but he’s continually linked to clubs like St Kilda and Melbourne,” Ralph said.

    Swans were keen on Vandenberg last year. They can have him and his busted foot for Jones. Vandenberg might be the better player, but he is not doing us much good sitting in the stands each week.

    Hnmm YES!

    Hearing its down to Saints and Dees now on his potential clubs for next year.

    Langdon and Z.Jones on opposing wings next year helps our outside run in a big way. Both have speed to burn

    Is Nathan’s little brother on the move? Possibly. Do the Dee’s and Saints lead the race for his autograph? Maybe. You heard it here first. #ETthetradebreaker.

    Saints apparently into him in a big way. Probably likely to move. 

    They like the Hawks are into everyone.

    I suspect a big part of it is keeping fan interest high by fueling speculation, i'm sure the Dees talk to just as many players but make more of an effort to keep it quiet than other sides who are happy enough for it to get out.

    John Ralph just commented on Fox Footy that we aren't in the race for Zak.

    Having Langdon and Jones on both wings wouldn't have exactly improved our DE inside forward 50. Both butchers. Targeting Tomlinson, who is more versatile, to bring in alongside Langdon is a smarter strategy.

    Saints don’t have enough picks to land all these players that have nominated them!

    Not a big fan for that reason either AF.  Often hangs on too long as well and gets caught a bit.

    Having said that, i agree in terms of versatility but wasn't overly impressed with Tomlin's ball use in any of his finals appearances either.

    His height & marking ability might prove handy when going up the line from HB and defending to a bail out in the same area but a tad concerned when the ball hits the ground if he's matched against a genuine speedster out wide.  He's by no means quick in the true sense of the word and imv you need a bit of burst speed in this area of the park.

    Jack Newnes might get picked up via free agency and Jack Steven might end up at Geelong so there’s a couple of extra picks.

    Langdon is a better kick than Jones.  Still not super, but I'd rather Langdon.  Plus he is fitter and finds more of the pill.

    They'll get a few for Bruce and Jack Steven.  Pick 6 will probably go for Brad Hill, maybe one of the picks they get goes for Jones and so forth.

    Might need a bigger belt Andy, lots of notches being added lately. #ETthetradebreaker. How does he do it? #Hejustdoes.

    I'll reserve judgement on both Langdon and Tomlinson and I'll call it 'the Melksham rule'. It has a two year age limit. Let's see how they both go.

    Agreed.

    Give me Langdon over Jones every day of the week. Way more versatile, gets more of it, and is a better disposer of the ball.

    I agree Langdon over Jones.  But I’d rather Jones than Tomlinson.  If we have to push out Frost, then perhaps to punt on getting Zak Jones might have been understood.  

    Obviously Zak Jones does not want to play alongside his brother in a final season for our Jonesy.

    • 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.
