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.

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.

Just nominated the Aints

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: 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.

    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

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
