Still worried about Hogan, Freo seem determined to get hold of pick 2 from Gold Coast and it concerns me It may be 2 and 5 for him.

    Taylor said on the road to the draft podcast (and I can't remember the exact words) that he was down on this draft but was starting to find about 30 he liked and had a few in the naughty corner. Might not be the top end quality or the back end depth but the 3 picks in the 2nd round should all be guys the recruiters like.

    I'm also hoping the 2nd round is a good spot for those speed and skill types who don't quite crack the first round.

    Ling, Richards and O'Brien are of the type, all likely in the 12-22 range. Petrucelle might get through to us.

    How many times does this stupid [censored] rumour have to be denied, by Hogan, his manager and the club?  Sheesh!

    Its highly unlikely gc would trade pick 2 any. Its even more unlikely eith less the 48hrs to go hogan would suddenly request a trade

    And even less likely that the MFC would accept it. We are making a tilt for finals next year and won't want to be bringing in top 10 draft picks that will be at least a couple of seasons away from providing much in the way of benefits.

    Yes, but 2 could be used to poach an experienced A grade player

    It is too late for that, all the trades over the next 2 days are all in the works by now, you cant get a A grade player without weeks of talks, lever took Months to swing, stars don't move or clubs don't trade them without a fight in a day

    It depends who we've kept under wraps for the last few weeks. ;)

    Part of feeling the Hogan trade may still be an option and I acknowledge it is still only a remote possibility is that Melbourne , Freo and Hogan May have known about this for some time. If so the targets for those picks may have already been identified.

    Good luck to him. Port play a hard, fast, contested style of football. Jimmy Toumpas comes to mind. Obviously with less fanfare. Has he been delisted by Port now?

    Lever wasn't kept under wraps because he wanted to move. I wouldn't mind betting that was leaked by either Lever's management or even Adelaide.

    We're very good at keeping thing in house and it wouldn't surprise me if we had maintained contact on the DL with a contracted player.

    We'll see. Maybe, maybe not.

    Think of clubs that are more in draft pick rather than experienced player mode. Brown, Lynch, Smith

    Still clubs don't let star go easily, you still need to deal with the club, there is no time left to swing s big fish

    We don’t have picks 2 or 5 and North wouldn’t give up Ben Brown for either one.

    Assuming the secretary of the North Melbourne FC types at 90 wpm, it will take all of 36 seconds to draft an email saying, 'Thank you for considering the North Melbourne Football Club with your generous offer. We have given it our due consideration, but our internal research indicates that you don't currently hold the picks outlined in your proposal. In this respect, we will have to graciously decline at this point in time.  Kind regards, NMFC.'

    I assume you meant odd. I was replying to a previous poster who said we de didn’t have time for a trade, You offer a trade that gets their attention and it’s done. Try to keep up tradebreaker.

    No need to be condescending. Either way, North would still laugh at that offer, therefore a trade wouldn’t happen.

    • 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.
