I have heard Griffen might be a chance of joining us 

are there strings attached to this rumour?

Is he packed with something? ie: we get another player or pick with him, in helping them with salary cap spacing?

    I'd trade Max Gawn and use Watts in the ruck :)

    Maybe stick to Rumours rather than making up stuff yourself.  #nfi

    Not sure but just heard GWS looking to release him and that we are interested

    31 going on 32 next year with a year out of injuries. It's a pass 

    at his peak he is exactly what we need but would not give up anything to get him

    Griffin is being linked to Carlton via Fox Footy as part of a Kennedy, Smith trade. However, with Gibbs staying, they might struggle to come up with the currency they want. Pick 3 is very high when GWS dont have a first in return. The idea was pick 10 for those 3 players. But without Gibbs going to Adelaide, no pick 10 for them.

    What. Ryan Griffen? The guy can't stay fit or get a game. League footy went past him about 3 years ago. Even as an unrestricted free agent, we shouldn't take him. Wouldn't even get a game with the mids we have needing to get on the park.

    And are people seriously discussing a Max Gawn trade? On any level?

    Bloody hell. Guys, just take a break. Silly season is nearly here and we can do it for real instead of making up stuff.

    The general consensus amongst most experienced and reasonable observers seems to be that we have finally built a very talented and capable list. Sure, it has the odd hole, and it probably requires a couple of top line additions (eg, Lever, Gaff or another experienced outside mid), but it is fundamentally a very talented and well balanced list, albeit still young.

    With a good pre-season, our younger players having had another year under their belts, a better run with injuries, adding a couple of new players in the post season, and a better run with injuries, most commentators have us firmly in the 8 next year, if not higher.

    Culturally, Goodwin, McCartney and co seems also to be taking the core of this group in the right direction. The challenge will probably ultimately be keeping the core of this group together.

    In this context, I find it frustrating to read posts such as trade Gawn particularly given that we've just delisted Spencer and there is no sensible plan as to how we'd fill that void. It's as though we won the spoon again this year and everyone's on the table, just for the sake of it.

    In short, I'd like to see some calmer, more reasoned discussion. That said, I'm well aware it's a trade thread and everyone is entitled to their opinion blah blah etc.

    Gary Ablett to the Cats...   sad to say they will likely be flag favorites next season.

    He is still a beast...  can you imagine he and Dangerfield swapping between the midfield and full forward?

    Ideally they will have to give their 1st rounder for him and he then breaks down.

    They just need to hope the ball doesn't get into their backline.  This really will force Menzel out I reckon he is worth a look RFA

    First rounder for Ablett albeit a late first rounder ... interesting call given his injury history and age... is Geelong going with head or heart?

    Will he retire if GCS play hard ball?

    Trouble is Cats traded their 2017 first rounder last year.  The picks they have this year are 20 (traded from Carlton last year), 34, 52 and 71.

    that is a bit of a problem as you say ....

    I suppose the difference between 16 or thereabouts (that they would have had) and 20 is not too bad from a GCS viewpoint

    Not if he picks and chooses when he'll play a la GCS

    Surely the suns would take a third round pick and run. I mean really if he retires they get nothing and don't even prove a point.

  • Quote

    Suns have made it clear they don't want picks but would rather a player instead for Ablett. Darcy Lang is the one they seem to be keen on.

    • 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.
