    Yes on the best days drafting is still a lottery. Some of the best under age talents have failed to make it at senior level.ย

    I thought Charlie was good late in the season. Doesnโ€™t deserve the abuse.ย 

    Fair point chook plus he is still only a kid.

    We've now drafted 2 more small guys to compete for his spot. It will be interesting to see how he responds to this pressure.

    Elegt, I believe, is Latvian for "negativity"... I can't recall seeing much of anything positive from him.

    Spargo is our best decision maker inside 50....ย  hes like a little quarterback down there.

    Would love to see him get more of the footy next season as whatever he touches usually turns to gold.

    Iโ€™m not a fan of threads for specific players and particularly players who are young and developing. Theyโ€™re under enough pressure as it is. And we should remember that players donโ€™t pick themselves, either in the draft or at the selection table, and they are reliant on the coaching staff addressing deficiencies in techniques and skill. If thereโ€™s a failure its either in recruiting or development. As long as players are professional, hard-working and sweat for the cause we should just leave them alone.

    And if we insist on separate threads then Iโ€™d prefer to focus on senior under-performers such as Melksham and TMac. Theyโ€™re well paid and in the case of Melksham, the application isnโ€™t there anymore. He deserves some home truths.

    We could do with a zippy kicker down back, especially if we ever want to move Salem or Rivers.

    We could definitely do with skilled users on the wing.

    We need multiple options across half forward to get Kossie closer to goal where he can hit the scoreboard.

    And above all else we are crying out for a handball receive player on ball to make use of our bigger guys getting first hands on the ball.

    The two new guys probably have a bit more versatility than Spargo. Laurie has a bit of extra size and a thick frame, Bowey has a little more athleticism. They can fit in other roles if the coaches aren't afraid to go smaller.ย

    Have to agree.

    Iโ€™m expecting him to kick on in 2021 after some promising signs last yearย but yesterday he regressed back to 2019.

    Slow, small, indecisive with ball in hand, can't hold a tackle and always in the wrong position. And I'm pretty sure I saw another set shot at goal from 40m that failed to make the distance.

    Agree,ย  Yesterday for most of theย ย first quarter his direct opponent was Caleb Daniels. Daniels repeatedly rebounded and set up many scoring opportunities for the Doggies. Sorry to say it, but if Spargo keepsย ย gettingย a game we are in trouble. 10 possesions yesterday, is poor!ย ย Not his fault that he was picked up by us but that is another matter. He was also given a two year extention. Good luck but I cannot see the value he brings to the team.

    Because we basically have nobody else in the small forward department.

    Compare with St Kilda who have Lonie, Higgins, Gresham and Billings. All classy goal kickers.

    Our forward line simply does not stack up with the rest of the comp.

    Agree but he has had 34 games for an average of 6 kicks per game, 2.4 tackles 0.7 goals. His long kicks struggle to make 40 metres

    I think the writing is on the wall, surely by now almost anyone is worth investingย  a few games to see if they can do better.

    • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
