Apologies my comments apply to Brendon Goddard who i detest.

Bg played a similar role to lewis / vince with a young team

In our case i think it time next year to move on from old slow but composed distributors to more dynamic players with potential 

 

 

All good.  Thought you were being harsh on an 18 year old Cat B rookie by calling him a downhill skier!  I thought we only did that to our 18 year olds, not other teams!

Why not? He is a talented ball user, leader, a great size and provides us with some composure in a young defence. Former early draft pick that I think can flourish with a change of club.

Hopefully tongue in cheek

In both cheeks.

Wait, we took an 18-year old downhill skier as a Cat B rookie?

Talk about thinking outside the square!

Goodbye Lindsay Thomas. Your two most annoying acts were the goal against us a few months ago to pull the margin within a goal in the last quarter and the match winning spoil in Tassie in Rd 3 2016 that a small forward had no right to do. Amongst other things.

Surprised there weren’t that many retirement announcements today from players from clubs that are finished for the year.

Might want to get through Mad Monday first.

PORT ADELAIDE 

In:

Out: Emmanuel Irra (delisted)  Lindsay Thomas (retired) Jimmy Toumpas (delisted)

The end of an Irra at Port Adelaide.


Tough game footy.

Michael Barlow delisted after game on saturday against the Cats, having 35 possessions.

Would we have any interest in Kieran Collins, the young backman delisted by Dogs today?  He is 20 and 194 cms.

That's funny, you have the same line used by the AFL a few hours ago. What a coincidence.

You have no idea about how much power Gillon McLauchlan wields in the AFL. He can do anything including predict my pearls of wisdom ?

No. He’s too slow for AFL.

The general view is that there will be a deal done with Carlton but it’s unlikely that the Blues would give away their first pick.

Well if they don't give their first pick, what do they have to get a player who is contracted for 2 more years?

Also, he is obviously being offered plenty by Carlton, but other clubs would surely match that, why them?  He also wanted to return to Perth last year. I don't understand this.

You wouldn’t give pick #1 in the draft for Mitch McGovern but there is the matter of the priority pick that Carlton originally  didn’t really want because chasing priority picks is indicative of a lousy culture. 

If the Blues are given a priority pick after the first 10 picks that should do it for them. Adelaide might have to package up that pick with something else to trade down to the early pick that would deliver them one of those SA young guns.

Who can guess why he would no longer go back to WA? All I know is once upon a time, a bloke called Mitch Clark who wanted to go home from Brisbane to Fremantle and somehow, he ended up at Melbourne.

Talk is that PP's will be after first round. That wouldn't do it for McGovern.

That’s “talk” and it’s possibly reasonable in Carlton’s situation (although even that flies in the face of the precedent the AFL twice set a few years ago in refusing to give PP’s to the MFC when it had a worse record than the Blues) but there’s the AFL’s canary in the mine which is the competition’s basket case - Gold Coast. 

The AFL is desperate to save the Suns and the competition from the embarrassment of multiple 100 point floggings so it will try its hardest to help them. It wouldn’t surprise me therefore that they might decide to hand out PP’s this year after pick 10 or even earlier.

Would Carlton do Pick 1 for McGovern and Adelaide's Pick 7, or whatever it is?

 

Hugh Goddard delisted by Saints. I really thought this guy was going to be a very good player, but was cruelled by injuries.

Think he will be picked up by another club.

Stunned by that. He played a fantastic game a few weeks back for Sandringham.

I thought he was going to get a promotion to the Saints seniors, not the flick.

Could it be another case of proposed rookie listing?

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

    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.
