Someone mentioned in another thread that we have apparently met with him. He’s tough at it, that’s for sure. I’d be happy if the club was keen.

An upgrade on Bugg?

 

We could do worse. I think he is a better option than Tim Smith if either McDonald or Weideman is out of action.

Any connection with him to the great John Townsend Demon rover?

Townsend is 187cm

What’s knock on him??

He was lighting it up in the last third of 2017 kicking 16 goals in 5 matches, including the granny.

and 84 kg and a forward pocket/half forward flank goal sneak.

If TMac or Weid go down we need a key position player to replace which Townsend definitely isn't

who said he was a replacement for a key forward...?


He would suit us down to the ground, A must have with our chaos footy. Tackling  pressure would go through the roof with Viney, Vandenberg, Clarry and Townsend in the same team.

Probably too similar to a lot of our other players to be legitimately interested in my view. 

A yes for mine.

The whole 'rest Spargo' debate got tedious last year but having another mature body helping him out with the one percenters will do wonders for him.

No thanks. VFL standard player that fluked a patch of good form at the right time.

This about sums him up. If it wasn’t for those 11 goals he kicked in two weeks, no one would even know who he is.

Yes he's shorter than I thought he was, plays taller.

No, he is a scrubber. Might aswell just re-draft Tom Bugg.

Don't understand the need to pick up spuds from other clubs unless they fill a need on our list.

And please dont say hes a premiership player.. he's the same boat as Mitch Morton, Steven Armstrong, Jonathon Simpkin as absolute duds who were carried throughout that finals period.

Wasn’t Townsend the 2017 hero of the finals series and Grand Final? Defs an upgrade on Bugg, yes please!

I know Jake as we are from the same town. Absolute ripping bloke who is from a great family. Plus also hard as nails. A massive tick from me.

Scroll up six posts above yours.

If Garlett is finished, Townsend is up for serious consideration. 

What is the Garlett situation?

Do we intend to get him back in the Seniors or will he play out his contract at Casey??

 

apart from a few weeks late 2017, his stats are pretty underwhelming. can see why toiges are delisting him. a no from me

Tall forwards: T Mc, Weid, T Smith
Medium forwards: Melsham, Petracca, Hannan
Small forwards: ANB, Spargo, (Garlett if he isn't retired)

Mids/forward: Vanders, JKH, ? Fritsch

There's not a lot of depth to our forwards. After the 7 who played in last years finals it's either T Smith or Preuss to cover the talls or midfielder types to cover the small and medium options assuming Jeffy is cactus. Obviously the draft is the number 1 priority here to find some long term quality but there's room for a ready made depth option. 

I'd be searching the delistings and state leagues looking for a crumber, but if there's not one out there I can see why you take Townsend because he's a reliable defensive pressure player who can do a job whilst the other forwards kick the goals.

  • 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.
