I don't see the need that so many people have to take pot-shots at injured players.  Lever had zero possessions this round because he did his knee playing for our club after coping months of abuse from Adelaide fans for joining us.

O'Meara was excellent today - absolutely useless in his first year at Hawthorn.

All, these wonderful recruits haven't won them a final in a few years and were certainly of no help to them when we beat them by 5 goals last September.

 

It was a good, exciting match that went down to the wire.  Enjoy it.


If we are comparing veterans with Carlton, there's a quality element to consider. Right now only Gawn and Melksham are without doubt among our better players, even Jetta was out of form before his injury.

For Carlton, Murphy, Kruezer and Simpson are absolutely crucial players, and in two week's time all three will be over-30.

Still, no pretense here, Carlton's young onball group is spectacular, led by the current best inside midfielder in the game Cripps and the onball all-rounder teenage brilliance of Walsh, neither of which you could sensibly trade for any other player on offer.

I think a certain comparison can be made between Carlton and the pre-resurgence Richmond. They have a group of currently young or youngish players who can provide the core, in the event that in a few year's time they hit a jackpot for a couple of drafts and trade sessions.

Fair enough noted...just wanted to highlight the tale of 2 clubs

On another note Hawks have got 2 former number 1 picks & have won 4 flags since 08 go figure!

Murphy was terrible today.

From what I saw I agree. He seems to be playing not to get hurt and avoid body contact and his disposal has become like ours.

I really don't think he is that bad, if fact is anyone that bad.

Pretty clear...

We've had poor results trading, so why trade an average performer and expect to get something better??

He still has trade cachè by virtue of reputation and rare flashes of brilliance. We can get a decent pick for him and trade/draft a better player, perhaps in a position of more pressing need. 

My view is twelve months from now he will be worth less than we can get now.

Or other teams recruiting departments see through his "flashes of brilliance" and our desperation and offer SFA...

Not really the thread for it.  

But its more important for the club to persist with Trac and develop a culture and system of bringing the best out of players.  More important than a potential trade.  FYI: I would keep him as you can see its there.

A club in the 5-8 range on the ladder would go for him thinking he can help unlock their premiership window. Port Adelaide under Hinkley comes readily to mind. 

We can still get pick 13-16 for him if we trade now. Hardly SFA.

Its a tough call I get it but the right one. He’s never going to be the player you dream/hope he will be. Doesn’t have the right mindset. Col Sylvia Mk2.


Carlton you losers. Youy could have put the hawks at 2-4.   What a pathetic choke, now the Hawks will have their confidence up against us.

So he can get Port Adelaide over the line for a flag, but not us..?

I suspect Port will have learned their lesson dealing with players we want to offload - Jacky boy and Jimmy Toumpas!!

Possibly. But never underestimate a desperate coach under pressure to recruit for immediate success.

GWS is the other one. Leon Cameron can’t go round forever without silverware. Nor can they keep losing senior talent and keep topping up with high draft picks. They would take a good look at Petracca.

I think so. A coach under pressure in the top half of the ladder would pay a mid to late first rounder. 14-18.

Not seen in over a century of football until recently. I wonder what it was that was wrong with women that was preventing them umpiring, that has been cured now? ?

No female urinals,  and masseurs,  back then...   and sports Bras ? ?

the blues who have a whopping seven players aged 29 and over; they're not nearly as young and inexperienced as everyone makes out

So what they have is...  plenty of Cap space coming up,  to cover their special young players as they start to grow into AFL men.

 They,  are going to catch us,  with our shorts at ankle level.

  • 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

    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.
