"One of these is Adelaide key defender Alex Keath. Keath started the year in what was bordering on All Australian form before probably tailing off a little in the second half of the season, but still appears to be a quality option in that part of the ground", quote.

    Maybe so, but imv we need a forward line made up of AFL experienced forwards.  By all means add a few that were fwds earlier in their career or converted from other roles but our whole fwds have barely played 150 games between them in that role.  That Jones is our highest goal kicker speaks volumes of our need for real forwards.

    Pretty sure May would have made it in a forward role by now if he had what it takes.  And Keath for that matter!

    While a T-Mac II (2018 version!) might be an outside chance, the old saying "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear" tends to hold true, especially with most backmen who've already been in the system for a number of years.

    If we end up signing more dour defenders (that are unlikely to provide a genuine outside mid run and gun option) i would start having major concerns that this FD is struggling to grasp what is truly needed to turn a rocky tug boat into a first class cruise liner.

    Keath a big no for mine.

    Crows will want Petty in return, who I wouldn't want to see go.

    If the club let go of Petty who is 20 and provided a massive target up forward, thats me done with the club.

    I hope we pick a slow inside mid with suspect kicking. It’s the missing piece of our puzzle.

    With the exception of inexperienced Weideman and Fritsch, our whole fwd line is converted mids and backmen. 

    Can we have some real forwards please, who have experience in the role at AFL, understand 'forward craft' and can help their less experienced forward teammates.

    And while we are at it, an experienced forward coach wouldn't go astray!

     

    completely agree, but who??  they dont grow on trees, havent heard of many looking for a trade

    play Carlisle fwd? but he is a [censored]

    Nieta was a converted full back. Can we get him down at the club to spend time with our forward line?

    I’d say the recent rumours that we’re close to re-signing Frost would indicate that we’re welll behind the dogs in the chase for Keath. I think we’ve been chasing Keath with an eye to cutting Frosty loose.

    Happy with this if it means pushing May forward. 

    Can't agree Smokey. We got May as a key defender and that's where we need him i reckon.

    May, Jetta and Omac were the only defenders this season i trusted not to turn the ball over by foot. And May is super important structurally down back and can also play big and small.

    Maybe he can go forward as swing man at times but i want him holding our back six together.

    Goodwin said at the time we recruited him that we may play him forward, and it was part of the discussions Goody and May had prior to the trade request.

    You make a good point, I'm leaning toward your point of view on reflection

    He will be 28 at the beginning of next year.  Ha, ha - the club must think we are in premiership mode!!.

    We would only chase another tall defender if they were concerned about Lever long term which I doubt.  The article talks about May going forward so maybe they are concerned about TMac's foot. 

    If we want a fwd I we should go after a genuine forward rather than turn a key defender into a forward.

    Adelaide will want our first round pick and they know we will cave in.

    Walk away.

    I wrote the comment 3 months ago!

    Nonetheless, I still believe if we want a forward lets recruit an experienced AFL forward because with the exception of Fritsch and Weideman all our forwards are converted defenders or converted midfielders.  And none have much AFL experience as a forward.

    Neitz was a champion at both ends of the ground!  But, he had other experienced forwards around him: Robbertson, yze, Schwarz.  We have nothing like that fwd support.

    Different circumstances and Keath is no Neita!

    Neitz was a standout forward at under 19 level... he was sent back when he made the seniors and played very well as a CHB before returning to be a champion goal scorer when we recruited decent backmen from other clubs.

    • 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.
