New List Manager - Tim Lamb?

I thought an interesting comment from Tim was that he wanted another high pick, but didn't really have anyone in mind and would take the best player there at that pick.

That could be true or not, but he certainly keeps others guessing, which could lead to some more movement.

    was that Scoop Maclure’s Geelong microphone at the presser? Could’ve been any one of their’s really…

    I am getting pretty annoyed that McLure is referred to as Scoop, as that is actually my nickname and I have had it for 50 years, so he should get another one. Mine was accurate.

    Tim, IMO, has remained very restrained in answering Sam Manure's questions.

    I would have said "Sam, you've banged on about Clayton being desperate to get to the Cats for two weeks. If you'd listened to Andrew Mackie you would have heard that it was Clayton's manager who contacted Geelong believing that a change of club would be in his (Clayton's) best interest. Given that the manager would have picked up a tidy commission on a new contract, it certainly would have been in his interest for Clayton to move to Geelong."

    We have engineered 4 picks inside the top 12 in the past 2 years. For a club that has been at the pointy end of the ladder most of that times, that is a great result.

    Apologies if triggering but if it makes you feel any better I always assumed Scoop of the Sam variety was a reference to a pooper scooper

    - One of them (Duke) was linked to LJ (who we acquired by finishing very low in ‘19)

    - one of them was because we finished 10th this year

    - one of them (9 this yr) we’ve paid a hefty price for, both current picks and future 

    I think we are going ok on this front but I’d stop short of being amazed about how we’ve do it after ‘being at the pointy end of the ladder most of the time’

    Maybe.

    Success is not linear though. There are ups and downs. You have to make the downs count and I think we have done a reasonable job at that.

    Not so the ups. We should have collected another flag imo

    McClure's smacks of self appointed nickname syndrome.

    He definitely does have players in mind. Im confident we have targeted a player at 9, who will likely will be gone by 13 which is why we shifted our strategy to targets the dons pick instead of GCs.

    But like a good club we won't show our hand.

    I wish.

    It was because I actually was first with all the news for my mates. They would say what’s the scoop today. Then they started calling me scoop and some still do today.

    I even have a cap with Scoop printed on it.

    I'm not so sure that was the reason. GC were being difficult to deal with and everyman and his dog were trying to get p13

    The Dons had a need for all our picks so they ended up being a better suitor. Maybe others hadnt tried Essendon because in years gone by they have been so difficult to deal with?

    I think our team does a good job overall. .We get dudded sometimes but only if we want to do the deal and generally only if we dont need some of those higher picks

    Other teams know that we are good to deal with and I suspect that gives us some good capital in dealing

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
