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: 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.

      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.
