That's good he will fit in well with the rest of his team mates.

I’d be excited if I was him too...

The bloke can finally go on an absolute bender on Friday night!

We haven't chosen anyone yet.

Once again the club is slow to act! #sackgoodwin #sacktaylor #sacknorthey

But seriously, good luck to Jason Taylor.  His night(s) of the year where he gets to go on an giant easter egg hunt.  And word is he is actually pretty good at it.

If we do grab Jackson there's a case for being optimistic - Oliver was the same kind of deal. We identified a player we absolutely believed in, paid the price to get them rather than follow the implied rules of the hundreds of phantom drafts, and came out laughing.

Doing that with a tall inside midfielder is great. To do that with a ruckman/forward, at a time when young rucks in particular are in desperate short supply, would be truly stellar.  There must be only half a dozen truly outstanding rucks of any age in the AFL at the moment - the All-Aus selection is an annual two-horse race and there just aren't that many future contenders lurking in the under-25 age group.

If it works, the rewards are enormous and if Taylor & co believe in him, then it's a thrill.

Sorry.  Got a little off topic to the Jackson debate.  I guess my main point is - that's got to be a thrill, having that much responsibility when you believe in your own ability to shine through.

Shame about the poor spelling and grammatical errors.  Is Ben Gibson the work experience kid?

Good to see they've fixed the schoolboy howlers.  Credit where it's due etc but it should never have gone out like that.

Well yeah, because a few of the past selections have opened up the opportunity for them, by playing insignificant footy...

Gibbo is the young fella who does the interviews on the club website. He's usually pretty solid but unfortunately, he's had a clanger there.

Gone are the days of editors and sub-editors - he would have had 15-30 minutes to get that up on the site, so I'll cut him some slack.

  • 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.
