Depending on the cost I wouldn't mind Connor Blakely on the opposite wing to Langdon. Was/is a rebounding defender at Freo but out of the side at the moment because of defensive flaws, despite that he's a good kick and has pace, both two things we could well served with.

 

Langdon and Blakely had a huge falling over a very personal matter. Blakely instigated the matter and that did not go down well within the Freo hierarchy. Its no coincidence that he's barely played a game since Langdon left.

    Ah right, well there goes that idea!

    Good ball user of half back/wing

    Dunno who is available but that is what we need

    Small lockdown defender to takeover Nev as well but depends how Lockhart comes along I guess

    it will be interesting to see who is on the shopping list at the end of the year, both from us and for us

    viney (rfa), fritsch, bennell, hibberd, hannan and o mac are the only current 22 out of contract, which is a pretty small number in the grand scheme of things

    https://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/out_of_contract_players

    anb could help adelaide enormously with his 'buzzing' around the contest and defensive intent, you'd think someone would see some value in hunt, who knows whether preuss could command interest from someone, while petty you would think would be a pretty important signing for us given his youth and potential

    Ben Brown is gettable.  kangaroos-are-shopping-ben-brown-to-other-clubs

    Sounds like North will test the water and if Brown gets a package that lands them a 1st round pick (#3-#5) they will let him go. 

    I believe Barrett is a North supporter so he would have good mail.

    I post that for info.  Not interested in going after him.

    Edit:  To clarify, Brown is out of contract but not an FA,

    Haha, can you imagine @Jaded if we landed Ben Brown? ?

    ANB has been in and out of our side over the last 18 months and we have been pathetic. He won’t bring in any value from elsewhere. Bryce Gibbs & a Crouch brother have missed games at Adelaide and despite whatever issues they have with Gibbs, he’s a far superior player to ANB!

    We don’t have enough quality on our list to attract trades that will get us high value returns. 
     

    I think Rivers covers one skilled half back role, will need another on the assumption Hibberd and Jetta are in the twighlight years.

    I still think we are short on elite ball users, we need someone to balance out Langdon a little more than Tomlinson does

    Signing ANB to a 2 year deal last year was a very very odd decision.

    No to Ben Brown. He will be 28, cost too much, and while he's a decent player, he's just one of those one trick ponies I can see dropping off sharply.

    I like the idea of bringing in a proven half back, and releasing Salem up the ground. I'd personally be open to trading Brayshaw, as it makes sense to trade what you have an abundance of to fill a need in another area of the ground, but I'm pretty sure the club are keen on keeping him, so it would have to be done in another way.

    I see plenty of people asking for Salem to be further up the ground, I don't think he has the pace/tricks/size to offer much more than a decent kick. He isn't going to break games open, we don't need another mid-range accumulator around the ball

    Could not agree more, over rated on here and  doesn't hurt the opposition enough in my humble opinion

    I really think we should persevere with Hunt on the other wing if only his disposal improved. Langdon speed and willingness to take on the opposition and create space has improved our inside 50s a lot

    I hate Norf but I’m all for improving our lost. I’ll be fine with Brown if we don’t overpay.

    Forward of centre, he has the ability that not many on our side have, and that is to consistently lower his eyes and hit targets. If he is delivering the ball inside 50 more often, we are going to be a better team.

    Way too early to start another thread like this without knowing what they are going to do with list sizes and salary caps next year and moving forward plus they've only just opened the ability to talk contracts again. It'll just turn into either people thinking we can go and get any player we want for cheap (Whitfield) or another bashing thread (ANB).

    Can't get a game over an aging Grant Birchall.  

    Having said that, a fresh start might be the go for him and if he can't get a gig in the seniors then he might come at a discount price (eg. a six pack and a bag of crisps).

    I see the appeal in his short kicking, but what about going back the other way? If he were manned up on Langdon or anyone elses equivalent, he would be in serious trouble.

    Hannan and Fritsch would be well ahead of him for HFF positions for me.

    • 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.
