The Cat's cut him pretty quickly.  I would be worried as to why.  They don't suffer fools gladly down there.  Would need to do some serious homework / background checks first imv.

You may be right, but given they're linked to half the competition's free agents it may just be they've run out of list spots

    They seem to have a preference for Parfitt over Knarkle to this point.  Parfitt recruited similar time.  66 games vs 10 for Knarkle so far.  Parfitt probably a slightly more inside bias vs Knarkle.

    Could be just injury issues.  ACL in June 2017.  Hammy last year Rnd 8 or so in the VFL.  Hammy in July this year early in the 1st quarter against Brissy.

    At this point he may have a future but is injury prone and, aside from prospective longevity in the game, probably not dissimilar to Harley in terms of what he offers us on the outside.  Harley obviously injury prone as well.

    Given our frailty on the field performance wise can we afford a potentially brittle rookie who is prone to breaking down this early in his career?

    Caveat emptor for all recruits is needed but i'd be putting a big red flag on this one prior to pressing the go button.

    Great, so important to develop a structure for the indigenous lads. They are a gift to any Club who provides the infastructure.

    He's been in the system for a few years now 58 and it's a top of the table one as well with the Cats.  Yes he's competing for limited spots i realise but the fact they wish to let him loose has to be a concern re his fairly regular break downs.

    Well they got rid of Josh Caddy so that's another one they got rid of.  Mitch Clark...….. is he still there ??

    Narkle has a bit of class about him but he isn't a great pressure player as a forward and not all that dangerous, he really has to rotate in to the midfield to be the best player he can be. Would we be willing to play him as a mid/forward rotation guy?

    He's not slow but no one would call him quick if it wasn't for his skin colour which is one of my pet peeves.

    Is he contracted? 

    OOC 22yo 

    Caddy is a great shout too, anything to push the current mob down and out

    While I don't think he's necessarily a walk up start to solve our other wing position, he'd certainly improve the depth there and create competition for spots.

    Maybe we could get involved in the Cameron trade? 

    GWS send Cameron and Pick 43 to Cats.

    Geelong send picks 13 & 15 to GWS with Narkle and a future 3rd rounder to Melbourne.

    We send Preuss to GWS.

    Any answer ?  Surely we are calling the Cats or his management.

    Narkle is a mid who rests forward, but hasn't been able to get on the park enough to play decent minutes in his preferred position yet. He's actually quite good in the guts, moves well through traffic and gets his hands free when tackled etc. He'd be a good addition to our midfield rotation as he's got good kicking skills and good agility, so adds a point of difference. Think a poor mans Shai Bolton. I'd take him on the cheap for sure to balance our midfield out more.

    Definitely a yes from me.  Would of been well coached & developed at Geelong & has a bit of X factor.  Won't cost much. Go for it.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
