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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
