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.

    surely we gotta call Narkle’s manager right now 

     

    cats want Smith and Higgins and Cameron 
     

    we have $$ and a HFF space available 

    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.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
