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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
