According to Geelong list manager on Trade Radio, the Cats are interested in keeping lively midfielder Quinton Narkle, but it will be dependent on list sizes.

We'll take him off your hands for a cheap price...

    ofc they say these things to up his worth, truth is as a 4th year fringe player they're not too fussed otherwise they would'nt be targetting higgins to play abletts role for the next two years.

    Surely we can mount a strong case. If Cats grab Smith and Higgins, there is no room for Narkle to push ahead as they will be given priority.  
     

    With Hannan and Bennell moving out, we have an opening for Narkle to compete with Melksham, Vandenburg and Harmes across half forward.

    Could Narkle play wing? 
    Seems to be able to win his own ball and have outside run. A preseason under Burgess will give him a bigger motor.

    Yes. And I think a 3 year contract would give us the leverage. MFC  3rd round pick at 53ish gets it done. Screw those flea ridden old Cats.

    is he really all that and a bag of crisps?

    it's like the possible tom phillips acquisition; i just don't see anything amazing about this player; he can't make his current side, and in the case of narkle he reminds me too much of anb to get too excited about - he runs around a lot without doing much damage with the ball in hand

    i think for some part its not what narkle has proven he can do and has done to date but its teh potential to mix it up and add something different to the mix than what we've been trying in the forward half for the last two years

    From what i have seen i think he is creative and can play.The bloke who kicks funny as well as Ablett would have given this bloke limited opportunities.

    i just don't see it

    based on what we've seen over the last several years, anb's best is better than narkle's

    and i don't see the former in our best 22, ideally, so i don't see how narkle is making us better

    i definitely think he'd add depth

    bump, i wonder if we might look at him late if we can shift ANB and AVB on

    Narkle is more your Petrucelle or Motlop-in-midfield inconsistent burst from congestion player and ANB is a link in chain bigger version of Spargo, a foot soldier. Not sure the comparisons are valid, or if you can say you've seen Narkles best yet.

    If we had space for Bennells skill, natural instinct and potential, then why do we not have it for a player like Narkle, if he came cheap?

    Agree. Narkle is a good option and definitely worth a shot at seeing what we can accommodate

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
