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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
