Weideman 1 goal in the final 4 games, a terrible effort.  Has no urgency.

T Mac is finished.

Luke Jackson may or may not be a key forward but hes still a teenager either way.

Mitch brown is the best tall forward on our list as he showed today and hes 30.

 

We need to recruit a gun KPF this trade period or 2021 will be another waste of everyones time.

 

Probably a stretch to say he’s going to be a gun, but really liked Petty forward. If he recovers I would throw him forward next year.

Yes, Petty has real promise (after a terrible start). But I suspect its down back.

Certainly need more forward potency - more so than midfielders (about whom people are obsessed).

We have a lot of trade/draft threads where we all get to express our opinion on our biggest needs. But whatever.

That was easily Brown's best game for his time with us and among his best of his career.  He has had a scattering of very good games over the years and an interest patch of great form late in 2016. The main effect I think that effort will have is to increase the chances of McDonald being traded, but by the same token, Brown isn't about to become a standing heavy forward target for us, even short term.

Preuss is a big body but doesn't seem to have the 'presence' we'd want.

The problem is clearly real, but the solution isn't obvious.  I wouldn't trust any of the potentially tradeable 'star' key forwards to fill the hardworking and strong bodied slot we need.  Not Daniher, not Cameron, not Brown.

Where are we going to get our Cameron Mooney?

Meanwhile, just for a laugh at beautiful irony, we are very much hoping that Jesse Hogan kicks a bag to put as in finals.

 

The Weid will be alright struggling a bit ATM but at least he is bringing it to ground. Will be better with Jackson in the side.


Jackson and Petty weren't playing today, let's just see what they can do ...

Weid was very strong in the contest today and has had a good year.

I agree. Wouldn't start a thread about it though. 

why not?

Its literally our biggest need

weid was [censored] weak today, slow, continuously outmarked and unable to bring the ball to ground

What are our options?

TMac comes good and we keep him

Ben Brown - good lead and overhead mark

Jesse Hogan - get him Burgess fit and back amongst his mates

Jeremy Cameron - expensive and question on value for money

Jeremy Finlayson - v similar to Weideman

Any others?

You have my vote it is easily our most pressing need. Easy to say but they don't grow on trees sadly.

He has not had a strong year! 

Do you actually watch the games?

He is starting to look like a dud in my opinion.

No craft or footy intelligence cannot get near the ball can't lead and has a very weak body for a man of his size

I'm not sure he has the stomach for the contest

Try opening your eyes when watching the game. Might help

How old is Brown? 

Jezza would demand too much coin. 

Finlayson just signed a contract. 

This is the year to get one. 

With daniher, brown and Cameron all available this is really a chance to pounce. 

Cameron is the one I would be going hard for.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
