Listened to the show yesterday while driving around Cyprus of all places, thanks fellas was most appreciated, thought JT was very forthright, would love to sit with him during a game and hear how he sees things, would be quite the education. Was it just me or did he give the impression of being most interested in Taj over White and Farmer?

White is only 12 years of age. Taj is 17.

Trying to put my finger why he has more interest in Taj....

    The most interesting parts for me:

    - Bowey is going to start with the defenders.
    Which I like. Confirms what I saw in his footage that his best attribute is his ability to change angles and kick quickly and accurately.

    - Laurie will be with the forwards but has midfield potential. Great spacial awareness and ability to release a team mate in space
    - Petty resuming training with the defenders
    - Nietschke always finding the ball at training (which I’ve witnessed). Will be with the wingers
    - Sparrow made good progress last year 

    Is Deakyn Smith still eligible to be added as a cat B rookie? If he is I’d imagine he’s a decent chance to get a year if he trains well.

    I thougt Sparrow was coming along nicely then got a bad injury right at the end. Doesn't really add to our weaknesses but I thought his kicking was pretty good.

    Well done to the Demonland team on getting Jason Taylor on the podcast - was great to get a few additional insights into the draftees.

    Something I found interesting was that although all three of the draftees have wing potential, it sounds like Rosman is the only one specifically being trained to play that area. This makes sense, as there's only one available spot (Langdon is obviously a shoe-in for one of the wings and plays that spot close to 100% of the time). However, combined with the comments from Mahoney in the pre-season, it sounds like we have a lot of players in the mix for one available spot.

    According to this article, Baker, Harmes, Hunt and Tomlinson are in the running. And according to the Jason Taylor interview, Nietzsche and Rosman are also training in that area. I've also heard comments about McDonald being a possibility for the wing. Is it just me, or does that sound like a lot of players being trained for the one position on the ground? Obviously some of those players have lots of versatility (Hunt forward, Tomlinson in defence) but my read is that the club is still pretty unsure who we want to play on that 2nd wing.

    IMO, you can remove Tom and Tomlinson from that list and probably Harmes as well.

    100% agree.

    Even if Tmac lost weight and regained his mobility he would still be too slow for the wing.

    Tomlinson at full fitness is too slow for the wing too. Which is amazing given we seemingly recruited him specifically to play wing.

    And Harmes, whist probably having the pace simply doesn't strike me as winger.

    To be honest Harmes is conundrum. Was terrible on the half back flank this year. And we have a surfeit of mids. His best position seems to be as a run with tagger but its not clear goody, like many coaches it seems, wants to use a tagger. When he first started i thought he looked a natural forward. Good overhead, ok kick, good one on one. Maybe he takes Hannan's spot, Or Melkshams if he refuses to tackle or commit his body again next season.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
