sorta wanted a place we can all dump some potential names of interest across the competition to strengthen the side. just been spitballing in my head came up with a couple:

a small forward who tackles AND kicks goals, got McDonald-Tippungwuti front of the queue with 1 yr to go on his current deal, could be gettable given the two sides trajectories

wingman: either of whitfield or jkelly not sure about the getability tho especially with the money jelly is tied on and whitfields length of deal but maybe one might fall out to accomodate the other

half back: recently learnt jordon dawson was OOC and it caught my attention. might keep an eye on how he plays next couple weeks just see what he's like as a mature HB option we could look at. also eddy rich at the dogs has had some clubs ask the question and would suit a need but maybe less proven at the level to date

half forward: lipinski, too good to play vfl but at full strength seems to be on the fringes at the doggies so they can fit 12 mids in, certainly an improvement on melky in terms of touches and delivery but mayve less scoreboard impact, could also see harmes move to this role when all our side is availabvle.

    We have a small forward (Laurie) and half back (Bowey) in waiting, hopefully.

    I do think we lack another quick outside mid type though. Whitty or Jelly a bit ambitious however!

    Also worth nothing who we might lose, at least in terms of trade/cap currency in the context of this thread.

    One of TMac or Weid will be gone. Nibbler not signed up yet and there's been persistent rumours about him going back to SA for a long time (personally I think he'll stay).

    Part of McDonald's resurgence actually means he has okay trade currency too

    free agent is our best chance to add immediate best 11 quality, but no idea what salary cap room we have available

    zerrett from the peptides is the obvious target

    other options are less appealing on the free agency market, but i'd rank the next top five as:

    • marcus bontempelli (footscray)
    • cam guthrie (geelong)
    • jake kelly (gw$)
    • jack billings (aints)
    • jake kolodjashnij (geelong)

    would happily add any of those six named to our side, and would argue that all bar the last two would be in our top dozen players

    Yep exactly. Teams might come knocking this year as opposed to not returning our calls last year.

    Billing's one of the more uninspiring players in the comp but part of me actually thinks we'd get the best out of him with our players

    Zac Guthrie.... FFS might as well get Burns out of retirement, he would offer more. Guys a complete flop.

    Couldn’t afford Bont but doubt he would even consider leaving the doggies. I’d say from the list above that Merrett is the obvious target. 
     

    Whitfield j Kelly whilst would be great don’t strike me as someone willing to take a pay cut to come to us for some success. 
     

    our list balance is reasonably good. I’d like to see some recruitment of a young KP backman to succeed May in a few years. Maybe target Weitering, Maynard or Sicily.

    He is everything we don’t need.  He is no urgency in his game at all

    Yeah I've noticed that too. Just think there's a world out there where he could be a really good icing on the top type player.

    other than zerrett and kelly i think the others would be perfect role-players for what we want, but all will likely command far more $s than we would likely have spare given the signing spree to begin 2021

    of those ooc for us, only anb and weed and must-signs for mine

    i have faith that our salary cap management is not like the filth

    Isn't Pickett staying with Trac, I thought Spargo was as well. Full house, no dice

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
