That link up through the corridor and off half back. 🤩 Exciting. Ceiling could be anything. 

What's Riak's decision making like as a rule mate?

He's still fairly raw mate. He's missed significant amount of footy over the last couple of years due to injury and he's finally had a good run over the past few months.

His footy IQ and decision making is sound and will need some work but it's his athletic profile and raw potential is what would excite Jason Taylor.

If I had a choice between Andrew or Noah Yze I'm picking Andrew every day of the week and by a fair length. His upside is pretty high just because he's missed a fair bit of footy.

He's got some similar traits to CJ from Hawthorn who was a category B rookie listed player by the Hawks mind you.

Yeah, in those clips @ChaserJ provided above, he's way more involved in the play than I expected, in a very CJ way. Run and carry. 

I'm salivating at the prospect of a backline in 3-4 years time with Riak, Petty and Lever, and a JVR, Turner, White and Mac down the other end.

You're forgetting Tarion Ah-Mu who's shown a lot more as a key forward then White has.

198cm key forward/ruckman who's built like a powerhouse already for such a young kid.

His school footy performance and Coates League level form is setting him up well going into next year.

 

Mac Andrew commits future to Gold Coast Suns, inks AFL’s richest deal ever

It is understood Andrew’s new deal is for six years with a games trigger for a further four years, netting him between $12-$14m based on various clauses.

Big salary dump on the cards in 3 years if it all goes Pete Tong.

Would have loved to see him in red and blue but not to be. 1mil+ per year is a significant investment. I can foresee the Suns continuing to have a tight cap and shed quality players over the coming years to pay for the likes of King, Andrew, Rowell, Anderson and soon Walter amongst others. 

Time to plant seeds to recruit the likes of Bailey Humphrey in the coming years.

6+4 is an outrageous deal, especially at a minnow/expansion club. 

 

This one stings.

The trade/draft period where the AFL decided to change the rules. Andrew should have been ours under the NGA academy. Taylor and the team had put in a tremendous amount of work. The worst part was that it wasn't the first time they changed the rules on the eve of the draft. They did the same the year Jack Viney was due to be drafted forcing our hand to select him in the Top 10 while prior years the like of Gary Ablett Jr was selected at pick 40.

If we didn't win the premiership that year (and I'm glad we did) would the AFL had changed that rule to prevent us from getting him and seeing him go at Pick 5? The AFL have become a manipulated socialist system as the push for 'equal outcome' instead of 'equal opportunity'.

Glad the MFC is not doing that deal - way overs imo

My understanding is that he has signed a deal for $12 million over 8 years at lunch last Wednesday. It is yet to be announced. My source said he will be staying with the Suns. Don’t shoot the messenger.

I hereby decree that Heart Beats True henceforth be known as ‘Scooperman’!

Just completely incorrect.

The father-son rule changed to the bidding system in 2007, and Jack was drafted in 2012 with pick 26. Granted, there was some talk at the time about a gentlemens' agreement between us and GWS with regards to the mini-draft trade, but pick 3 for Jesse Hogan was a no-brainer.
While I agree that the NGA rules can be improved, this change was known for years before Jack was drafted. It's definitely fairer in my view than the old 3rd round selection - can you imagine Brisbane getting Ashcroft for pick 45+?

Despite growing up in Melbourne and with the bulk of his family still in Victoria, Andrew said he never truly considered returning home.

“Even when I got drafted I was pretty open with Gold Coast about wanting to get out of Melbourne."

Lovely thought but glad we didn’t get him on that kind of crazy offer — wreaks of issues and if it was MFC it’d be widely muted as irresponsible— but we were likely the club that made GC put that offer to him already by sounds of it.. still really angry at this whole academy balls-up by AFL and can’t blv we haven’t sought compensation!!!


This deal has more chance of failing than succeeding. Hasn't even played 50 games yet.

Could be anything but they have paid for potential only.

Looks the goods. So much athleticism and looks coordinated.

The future of AFL is African.

I've played Ultimate with Kenyans Ugandans and Sudanese here in East Africa, and some of them are elite in terms of speed, strength, and reaction time, and competitive as all hell. Really thought they could play if there was a pathway. Used to love getting the Sherrin out after matches. It was the marking ability that really impressed amd the willingness to launch regardless of consequences.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
