There has never been a shortage of clubs believing that they will be the one, that their strong wonderful culture will be the game changer, that this wastrel prodigal son can be reformed for the better. Most times the player continues doing what they did at the previous club. There are of course exceptions (Ablett Sr comes to mind) that make the risk/reward enticing.

Martin Pike and his x4 premership medallions also say hello. Beast of a player, on (and off) the field.

I seem to recall from his Open Mike interview, that by the time he got to Brisbane, he'd realised that he had to pull his head in amd Leigh Mathews certainly wouldn't have put up with any crap, which might also have had something to do with it.

    Rankine is an absolute jet. Is already a top performing small forward but also has the potential to become an elite midfielder. Hard to say what has caused his stagnation, but i think a lot of player development issues exist at Gold Coast. Remember when Rowell exploded onto the scene in his first 3-4 games before he did his shoulder? Since coming back has really just faded in obscurity.

    Needs to get properly fit. Apparently one of the poorest runners at Gold Coast. 

    Can't see us making a play for him with Kozzie, Spargo, Chandler, ANB, etc. all with plenty of footy left.

    And if we did he would cost far too much.

    How do we possibly chase any one of note ? We have neither draft capital or potential salary cap space .The only solution would be to trade an established premiership player and  to do that would be madness.Should just concentrate on those that we are fortunate enough to already have .

    I know we have Weid and Daw but I think that maybe a big young full forward is something we should consider. I think there has been a " Shortage" of them in the draft. 

    Given the ages of Tmac and Bbb, looking ahead for continued success in five years time we should probably address this.

    I think this year’s draft picks do this very well. And they are teenagers! Great to see the Dees continue to be one of the youngest lists in the comp, in spite of their success. I have great confidence in our recruiting strategies, in contrast to Geelong who seem to want to stick in the present with expensive recruits 28+. I much prefer our policy of recruiting elite talent and developing them. Geelong will remain in the 8 with this strategy, but won’t get past the second week of finals. 
     

    We are much better set up for finals success, which delights me as l can’t stand those supercilious bastards at Kardinia Park!

    We shouldn’t and we won’t. There is no need, great talent is knocking our doors down. We have the luxury of picking and choosing - a legacy of our success. Let them come to us, and pay reasonable price if they improve our overall strategy, but let Geelong and Hawthorn  pat over the odds for recruits 30+ which won’t set them up for premiership success.

    It's very rare I disagree with you RBG. But... Pike was no Saint at Brisbane.

    Imagine Patrick Dangerfield coming to the Demons in a last pitch effort to finally win a Premiership? That would be a huge news story! I doubt Patrick Dangerfield would do that though as I think he is very happy living down in Geelong.

    I think Chris Judd's grandmother said it's a chance.

    Maybe he could carry the water for Oliver and Petracca.

    i know you're speaking hypothetically but he can stay where he is. We have a youthful list that has just won a flag. No need for top-ups

    Fair enough, I probably wasn't following those issues that much/closely at the time.  Was just going off what he's publicly stated on the record.

    • 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.
