Noah is eerily similar in terms of the tall solid build and the big hips. He seems to have a good contested mark to his game and I feel hes got similar traits to Jake Waterman.

Waterman was a useful big half forward flank with good defensive attributes for a taller/stiffer type until he suffered some bad injuries/illnesses then somehow came back as a powerhouse full forward.

Noah hasn't really shown the ability to do much up the ground and mostly I've thought what's the use of an undersized leading full forward in modern footy, it's pretty much been a dead position since the early 00's.

But right now Gunston is dominating, Jamie Elliot just had a career best year, Jezza has been moved back to full forward and for us Melksham is our best path to goal.

7 goals in a final doesn't hurt but overall I think footy has shifted in a way that makes Noah's skillset look more appealing and if he doesn't make it as a forward I reckon you'd have a good look at him down back.

    Noah looked really good on the weekend, albeit against fairly ordinary opposition with little pressure coming out of the middle.

    My concern is how he would fare against AFL level opposition in a senior side where we almost never hit a leading target on the chest.

    That said, I'd be more than happy to pay McAdam out and give Yze a rookie spot instead.

    Ordinary opposition??? Um it was a final, not like playing vs Old Kent Road magoos

    I remember our recruiting team was addressing future father son selections at a function. They didn’t mention Noah. Someone asked why and the response was, he has talent and could become an AFL player but it would have to be as a power forward. They also said that his focus, at the time, wasn’t purely on AFL so his development was behind his peers.

    I had a loose connection to Caulfield Grammar at the time and asked about Noah’s abilities and they agreed that he was talented but not sure what he wanted or was going to do.

    On that basis, his rate of improvement this year is not too surprising and there should be a lot more improvement to come. He has a fanatic set shot routine and is smart. Worth a roll of the dice I’d say.

    He didn't play firsts in year 11, which is unusual for someone with his background. Lovely kid though.

    He might be the new J.Smith , a medium forward capable of kicking goals.

    Smith's value came from his explosiveness and speed. Noah is a smarter player, a more than natural footballer, but lacks the explosiveness and speed. They are important attributes in a mid sized forward I reckon.

    I don't think we'll go down the Noah path.

    It’s not for the faint of heart.

    Could be epic.

    • 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.
