It’s an interesting one as longer term we need key forwards due to the age of whose on our list.

In the short term (2022/23) I’d still be keen on a lockdown defender for a Charlie Cameron/Heeney/Weightman type. Nev and Hibbo used to be great, and I’ve been super impressed with Hunt. It’s purely that the ground ball in defence is almost our only slight weakness.

Yeah I agree. A lockdown defender is definitely a need, along a tall kay forward (Van Rooyen is still a wait and see prospect) and we need a good defender for life after May. 

 

Would love McKay or Max King (if Choco can solve his kicking issues) to replace TMac and eventually BBB.

McLuggage on the opposite wing to Langdon would also be quite nice.

Cripps would also probably get a game at Melbourne... sub probably

Yes, I do not believe he would walk into a Melbourne outfit. You cannot compare him to BBB or even No 2 B

"Cherry ripe" is another term that is now ubiquitous to the point of being cliched.

I thought it was a cliche back in the 70's - as in a player has struggled the whole preseason but 10 days out from game 1 some unknown club functionary is quoted as saying 'He will be cherry ripe for round 1'

Look I agree that guy Cripps def a Sub at the D's but what happens to Bedford who is our usual Sub ? Well guess it's a toss up as to whether we play Cripps or Bedford..

 

Now let me see hnmm....... Daylight..

More daylight..

Cant actually think of any coz

U gotta fit the Psyche, not too many " we" players who I think would match up!


King

King

Whitfield

McCluggage

Daniher

Toby Greene

Houston

Mills

Gaff

De Goey

 

A Key forward is obviously our weakest point - Kings, Daniher

A second gun wing would help our side - Whitfield, McCluggage, Houston, Gaff

Toby Greene is just a once in a lifetime type player, the clear best at what he is

Mills could be a Viney upgrade

And De Goey up forward and chopping out with Petracca would be scary for any back pocket that has to man them up.

GAFF ??? NO FRIGGEN WAY KNOWN. De Goey and Greene do not in any way fit our culture.

Gaff is one of the best wingmen in the game.  And after this year coukd also be cheap as chips he woukd actually be a gettable target.

I get De Goey but he is a gun.

As for Toby,  he just plays on the line,  by all accounts he is a huge club man and everyone loves him.  So I think he would fit out culture.  And he is the biggest X factor in the AFL

He might be able to play, but we have LANGERS, JJ and GUS, and as such would not get a game

We need to manage our cap position, so players like Ben King are unrealistic.

Jason Horne-Francis should be number one target for 2024. We have the lure of being a top side and, with our cap position, we won't be able to get him with money. (This would be revenge for Scully.)

Next year, we should be looking at star veterans like Breust, Gunston, Issac Smith (ironically), Gray and Boak.


Barass - play him at full forward coz we are good at kicking it too him

Hmm, not sure how you think King is unrealistic but JHF isn't in 2024.  Both sadly would be out of our reach financially.

If everything goes to plan and we are incredibly fortunate enough to go back to back, I don't see the point in going for any veterans really.  If our kids are good enough to win two in a row, what would the lads you mentioned above do to assist?  They'd be playing twos on decent money preventing our next gen from developing.

I've had a taste of the good life now, in terms of ladder position and finals.  I don't want us to fall of a cliff like the Eagles so we do need to keep bringing in high quality youth and young talent each year to prevent that from happening.

Toby Greene is not going to happen.  Superstar yes but he's just as likely to cost you a final (suspension) than win you one and do you really want the drama of having De Goey on your list? 

Everyone raves about our culture.  Players like this absolutely destroy it.

Sadly, the only players I want (Touk, McKay, Cripps, McCluggage, Whitefield, Haynes, Taranto, Grimes, King and a King) would be far out of our reach $$ and picks wise.  But, one can dare to dream

Better wingman than Gus and JJ,  would make our team better.  Which is the thread

None of them are going to happen.  It's just who would make the side better.

  • 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.
