Stocker, Jack Reiwoldt, Ratugolea. Might as well lock-in the flag for 2023.

For Casey ?

    Laurie, no.  Not consistent enough at VFL.  (Had 5 disposals last game).

    Bedford is excellent for picl 70+? but cant get the ball.  Bedford and Chandler would get games with teams out of the 8.

    I disagree that Bedford and Chandler would get games with teams out of the 8, because both are unknown quantities at AFL level.

    Bedford has shown some X factor at AFL level, but still has many flaws to his game, in particular his kicking. I'd loved to have seen Chandler given a block of games, because his efforts at Casey has warranted selection. 

    Whilst I agree that Laurie has been inconsistent at VFL level, I wouldn't write him off. He's racked up some good numbers when given midfield time.

    I know it's simplistic but the players we need to target are those at the lesser clubs (ladder wise) who are ranked in that 10-15 group at their club.

    Forget they're contracted just get them to say they want to leave etc. Second rounder pick gets it done.

    We won't stay a destination club for long... we need to deal like one

    Why would Richmond want to drop Reiwoldt? He kicked 40 goals this season. In the 21st century world 40 is a very good result. With a 40 goal full forward this year we would have hardly lost a game.

    I like that Collingwood have put their pre-Bali contract to De Goey back on the table - because men who treat women terribly are awful, but a lot less awful If they play well in finals.

    I wouldn't think there will be many list spots open for next year, we still have to open up 3 just for the draft so apart from Grundy  🤷‍♂️ , I wouldn't count on any more players being traded in

    You’d think Tomlinson Bedford and Chandler are all a chance of walking and that’s just for starters

    Got anything @goodwindees?

    Mate, if Jacko goes, which we’re hearing as of yesterday is still extremely likely, then Grundy will be a Demon.

    There are a couple of others that I’ll let you know about as soon as it’s appropriate.

    Some media are suggesting that it's likely a first rounder we get from the Jackson trade would be on-traded for Grundy. Do you think that would be the case?

    I’m in no position to speculate on the Pick exchanges that will happen if Brodie ends up at the Dees, suffice to say that the Pick will be influenced on the salary that the Pies pay & what Picks the Dees actually end up with. 
    My gut feeling, and it is only that, is that if the Pies pay $300 for the entire duration of the contract, then they would be wanting a Pick 14 to 18, which I think would be about right given all the facts, including the fact that Brodie believes he will be in great physical condition come Round 1 next year.  

    Dees are very fair & reasonable to deal with, so history suggests they’re unlikely to offer something unreasonable, eg their 2nd Rounder just because Collingwood are keen to make the trade and there are no other suitors at this time. Dees might like to offer next year’s 1st Rounder, however, Pies will be keen for something this year to help a couple of trades they want to do.

    With Melbourne been the only party in the race hard to think pies will have any barging power particularly if him going is contingent on them bringing other players in. They might be stuck between a ruck and a hard place

    I'd be hoping to play harder ball and not get bent over for a 1st rounder so easily. They've got a crappy contract they are trying to move, they have very few suitors that aren't full of p*** and the guy is also coming off an injury. 

    Oh yeah and did I mention that we don't actually need him? Maybe a nice to have but the sky isn't going to fall in if we don't get him.

    I heard this from someone, and posted it a while ago. Hoping to be proven wrong!

    i was doing some analysis before and i realised we only need to delist two players at EOS to meet afl criteria. for the purpose of the exercise i've nominated mbrown who has done his 3yr rookie stint and is 32 and baker who didn't play a snr game and has been on the list for 5 years. chandler getting upgraded uses one pick and takes bakers list slot. taking us from 35senior 5A1B to 35S 4A1B and mbrown delisting takes us down to 35S 3A1B. this means we can then change our list structure from the 36S 6A1B setup we had this year to the 38S (either 3 draftees ontop of the chandler upgrade) or 37S (only two draftees plus chandler) and 4A1B (could be 2B if finn emile-brennan goes all the way through. 

    everyone seems to think we need to make lots of calls and i get we want to find ways to improve our list etc etc but its interesting how it can be manipulated in certain ways if theres nothing we like. and we could have 2 rookie spots to trial players over the SPP and trial up to 6 players for those spots on a realistic universe

    • 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.

      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.
