I’d like to keep that money set aside for a 5-year deal out for Zac Butters at end of 2023.  

He won’t leave Port Adelaide.

    Does the Hawthorn fallout include Karl Amon looking somewhere else other than Hawthorn?

    He'd certainly be handy to pair with Langdon's run, Bowey and Salem's ball use.

    That would complement us perfectly.

    I suppose his foot skills wouldn't really fit in. Here I was thinking we need speed and good disposal added into our best 22. Apparently we just need grunt on the wing.

    Edit: Just to reiterate, I'm in favour of getting jack bowes, pick 7 and 13 and keeping gus/Jordan on the wing. But as I said, if the club is so keen on Amon, why not Hill?

    Soft as melting butter, you obviously like flakey players!? We are talking about Hill aren't we??

    Hey mate. Has there been any word yet on next years salary cap? I haven't heard anything which is strange seeing there's a trade period coming up. Where did you hear $600k? Cheers.

    Heard it on either AFL exchange or Sportsday podcast as ‘insiders say.’

    odd that it hasn’t been confirmed

    We were his 2nd choice but he wants to play more midfield which we wouldn’t offer and also we wouldn’t match the Hawks $

    Hill has looked shocking at the Saints, genuinely scared of contact 

    Yes, agreed and lazy too. Great potential if prepared to go in hard, but he doesn’t. Looks like he’s just coasting.

    Ok, now that the season is done there's no reason why @Grand New Flag can't divulge the contracted key forward that we are allegedly in talks with.

    Wayne Carey

    He was contracted with Channel 7 at the time

    As far as wingers go that wouldn't break the bank. I like Lachie Sholl from the crows. Quick, skillful and a massive tank. He is a bit light but we have enough brutes . Melbourne boy who found himself in the twos towards the end of the year.

    Obviously he isn’t great at the contest but I’m shocked by how little playing time he got at the crows this year (unless I missed something). Given their stage of development as a side I’d give every possible game to Sholl to see if he makes it. I’m not sure we have the same luxury, but if he was available free of charge he’d be someone worth a look at. He’s a beautiful looking kick.

    Averaged 0.82 tackles a game this year.

    That ranked him 555th out of 571 players this year for tackling. Of those who averaged fewer tackles, he's the only one to have played more than 6 games and be under 190cm. The only semi-regular non-key position/ruck that tackled less than him was noted defensive hard man, Riley Bonner.

    I reckon that's got a fair bit to do with his non-selection in the second half of the year.

    my crom support mate loathes scholl almost as much as he can't stand fish mcasey

    he considers the latter emblematic of their first round drafting which has been, quite frankly, abysmal

    2021: josh rachele at pick 6 (a winner)
    2020: riley thilthorpe at pick 2, luke pedlar at pick 11 (jury out on the latter)
    2019: fish mcasey at pick 6 (looks a bust)
    2018: chayce jones at pick 9, ned mchenry at pick 16 (both classique good, ordinary afl level players)
    2017: darcy fogarty at pick 12 (has taken burgess to get him fit enough for afl)
    2016: jordan galucci at pick 15 (a bust)
    2015: wayne milera at pick 11, tom doedee at pick 17 (probably their last good first round selections)

    as we well know, if you get yr first round picks 'wrong' yr up against it to build a good side

    Wouldn't be against it. Improvement on the Jordan / Spargo combo. Still wonder why we never put Brayshaw back to his premiership winning position at some stage during the year

    Nothing alleged about it.

    Absolutely not worth the risk. He is a meat and potato midfielder.

    Can't see indiscretions by ex staff from a decade ago weighing on his decision that heavily. Could be wrong

    The reason he is playing 2s is because of his skills and defensive pressure.  And in the SANFL finals when the heat turned up he was very average!

    Be better of investing in our list and getting a cheap backup like Phillips,  who I think just didn't fit the right age demographic at Hawks.

    • 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.
