Oh right, I didn’t realise. I watched him play once and he was marking everything but ended up with 5 behinds or something similar. Knows how to find the ball for sure

He recently signed for 2 years with Freo last week. This thread  should be closed.

    You'd have to feel for Lobb - requesting a trade 2 years in a row... must be difficult to work hard for your employer week in week out as a by-product.

    I don't he signed a contract honor it. I am tired of these players who want to leave contracts early. Same applies to clubs like Collingwood.

    Tarryn Thomas ✅ 

    His back half of 2021 was elite once he was moved into the midfield. As classy as they come.

    Really fell away in 2022 form-wise and was also dealing with some personal issues.

    Hope we’re having discussions with his management as I think with a fresh start he would be a great fit for the Dees.

    This came up on my FB page. We are dealing with the club that has the lowest to offer us for LJ. Where as WC have so much more in draft capital.

    Freo will get picks from the trade out of Acres, Logue, Lobb and Tucker. Dees should demand a top 10 pick from Freo (which they need to trade up using the Logue trade packaged with pick 13) and their 2023 1st round pick.

    DubDee was talking about Ollie Henry who has asked to be traded from Collingwood to Geelong. 

    This thread should not be closed.

    So:

    OUT: Mitch Brown / Majak / Rosman / Hunt / Bedford

    IN: Gundy  / Freo Picks x 1 ( 1 will be future first) so unless others.. rest will be draft haul not trade haul? 

    Disappointed if that's it.

    Absolutely [censored] poor. These kids all want to be pick one but play for successful club. Well that’s not how the system works. Where is the resilience? 
    This guy won’t make it unless he grows up. 

    Exactly what they said about Einstein, Jagger and Zuckerburg. So the kid is obviously no chance.

    I could live with this (needs more balancing):

    Logue, Tucker to North

    Thomas to Melb

    Freo's first pick to Melb

    Jackson to Freo

    All the people sooking we aren't linked to 700 players like Essendon are every year need to get a grip. Our club does things quietly and diligently. I have no doubt there are other players we are looking at but not telling the media about.

    High quality user by foot. Likes the physical stuff and was right up there in f50 tackles last year and good at winning the ball at stoppages. He and Tracc rotating between mid/fwd would be terrific.

    Alternatively could play out of defence for us too.

    Thomas and Langdon could practice their contact drills on the same side.

    It's a no from me on Thomas. He hits targets. Will take years to teach him to kick it over the head of BBB. 

    Can anyone remember if Thomas and BBB played together at 🦘and if so did they “click”?

    As long as we dont stand still for another year. We Won a flag and added Luke Dunstan. We need to keep getting better players in. But i hope and think you are probably right about the club not leaking which is a very good sign.

    The only thing that's clicked at Norf for 23 year years are pickle jars and bra straps.

    It's hard to go to the trade and draft at the the same time unless there's a FA you want.  Look at Richmond, they're going to wipe out two drafts for Taranto and Hopper.

    Go and look at his draft profile and his strengths and weaknesses and the reason he went as high as he did. 

    He has smarts in spades, he just needs a defined role. 

    If ANB can play half forward, Jordan and Brayshaw on a wing then I'm sure a previous number 3 draft pick can learn to play a position.

    I'd have him in our midfield rotation as is anyway. He can compete with Sparrow and Harmes for that spot over summer. 

    More competition for spots and lifts the standards of those he'd be competing with. 

    His exposed form at AFL/VFL level is more relevant than his draft position. Just has not shown much at AFL level.

    Random question, can't find the trade tracker on the afl website. Are they not doing one this year? Was, generally speaking, a pretty good way to easily keep track of movements but can only see links to the trade articles as they happen.

    Yeahbdont think they're doing it this year. I'm pretty sure that's the same as thr national draft as well on draft night.

    Can't see it either. The AFL site seems to have gotten rid of anything useful this year.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
