The age saying it was Angus Brayshaw.

The same Angus that just signed a 6 year deal?

    The ball moves faster than the players. I'd rather the ball in a slower player's hands with quick vision and decision making than those of Baker any day

    But I too hoped TB would stay

    Pace is still an asset when it comes to defensive pressure and transitioning. But I'm not fazed by TB's departure, and expect Baker to be delisted. Would be nice to have some ready made replacements who have leg speed.

    I'm glad they're moving fringe players on.

    Keep turning the list over.

    GWS are going to have a sh*t load of picks this year with Taranto, Hopper, Bruhn and Hill out.  Maybe they'd take our future 2nd + Bedford for 21 and we could on trade 21 to Collingwood for Grundy.  That would be a nice deal all around.

    There's a theme here with our history of rucks with the players you've named

    All these players have been skinny raw ruckman based more on athletic potential over footballing ability. 

    This strategy has simply not worked and Jason Taylor needs to change tactic with this.

    And yet Brisbane's McInerney was toiling away under our nose at Casey, almost a free hit!

    We have a very good trading partnership with GWS. Hopefully they will agree to this deal, but it seems too good to be true.

    How so?  We have no more claim on Casey players than any of the other 17 clubs.

    #37 in rookie draft 2017. that's pretty much a free hit. and we had all the inside info, or should have had

    definitely one we let through to the keeper

    A future 2nd & minor shuffling for Bobby Hill. Surely GWS just flick that our way for Toby. Seems about correct weight.

    No,  Bedford isn't worth the same as Hill.  And GWS will say that too,  they might give us that pick but we will have to give them another later pick too

    How is Hill worth more?

    They are recruiting Toby to play, not for depth in their reserves. They are giving him 3 years. He’s worth a 2nd round pick.

    GWS have plenty of picks this year (after the Hill and Taranto trades they have 3, 12, 19, 21, 43, 58, 60) and no gun academy players so they have no use for any later picks from us

    So this means throw them away?  He is a late 3rd at best wich is 58,  if we are lucky they offer us 43

    Nah, he is worth more that that. As far as I am aware, we have offered him a contract. I presume a 2 year one. 

    GWS are offering more money and more years. He isnt homesick. He has been targeted as a need by a rival interstate club. He isn't worth much but its more than 58.

    I is out of contract and played 3 actual AFL games, and didn't nudge the side for the 2nd half of the year.

    Pick 70,  hasn't cemented his spot.  Sorry he isn't worth much.  Might be Targeted but they aren't going to pay overs for him.  He is targeted because he is a cheap option.

    Uh, mate... do your calcs again.
    43 is a 3rd rounder.

    Yeh at what we can pay him,  which wouldn't be alot.  GWS can pay slightly more and is more opportunity for him there.  

    The reason they are interested is because of his value

    I agree with the bold. I guess what we disagree on is what is 'much'.

    Pick 58 isn't anything of value at all. It's possible that pick 58 wouldn't be used at all. We used pick 65 last year on Woewodin as the last pick in the draft.

    A pick in the 40s isn't much. I guess we will find out soon enough.

    Yes and we can't just parlay pick 57, 61 and 70 into a trade for a second round pick for instance. Doesn't quite work that way.

    • 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

    • 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.
