Agreed, we won't get or want Darling.ย

I think we'll be able to find a spot for him in our forward half just quietly.

McVee May Lever

Salem Tomlinson Rivers

Langdon Oliver Hunterย 

Petracca Petty Fritschย 

Pickett JVR Reid

Gawn Viney Sparrow

Brayshaw Neal-Bullen McAdam Bowey

Smith or Howes for sub.

Chandler misses out.ย

Spargo, Chandler, ANB, Hunter and Smith for starters.

Hibbo and JJ who have gone.

2 drafts since the 21 flag, which trade deals have improved our list?

2021- Dunstan x 5 games retiredย 

2022- ย Grundy gone, ย Schache x 2 games , Hunter only player getting a regular gameโ€ฆ

How has our list improved comparingย ย this to Collingwood & Brisbane??

What do these players all have in common?

None finished in the top 10 of the bluey.

Hold on that's not the case.

Having finished 9th last season, Nibbla finished 6th this season.

Or perhaps don't ever bother to try and understand what the draft is or what it is trying to achieve and pass altogether.

You may be right, but here's a more complete picture that includes young players who seem to have a future

My question was around trades on ready made talent eg pies brought bobby hill, mcstay , lions got Dunkley etc ours have been disastrousย

Schache and Dunstan were never more than depth. Look at the price paid.

Grundy rucked alone, while Max was injured and it was more Max who failed than Grundy. Grundy was meant to ruck more with Max forward and because Max couldnโ€™t play forward, they wanted Grundy to. That wasnโ€™t the intent of getting him. We got back what we paid, it was 1 year and we move on.

Plenty of clubs bring in players who donโ€™t consistently make their side. Often they are depth players.

We certainly have had recent success trading which led to a flag, getting Langdon, May, Lever, BBB, Hibberd and Melksham as examples.

Likewise not every draftee will be successful.

It is par for the course, hits and misses. The big hope is that the misses arenโ€™t expensive.

If you ever want an example of the media BS that is spouted.

Fox Sports headline about Hawks landing a โ€œstarโ€.

The star is Chol who struggled to make the Suns side.

Really, Chol a star?

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
