Himmelberg, according to at least two clubs contacted by The Scoop, could command as much as $900,000 per season, if he were to leave the Giants. A long-term deal at that price would trigger first-round compensation, meaning GWS could have three first-round picks in the upcoming draft.

    I will throw in a 29/30 year old.

    Brisbane have benefitted over the last few years from the Hawthorn rebuild with Gunston, Birchall & Hodge...

    Geelong benefited with Smith.

    WC maybe looking at restructuring their list & I would think Elliot Yeo would be a good get for a few years. Shouldn't cost a lot but would add a lot to a contender.

    Looks like WC are trying to play Yeo out of the team playing him at FB against Tex...

    ...make the call.

    Does anyone watching Brisbane more attentively than I am, have an opinion on Zac Bailey?

    Would've thought his speed, kicking andinside-50 effectiveness would be a useful addition to our midfield mix. My impression is that he currently gets used excessively on hff and in 'outside' roles, when his junior footy suggested he was quite happyy in the packs as well.

    Bailey is always very dangerous against us. He does have good burst from the stoppage, but my read on him is he's better offensively, without much defensively. This is probably a Brisbane problem.

    Thoughts on Darcy Parish to complement our mids with a bit of speed? Not an elite ball user, but he's probably quicker than anyone else in our midfield.

    I guess it depends on cost...?

    No way could we afford him. Plus we also have a better version in Oliver. 
     

    Id love to get an outside midfielder or half backer that can compliment Salem. I’d look to throw Boewy in the HF.

    Parish has improved a hell of a lot the last couple of years, would doubt we could afford him. I personally feel Bowey has attributes and upside that complement the rest of our midfield, would love to see him given an extended run in there.

    Providing his body is sound at the end of the season, I'd absolutely take Elliot Yeo. 

    Would compliment us perfectly. 

    He's certainly big bodied. He's a good player when fit and a reasonable user of the ball. Wouldn't say he was an elite user though.

    It'd be hard stopping a midfield of Petracca, Yeo, Oliver, Viney and Sparrow. That's a strong, aggressive and powerful mix.

    Love Bowser, but reckon he's too small for the midfield.

    Realistically he's the same height as Lachie Neale but probably same build as Zak Butters.

    I definitely think it can work.

    And he is incredibly tough. It’s not the worse idea. I’d like to see him get stronger through his core tho. You don’t want him to be easily moved off the ball in the contest.

    Think this needs to be a serious consideration over the summer similar to the transition the club did with Trent Rivers in doing more midfield training and working on his fitness/core as a plan for Bowy.

    All i know os that our club doesn't get involved in bidding wars for second rate players that come on to the market and tout prices of $800+k a year.

    How has that worked for Carlton?

    When we have a need we target a player and get them, Think Langdon and Hibberd. All for a good price.

    Our recruiting team is the nest in the business

    We do need to develop a gorilla defender though. Not sure we have on of them anywhere.

    Both Trac & Clarry would burn him. People still sleep on Oliver’s pace.

    Just go and raid the Roos again for Larkey. 

    He can take over BBB's contract after next year.

    I would try and target the following in order of who I’d like most to who is probably the most realistic 

    1. Larkey 

    2. Naughton 

    3. McKay (Ben) 

    4. Himmelberg (but not for the reported $900k!)

    5. Georgiadis

    • 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.

    • 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.
