Flip side, if we open up the door for them to take the bloke that they want - that they know we could have got - it could be leverage to deal with us on pick 1. 
I’m not 100% sure blackmail is the way to go though. 

Besides, Flynn’s decision.

    Well maybe not blackmail, but working together.

    Agree on the first part but as for the second, Goodwin doesn't manage (rest) players very often if at all

    Given Max has been injured the past 2 final series, that might have to change!

    We'll have to draft a mature aged ruckman from the State Leagues, which is what we should have done last year. We'll also need to trade for a forward/ruckman like Lobb.

    you do realise that the trade period hasn't even STARTED yet?

    and that there's a whole draft - or two! - to come before the calendar year is out?

    Under the current system this is our best option. Whether it’s Lobb is debatable, but given that Forwards who can give a competent chop out in the ruck are extremely hard to find, Lobb is worth considering. 
    Failing that, is it Van rooyen ?

    PS :  If the AFL were committed to the development of young Ruckmen , I believe they should allow for a separate substitute for a reserve ruckman during a game to cover for injuries.

    Flynn is to good to be playing VFL we need a developing ruck/ fwd 23-26 yo that can pinch hit when needed whilst they develop him to the next level. Needs to be strong, tall 202cm or more and highly competitive with reasonable kicking and marking skills. Not much to ask really.???

    Blackmail is in fact working together - even though under duress.

    JVR has been very competent covering for Max, but is far too much a bigger value as a forward to consider this other than perhaps doing ruck work forward while Max drops a kick behind the play. 
    I realize that Faris-White is a long long way off in his ruck development, but Casey watchers, does he show any signs at all of developing into a forward ruck?

    • 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.
