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 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
