โ€˜At odds with the fitness staffโ€™ feels like an orange/red flag (given their fitness staff is Darren Burgess)

Definitely a possible replacement for Jake Melksham. Although I hope we keep Jake Melksham on the long-term injury list.

Shane McAdam definitely has football talent. Great to hear he wants to come to the Demons (if a trade can be done).

It's nice to be a destination club! ๐Ÿ˜Š

His highlights reel is impressive, but that's what highlight reels are for.

I see he wears number 23 at Adelaide.ย  If he's keen on that number, there's every possibility it may be vacant at Melbourne at the end of this season.

For a third-rounder as suggested?ย  I'm in.

Seriously need to let it go and get over yourself.

Certainly talented & has that x factor. Not sure he is the most team oriented player going - seems a tad hungry but then again maybe that's not a bad thing in a forward.


I like! Excellent mark. Can jump like nobody! Plenty of courage. Good skills. Replacement for Melk and Fritta. Adelaide always seem to screw their players!

McAdam's mooted move to Melbourne also opens up the possibility of a three-club trade between the two SA clubs and ourselves, involving Grundy to Port plus other players and draft picks being involved.

He's 18 months older than Fritta so wouldn't be replacing him other than in the unfortunate case of injury.

Melksham on the other hand ...

Do we need to trade, he is out of contract and want's to leave?ย  Crows have no bargaining power hereย

Unless he's a free agent, some sort of trade would need to take place I think.ย  (cf Luke Jackson)

Alternatively, he could nominate for the draft but then he would have no say where he ends up.

yeh, im not sure he is wanted like Jackson.ย  Let him walk like Marting did to Carlt back in 2019.ย  I just really don't like this, he isn't close to our best side.ย  And the way he is leaving Adel if true, is messy

If Fritta gets injured again then he's a replacement...

Struck me as a slightly better version of Hannan but that's on limited watching.

Not sure at this stage. Could be a good calculated risk but dunno.

Really great sign, on the back of koz resigning, an Aboriginal player wants to come to the dees.

Suggests they have really got the cultural safety stuff right.

Compare and contrast to the crows.

Their most popular player, tex, gets suspended for racist comments about an Aboriginal player and then there is the whole camp nightmare and a loved figure like Eddie betts leaving the club because it the cl7b is not cultural safe.

Again, he would have no control over which club chooses to draft him.ย  Risky business.

Yes, but that's not the actual case.ย  A 28 year old 50 game player that has burnt his old team.ย  Not many lining up for him i wouldn't think.ย  just hope dees play hard ball and give up nothing for him. he isn't worth anything


I'm far from excited but I guess with both Dunstan and Melksham doing ACLs ๐Ÿ˜ญ there might be a need for the extra mature mid-sized body around. Rarely goes goalless.

It is always hit and miss with the top-up type players;

Dunstan, Grundy, Hunter, Tomlinson, Brown, and Langdon being our recent run, which you'd have to say has given us a great overall result for very little trade cost.

A side thought on this is, if we are already bringing in an additional depth player through trade, just how many list spots do we think we're going to have open? Who is on the retirement or trade out queue already?

Don't know about this,

ย 

He did a great job on Lever against us and got on the scoreboard plus some goal assists. I canโ€™t comment much beyond that but I saw enough in that game to be pleased with this. Has talent.

  • 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 Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"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 Collingwoodโ€™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.ย

  • 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 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.
