Took him a year or three too long to realise he wasn't being valued and he was on the completely wrong timeline to his club.

Am I only one thinking that we should be looking at this? Surely he wouldn't eat up too much of our salary cap?

Could Goldstein and Gawn play in the same team? Who knows? Saying that, I think Goldstein offers more as a forward than Grundy.

But with Grundy seemingly Sydney bound, a back up ruck is a must for us in this off season. Verrell and KFW are still a minimum two seasons off senior selection and playing 20+ games a season isn't going to get any easier for Maxy. 

Can we sell Goldstein the idea of being a back-up or playing more of a 2nd ruck/forward role? Again, who knows? But its worth a phone call in my opinion.

Not against this if his body checks out, he’s happy to play backup and not get paid much. Realistically he won’t want that. At his age he will want game time and he is unlikely to get that at Melbourne ahead of Gawn. 
Can we play forward? 😂

i'd go in for big goober crossley from southport. was the next big thing at gcs until his drug ban, he's only 23 but is a huge boy and would be desperate for any second chance at the level including sitting behind gawn. plus would be 25 by the time gawns body is rooted and can take over for 5-7 years himself as you can never be so sure on young ruck draftees being successes long term and regardless its hard to say either KFW or verrell will be ready in 2 years at 21, not many no1 rucks are

He didn’t look in AFL shape in last year VFL final, did he look any better this year?

I think this makes real sense for us. Won’t play most weeks but worthy of decent contract as cover for Max and maybe ruck coach afterwards. We might have to guarantee him a certain number of games but given Maxxys age that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. 
Great number 2 while we bring Verrall along. Him learning from Max, Goldy and Grundy can only be a good thing. 
 

Also allows us to cash in on Grundy and spend the profits elsewhere.  

 

A bit like Sinatra, Max could play out his twilight years in rucking duets with his industry peers. 

Get Goldstein in. i’m sure he’s not too old to learn to play fwd

It’s an obvious NO. 

i think everyones been watching season 23 with their eyes closed SONS

we're discussing a bloke whos given 15yrs of service to one club who doesn't want to play 2s football and everyones suggesting we bring him in to play 2s. if he wanted to do that he'd just stay at norf???

if theres any ruckman who's going to leave their club it'd be soldo as i cant see ooze playing 2 rucks ever after the shambles he's witness unfold at MFC 

I've said it elsewhere, but we need to be signing Max's replacement now for 1-2 years of education, and then stepping up to be number 1 ruck. I can't see the value to bringing in another stopgap option, unless he's happy to play for free.

Sign doesn't have enough red in it, I'm taking it as a soft 'no'.

An undervalued 22-24yo ruck who's got a developed body would be perfect, if they're any good there's a permanent position there for them for the next 6 - 8 years.

I guess that includes Collingwood then. 🤷‍♀️ 

Just because the “experiment” didn’t work out this year doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be tried again with a different ruckman. After all, it’s amazing how important a role personalities play in such things.

 

 

I think we need a projectile vomit emoji after seeing that image.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
