Time to shelf the trying to get pick 1 etc, get gold coasts 4, and throw 4&5 at a key forward. McKay from Carlton, Allen from West coast are two of target. West coast would be happy with 1,4&5 going into the draft.

And unless we change our game plan or truly believe that Petty will be the main focal point and his body wonโ€™t fail him then we need to head hunt a genuine forward.

When did Richmond go after Lynch?ย 

2017 they won with just Riewoldt as the KF.

Did they lose in 2018 because they lacked that KPF?

Agreed. Allen will do nicely.

I donโ€™t know but they won the next two with him.

We need a dominant forward now while Max and May are still producing at last nights level

Yep. Our window is now. Brodie leaving frees up a fair chunk of change, go and get a half decent forward.

Gotta get a new forwards coach as well.

There needs to be someone on the market. Iโ€™m not sure there is.

If that thug didn't knock out Brayshaw we probably wouldn't be having this thread

I disagree, itโ€™s the biggest hole we have in our list.

Goodwin wants Thai game style, this style relies on a big forward who can mark and compete. Tmac and BBB are done, JVR not there and donโ€™t think the right sort of player, which leaves Petty who has shown two good games as a forward and could be the answer but he keeps spending multiple weeks on the sideline which leaves us with no one.

We need to improve our forward line, but it could also be through another gun small/mid sized forward and our salary cap has to be tight.

Head hunt them. Surely they would know who they like as players, go after them and try and pry them loose.ย 
Carlton might let McKay go as Curnow does well as a lone forward.ย 
Allen might not want to do the rebuild and two early picks for him might entice west coast.

We donโ€™t have the money for either of those guys. Not even close.

We genuinely could have had Taylor Walker if we offered him a multi-year deal at the end of last year. The club clearly didnโ€™t want to go near him because of the racial incident that happened last year. If we had him, weโ€™d win the flag.

Agree, we need to get creative with the use of our good draft picks. We donโ€™t fix this forward line issue up, then we butcher this window we are in. There are already a heap of teams on the up that will challenge for finals spots next season and could do damage very quickly (ie Adelaide), which worries me that weโ€™re genuinely wasting our opportunity which may be over before we know it.


Should have been done a year ago. Tmac and bbb .. the writing was on the wall. Delist them both. Get rid of Grundy. Should give us some cash.

ย We have probably paid too much for Kozzie who has disappeared since he resigned. Bedford was probably a better fit than Chandler.

ย 

If last night's loss was such a season ender and concession of flag favouritism to the Pies, why don't we poach their dominant key forward?

Oh wait... They didn't have one.

Yes yes yes. Heโ€™s a lad. A good bloke. But no idea on forward structures. They all lead to the same spot. ย Spread. Come up and free up space. Teach leading. Teach Fritsch to tackle. ย Teach kozzzy to burn off opponents. ย In Carey or Brereton or some true ex forward.ย 

We've clearly peaked as a list (2021 to first half of 2022). We're now on the slide and it's only going to get worse as key players like May, Lever, Salem, Gawn have all declined in their impact and will continue inevitably downward. Add to that the decline of Harmes and Spargo and loss of players like Bedford and likely JJ searching for more opportunity, which has impacted our depth.ย 

I initially thought that going after a big fish was the way to go, but on second thoughts. We really need to nail this draft to refresh our squad. Luckily we have the picks to do it so over to you Jason Taylor.

Given the club's indigenous first nations programs, there is no way they could have signed Walked.

This needed to be our priority after the 2022 exit.ย  Not Grundy for Jackson.

A big yes but not OA for mine.

Plus an outside classy mid with pace and finish.

But they also play a game style where they donโ€™t dump kick it long 60 times a game.

So unless we change our game style as Iโ€™ve said multiple times we then need that key fwd.

And Iโ€™ll be betting on Goodwin sticking to his same game plan for years to come.

Having Wayne Carey wouldnโ€™t solve our problem. Itโ€™s ball movement and forward connection that is the issue., Isolate the forward line and they kick bags.

Need better ball users plain and simple.ย

  • 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.
