Apparently Emerson Jeka was delisted by the Hawks.

He is a 198cm key forward originally from the Western Jets.

Here is the link about it: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1042682/josh-morris-emerson-jeka-fionn-ohara-depart-hawthorn-after-2023-season

Perhaps Emerson Jeka is worth giving a 2nd chance to? However, I don't know much about him.

Ah, no! This is a guy that kicked 0.7 in a VFL game!

Most Hawk supporters know he is nowhere near the standard.

Jeka has just turned 22, is a maturing big man and yet to reach his potential. 
He has talent, was chosen at #9 and is worth a close look.

I've been trying to mentally sort the key forwards (who are even remotely possible acquisitions) into 'expensive gun' and 'quality role-player' types. Figured if I put it down in writing it would reduce my overall level of confusion. So, with an invite to people putting a line through them, adding a question mark, endorsing them, mocking them, or suggesting what they reckno the trade cost would be, here we go;

Expensive guns;

Aaron Naugton,     Pick-any King,     Jack Lukosius,     Oscar Allen,     Harry McKay

Quality role-players or young potential in crowded forward lines;

Jamarra Ugle-Hagan,     Todd Marshall,     Jake Riccardi,     Darcy Fogarty,     Logan McDonald,

Hayden McLean,       Riley Thilthorpe,     Ben McKay (switching forward?)


 

My personal preference from a value-for-trade/money perspective would go Riccardi, McLean, Thilthorpe and then the fantasy of getting Lukosius.

Taken 9 in the rookie draft. Surely we're not desperate enough to pick anyone who is tallish and can hold a sherrin. We do seem to have an abundance of not good enough tall forwards.

I saw a tall bloke at the shops earlier - don’t know if he’s any good but I’ll ask him if he can kick straight 

 

I'm tall, ill play forward 

I mean, I'm 40 and 25kgs overweight but I'll lead up at the ball

Have any of the players on our list kicked 3 in a mid gippy 2s game? No they havent. I rest my case.

I reckon Naughton might be our best chance in nabbing a Tall Power Forward out of Contract in 2024, 24 years of age, Dogs desperate for picks.

Been poor this year Naughts are change of scenery with his mates Lachie and big Shaq dog might be what the doctor ordered, times are changing for WB.

2023 was not a great year for Naughton but he's a very good player.  If he's an option we should seriously chase him.

He’s also an exciting forward jumping all over the place. Would get kids through the door

Sounds like he would slot straight in at the Dees

With those numbers he would be a certain starter for us 🤗

And which mid Gippy team might this be @biggestred? We could talk for countless hours about the greatness that is FCFNC 😝😝😝

It might be a dumb suggestion as he is key to our back successes, but what about putting Steven May at full-forward and getting Ben McKay from North as a key back? 

Dumb Dumb Dumb 

thats right ONE day in Sept that's all we would have !!

That's a 26-goal season right there!

(On a serious note, it's also 7 shots (not counting any OOBs!) So something to work with?)

Having a look over playing lists, there’s a few that seem to have excess tall forwards.
Looking for a bargain...

StK - Cooper Sharman?

Coll - Ash Johnson?

GCS - Burgess? Chol the obvious option. McLaughlin?

Adel - Fogarty? Gollant?

WBD - O’Brien? 

Port - Lord? Scully?

Haw - Ramadan?

Freo - Corbett? Treacy? Kuek?

Did I just dream this or was this in the rumour file?

Dees given up on trying to snare No.1 pick and Harley Reid.

Now all into luring Nick Larkey from Kangas.

With cap space created by Grundy/Harmes/Brown, will sign him on mega four-year deal worth $4M.

North to receive picks 5 and 13 plus Paul Spargo.

Dees to solve forward issues for next few years with van Rooyen and Petty further up field and Larkey and Fritter near goals.

Maybe we can throw in Bob Spargo and Bob Spargo Snr as well.

It will have to happen with another player as Spargo is a required player and won't be released.

  • 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.
