So, the obvious speculation is, do we try for both?

Would Yasmin be willing to move back to Melbourne for our AFLW team, so we can get the full XYZ Duursma?

Now that'd be a generational shift!

Not sure there is much wisdom in us taking a C grade midfielder to give one of our premierships rivals one of the picks they need to fix their significant ruck and defensive issues. Pass, unless he comes as a delisted free agent.


Pass. Since his debut season, he's struggled with injuries and form. After his performance in the finals, I'm not surprised Port are trying to offload him.

Gee he struggled in the finals. I hope we are not interested.

Being reported that bombers have shown interest as part of the BZT trade

"Struggled in finals" and "Bombers showning interest" right there next to each other.

I believe the kids these days call it 'found object art'.

 


I think Duursma has lot of talent. Fast, tall, long kicking wingman. He is only 22 and has suffered a lot of injuries.

Buy low.

He would be a reasonable improvement on Hunter and I think his potential upside would be worth a punt. 

Like many, a 'restart' at a new club may definitely reinvigorate him and help him to return to the form he showed when he came on the scene. Assuming you wouldn't have to give up a great deal for him, I'd be very interested.  

Wouldn’t be in our best 22 and is a clear downgrade from Langdon and Hunter, even if they weren’t great this year. I’d rather try Howes or Woe or Laurie on a wing or outside mid ahead of him. He was good in his debut season, but a lot of that was just down to his youthful energy rather than any skill. Since then he’s battled injuries and never showed form to AFL level. His finals series was atrocious. He’d be depth only and worth a token 3rd- 4th round pick that wouldn’t be used at draft by any team. 


Hasn't looked properly fit for a couple of years. Looked great in his first year. Might be a bargain for the Bombers.

Not small, but 186 isn't tall and not a great user of the ball, just what we need.

If it helps us get younger brother Willem in a couple of years, (it won't) I'm for it. 

Yes, Willem will be the best of the lot of them, already dominating at Foster as a 16 year old.

Injury prone, poor disposal and questionable decision making. 
 

It’s a yes from me

He plays tall, with long arms and big leap. I think he will be a good player.

Will probably be in BZT deal to Bombers. 

Be a great get, kid has plenty of growth pretty much had a year ruled out by injury.  Take him over McAdam any day!

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
