Useless question you ask !!

We don't have Flynn any way so move on. TF is a Far better prospect and can play CHF and/or FF far better, ruck adequately and is 5 years younger. 

Did WC know how good Josh Kennedy was before they had him traded in the Judd deal ? No and TF is in his prime at 23/24 years to blossom in the big time on the big stage as a forward/ruck graduate in the Gawn school of footy.

But seriously he has much more cred than Schache and starts with a blank canvas. He hasn't been harmed up forward at Brisbane under JoeD  and Hippy yet so he can freewheel into town with no scars and a big open mind to show what he's got for us in the big time. 

I am genuinely pleased and well a bit excited at the prospect of a 200cm forward joining our ranks at the prime time of a career for a big KP/ ruck player perhaps for a second/third round ( possibly No 39 for JJ).

What's the story about candy and babies? Who cares he's our baby now for Chocco to finish off his apprenticeship and provide some candy that's far better than a Shacky out of ol' Brisbane town. 

Let the Olympic ( I mean AFL) games begin in 2024 and hopefully go thru to 2032 for TF.  Well he won't outlast Dan's career but surely Anastasia's by a decent way!

PS we have a new Tommy in town to replace our old and worn out Tmac tractor and BBB machine with a bit of ruck craft to boot. 

Cheers Dees!! ( Hope these words don't raise false hopes ) Oh and TF please don't let me down!
No pressure!!
 

So in summary,  Diamond Jim 2.0

Thanks 58er.

 
 

I'm liking it.

But will try to keep expectations in check; he doesn't seem to have a ruck's 'bigness', and 2 years seems short for the mutual buy-in to 'getting going' à la Max. And he's moving from his home state.

I do wonder if we might still look at a back-up ruck as a DFA or rookie.

Sam Hayes and Scott Lycett for Port I believe are out of contract and would come cheap. Not sure we can rely on Fullarton if Gawn goes down and he seems to be more a fwd with a little bit of ruck rather than the other way round.

I agree that we should pursue someone like Hayes or Lycett. I doubt that the club sees Fullarton as a successor to Max. hence the 2 year deal.

I think they might be happy to chance it in 24.  Look to use Fullarton as a potential chop out rather than a fully fledged ruck back up.

While hoping that Verral comes on at Casey as the potential ruck for 2025.

If he doesn't come on as expected in 24 then sure, we may need to start looking to trade in a serious alternative.

Lycett has a contract in front of him but it is said to be pitiful, think he will walk to the draft,  be very happy to pick him up if we have list spots.

Not too shabby..  he's relatively young and raw...  might be looking to starr coming into his potential. 

Shrewd get.

That may well be the key: a shrewd get, peaking slowly within a talent-ridden team at present. He can kick 'em, too - for a mobile big-'un. May well be a great sniff for us so therefore, some heavy pre-season training and development might just round him out. 

Could Gunston wanting to leave change Brisbane's thoughts about trading Fullarton?

Hearing Fullerton is not a certainty to get done. Brisbane may want to keep him due to gunston wanting to leave

He's out of contract and requested a trade

True, however he is a local QLD guy and Brisbane are talking about giving him more $$ and the same years in a contract

Done for pick 47 Twomey is reporting, seems fair 


He's definitely got a few tricks and he can play out of a the square also. Sure he's a bit lazy (I'll put him in the top 5 match day whipping boy status)  but right now I'd give up some defensive  forward  intensity for a guy that can snag 3 creative goals from nowhere. 47 is a great price. 

Makes Weideman and Schache look like Wayne Carey.

Regardless, he's a demon now so let's see if he can crack into our 22 at some stage next year.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
