    He'll be out for that ridiculously branded "Round 0" where we play the Swans up in Sydney.

    Glad this thread is now finally back on track, after wandering through the fuchsias, tulips and broken glass along memory lane.

    From dee-railment to re-arailment. 

    What excites most is there will some new blood in the team, with young Caleb & Co clamping at the bit. Could be some real beauties out there with the beginnings of the changing of the guard.

    Absolutely agree. There’s a great podcast ..Dyl & friends where he speaks to Petracca. Fantastic listen & a good insight into his feelings on our”forward's” & also the team ..early exit from finals etc. Some of our more “pessimistic “ supporters would do well to listen !

    Just having watched the last quarter and bit ( from 44 pts down ) and gaining our Minor Premiership in 2021 I could just see the Duke running on all pistons  and being involved in a comeback like that, He has the skill momentum and attitude to be a major player in his career. His bold football and possessions will be impactful.

    Whether we see a lot of it in 2024 I don’t know but I look forward to hostile in our next few years on the wing,

    And his partner in crime Kolt will be a 15 possession game changer who will do in do the tough acts and play keeping the scoreboard ticking over. Again every touch worth its weight in gold. Again how much this season don’t know but  looking forward to whatever he does as it will be vital and impactful. 

    And I know it’s even a longer straw but I very much have the feeling that Kynan Brown will also be a major player in our future. Why? Because the kid bleeds footy and the red and blue and he’s already exceeding our expectations. His will is like Clarry’s indomitable and you need players like this in a champion team.

    Dont underestimate what  these 3 draftees will bring whether in ‘24 but if not ‘25 and after. 

    We need a lift from some newbies and others are also in with that opportunity to put the dare back in our play like in 2021. Do that and the will like vs Cats in 2021 and again vs Lions in 23 can make us great again when th going gets tough. 

    I have no idea whether you'll be proven right or wrong. But, gee, I love your enthusiasm.

    The popular opinion was that our talent levels dropped off alarmingly because our zones weren't very productive (zones came into being from 1963) 

    The way around the zones was to bring in interstate talent but apart from bringing in Tilbrook, we weren't really a player like say, a team like North who seemingly had an endless chequebook

    Bombers, Hawks & Blues brought in loads of interstate talent as well (more so in the 80's)

    That is true. The Zones were meant to be rotated but the bigger clubs with productive Zones and plenty of cash kicked up and rotation was canned. Our Zone was not productive. Part of it was in SA.

    The Hawks were gifted an amazing zone, resulting in like 13 players in their team of the century or something along those lines!

    Just curious is this just based on your visits to pre-season training? Or have you watched their Eastern Rangers/Oakleigh Chargers or Under 18 National Championship games?

    Hoping all of the above comes to fruition.

    44 pts down? When was this? How can I watch?  

    Edit: Brain fade it was MFC v Geelong 21. I misread it as Windsor played in a TAC gf where they were 44 points down and won. I was keen to watch that!

    Why would you hang around with Brownlow Medallists, Coleman Medallists & fellow Premiership players once you had heard that the famous Field Medallist in PF was available for befriending ?

    There is certainly a bit of Judd in the way he moves, but Judd was 5cm taller and heavier/stronger. Plus Judd was big for a mid when he played but would be only average size today.

    I thought Windsor was quite tall. Was Judd really 5cm taller? Seems a lot and I don't recall him being overly tall

    Judd was 189 and Windsor is 185, so not really a huge difference.

    Sounds like the Kolt isn't that far off as well. Guess it is just hard to find him a spot with Kozzy, Billings, ANB and Chandler all having good games last week.

    Agree - I said the same a while back. The way he handballs (particularly off the left side) you would swear he is a clone of the great man.

    Will he reach the same heights? We can all dream. He has a bright future ahead given he appears to have a good head on his shoulders and seemingly a great work ethic.

    • 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.

      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.
