After watching him yesterday I am less enthused.


 

Can someone ask the Saints to trial him at CHF for the rest of the season please? 

Edited by Dee*ceiving

Gives me strong TMac vibes. Solid and dependable, good team man, can play either end of the ground, safe in pressured moments. Is better than he often appears. Worthy of a thorough investigation depending on price.


I really rate this guy. Versatile and reliable defender who can also play forward if need be.

Makes you wonder where Tomlinson will play his footy in '25 if we're looking at Battle.

My guess is we'll continue seeing him dominate on Kings Birthday...

TMAc is also out of contract and if Petty does end up at the Crows we may need him.

We spoke to him before he's last contract extension. He was unhappy at the time as he was playing all over the place - forward, back, wing. Presumably he found a set position in 2022 when he signed on. Richo likes him


Question would he get a game in our best 22, straight away,  If not why would he come, and play at Casey

Despite his Lazarus like miracle return this year, I would suspect that Tom McDonald may retire at the end of this season.

And if Richo likes him, that must be a positive.


is it getting weird that we keep taking players from St Kilda?

I think we can safely say that Petty has been committed to the transtion to being a forward (whatever you think of Crow rumours) which means we have three currently playing tall defenders over 30yrs old. So the question is;

Would Battle be another in the string of 'yeah, okay' players who struggle to find a spot in our best 22?

OR

Would he be a valuable defensive role-player who finds a place in the system and plays 100 handy games for us?

I think Battle can command a key position in the backline for sure. He will look better in our system too.

I like it. Hope we're looking at Moyle as well.

Great post — have hoped we’re keen on him for 18m & I truly blv Battle fits bill as far as needs go as well, we like swing players and his 1/1 has improved incredibly!

 

Could he be a defensive big forward (role isn't to kick goals per se, rather to nullify the enemies best big defender or keep his opponent away from other forwards - but also go back if any injuries etc.

  • 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.

    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.
