Glad we are linked with Cumming. He'll slot in our back 22 nicely and free up Rivers to move to the midfield permanently.

I like the idea of Housten but can't see Port letting him go and would be expensive to trade for. Perhaps further expansion of trading 2 years in advance will allow us to go for him?

Cumming 👍🏻

If Rory Lobb or Jake Stringer step foot at our club, I will throw up faster than Gawn can say Scully.

Absolutely categorically hell to the no.

Given the Hunter experience, I think we'll steer clear of any other troubled former Bulldogs. 😉

If he is disgruntled and requests a trade, it will make it easier to trade with. They will no doubt ask for the world and cite his AA credentials. Reality is, form this year is so-so and he will not likely make the AA and finish in the lower end of top 10 B&F. 

Question is would you be willing to give up a F1 for him and would Port accept it. I wouldn't hand over this year's first unless we finish top 4-6.  Anything outside the 8 im taking to the draft.

I have high hopes with Verrall. He has shown some good development this year. As a ruckman he has good athletic ability but needs to build his endurance capabilities 

I really like him too.   But saying that I think he is a bit short to become a top of the line ruckman.   He could easily become a future CHB, especially as our key defenders are nearing the end of their careers.

Petty and a decent pick for Thilthorpe? Am I dreaming?

Yeah, can’t see the Crows doing that deal. Thilthorpe looks like he’s ready to take off.

Yeah, i am of the view we should have traded him late last year for the outrageous offer from the Crom. Goody was determined to try him as a forward though and now his value is a fraction of what it was then

Not considering how awful is the Crows defence. Someone like Petty would immediately improve it. Sure, we may not get two first round picks but you can still demand one.

With Nick Murray potentially doing his ACL last night then I have no doubt Crows will come harder again at the end of the year.

there was no 'outrageous offer' and what they did offer came too late for us to engineer a trade for a different key forward

we need petty to stay and play as it's the most talented tall we have in that 22-27 year old age bracket

Which end of the ground does Petty want to play at? Forward or back? Because if we see him as a forward and the Crows see him as a back, that may have a say in things.

I think he'll move back next year whoever he plays for and JVR, Turner and Jefferson will be our KPFs.

Say Who?

So with Billings playing ahead of Laurie (not quite like for like) - I am assuming that the MFC doesn't see a future for Laurie?

It means they feel billings is better suited for their plans this week than Laurie. Laurie is contracted for 2 more years so they must see some type of future for him, even if it is as a 25th/26th man

Looks like he’s ready for a haircut and a shave

Jack Macrae sub again tonight. Out of favour and can be a ball magnet. Would add to our midfield depth. Turns 30 in a few weeks though.

Cumming could be a possibility - even better with Callaghan or Ash. 
 

Huston has been found wanting for pace - better to go for Bergman. 
 

Hobbs and Parish should be gettable. Maybe even Judith Durham? 
Nobody wants to stay around the stench coming from that place. 
 

WA players returning could be prioritised - they should know by now that the shocking surface at Opium Stadium is only going to damage their careers.

Petty turns 25 next year, May turns 33. For many he’s a must keep, the club is normally pro active in the re signing of players. Considering the push from Adelaide surely we’ve offered him a revised contract which overrides his current one which runs out next season.

I'm happy to leave this one for North so they can drastically overpay for him on a four year deal.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • 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.
