So we’re does our improvement come from?? So basically our trades for the past 3 seasons has seen, Hunter retired, Shache delisted, Fullerton & Mccadam can’t get a game, Billing’s only getting games due to injuries. The mess around the handling of Oliver & Trac! It obvious no decent payer wants to come so Who’s to blame for this mess?

The media want us all to believe that trades are the main things that allow you to improve. They want trades linked directly to hope. 

But what lets you improve is really careful list management, player development, footy strategy, injury management, luck and all sorts of other things. Yes, trades are a part of list management, but so is drafting, maintaining a good balance in areas like position, age and experience, developing depth and so on.

We didn't, our star player did.

My understanding is the only way we messed this up is our first pick driftedmuch higher in the back end of the year than when we were willing to part with it for the proposed deal. Then both parties cooled for differing reasons.

Windsor

Tholstrup

Rivers

McVee

JVR

Jefferson

Turner

Kozzie 

 

This is where the improvement comes from 

I would love us to have a crack at 

1 Tim Membrey

2 Matt Kennedy

and possibly 

3 Matt Owies

all would be upgrades for us

 

Fin Macrae is considering his options off the back of struggling to break into Collingwood’s senior side this year, per Mitch Cleary. 

 

We were interested in his draft year

PETTY

CHANDLER

SPARROW

You are kidding yourself, Sparrow and Kennedy would be on par and Sparrow is younger.  Chandler is defensively superior to Owies but I agree I would see Owies as a slight upgrade but there is no way you are playing Membrey over Petty.

Fit and happy Petracca, fit and moderately sane Oliver will help…

When does a trade revolutionise or even revamp? Lever and May took a year to get going. 

Like another posted listed - improvement comes from within. Rivers and McVee continuing to allow CP5 more time forward, Petty being fit will give this experiment its final beta test, Pickett providing more explosiveness in the middle, AMW and Woey releasing others to do more in the backline, and continuing to commit to a game style that suits a team that has no dominant tall forward and needs to move the ball quickly, with dare, and not wait for May to kick it or for Gawn to mark it.

Wasn't he highly rated, where would he fit in, what's his point of difference or weapon?

Which one of Petty's 9 goals in the same amount of games as Membrey's 30 goals, impressed you so much?

I really hope the experiment is over.

Let's see how he goes with a pre-season though. Getting Membrey in also allows us to shift Petty OR Turner down back, as defensive cover. Given we won't have Tomlinson anymore and Tmac and May will be 32/33 years old respectively. It might be something we need cover with. Derkson is an unknown commodity in that regard.

Petty looks lazy when playing forward. Could Tomlinson stay for a year, not much appears to be going on from trade point of view

I don't think we're getting Membrey in any case. Personally would just move Petty back and use Tmac as Depth. No more than two talls in the forwardline. Go smaller and focus on moving the ball rather than playing a bunch of NQR key forwards.

Why do you say that? It's the kind trade that gets done on the last day for a bag of chips, when all other business is attended to. And we've been rumoured to have been in talks with him per sam Edmund.

Because we've already flatly stated we're not interested as of 3 days ago? Just because we had a chat with him a month ago doesn't mean we're still keen.

Did we? Tim Lamb? I must've missed wherever you heard that, I haven't listened to any media this week,

Edit: Nor seen anyone bump the TM thread.

Yes, was a question asked at Tim Lamb's press conference earlier this week right towards the end.  Was a flat no.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
