Send him to Collingwood. He was happy to hug and laugh with that #4 thug that plays in the white and black.

he cant go to the pies, they have no cap, no picks and the players they have taken in the first round are [censored], carlton is the same but they are in a much worse position then the pies and us, the only place he can go is the tigers or saints but they are no better then us so there is really no point. i will give him the benefit of the doubt this year because of the injury but next year there is no excuses

I have a new most disliked player-Butters.

I find his behaviour on the field pathetic.

Totally agree.

he also looks like Ramsay Bolton from GoT.

 

I would absolutely kill for Butters to be in our side. He’ll do absolutely bonkers things for his team.

As tough/kamikaze as Viney, as damaging as Trac and a better kick than our entire side. He had a few kicks out of contest today that were just brilliant, his vision must be phenomenal.

Butters is just about my favourite non Dees player in the comp

Yes he’s a [censored] talker but no one puts their body on the line like he does

And he hits targets - imagine that!

cal is the only media person who repeatedly says that we've targeted key forwards over the last few years

most other media nuffies just say that we should...completely ignoring that it ain't for want of trying...

I agree we have been looking and those who say otherwise are 'nuffies'.

However, we haven't landed anything. That's not good enough.

If you believe reports, Ben King will be a pie. If that does happen that would mean Collingwood would have brought in McStay and King in 5 years. Us? Fullarton (does he count)?

i have not seen said reports - the gc17 player that seems to get most commonly linked to the filth is matt rowell

ben king is signed up there til the end of 2026 on massive coin that would see him clearly be a restricted free agent when he comes ooc; they ain't going to give him easily

McStay has never kicked more than 28 goals in a season. He wouldn't have changed our fortunes.

In our long bomb forward line he would be hopeless. With the pies exceptional delivery he looks a million dollars

Carlton have curnow and mckay yet still struggle because their mids delivery is as bad as ours

deliver the ball property and coach our forwards some method and we might have a chance.

He’s a gun and would be a dream get if there was any way to bring him in

I see that as a good thing. Bring him in and whoever is the new whipping boy we can refer to as reek.

This.

Curnow was hopeless today and that was nothing to do with Curnow.

I'm sure it's an unpopular opinion who those who think a key forward will solve all our problems, but I am firmly in the "our forwards aren't actually that bad" camp.

If you put JVR, Turner, Petty, Fritsch, Kossie, Melksham and co infront of a competent midfield who get it in fast and to their advantage they'd all be completely different players.

Firstly, I agree with you. Second it feels like DL goes full circular about forward or forward delivery being the source of scoring once every 6 weeks. At the 3 week mark its inaccuracy.

He has had bad luck with injuries...

Let me just check Fullarton's stats in comparison.


1 minute ago, whatwhat say what said:

why?

mcstay is a serious player for top teams

fullarton is...tall

Because Fullarton is the only tall forward we've been able to bring in.

My main point is that I accept we are looking, but it's been an utter failure to not bring in anyone for 5 years.

in the last five years?

ben brown was in that time period as well as a couple of first round picks (van rooyen, jefferson), plus more speculative selections such as luker kentfield and aidan johnson

i'm still hopeful that jvr and el jefe can become an awesome double tall duo; hopeful, but not expectant given how lacklustre they have been this year

jvr was tracking very well prior to now, so i expect he can return to form

Exactly, does anyone think Caddy or Morris would be any good for us, they’d look like JVR, bereft of confidence. It’s why we can’t persist with the Butcher Trio in the middle together.

Let me just check Fullarton's stats in comparison.

McStay's contract with Pies is 5 years estimated at $600k per.

Fullerton signed with us for 2 years at I assume more like half that salary.

McStay has missed more than half the games through multiple injuries since joining and when playing has averaged just over 1 goal and 4 marks a game.

I would take Fullerton's non impact over 2 years over the cost and patchy impact of McStay at the Pies.

I suggest landing a quality proven key forward at end of 2025 is unlikely with us based on market and chips to get a deal. We have to my knowledge attempted to land Larkey, Mitch Lewis, Tex Walker and Waterman at different points in time and all stayed at their original clubs. I am sure there would have been others.

Our best path is as others have stated, bring in better ball users through the midfield via positional changes, trade (in and out) and draft. I hope we never see Oliver, Petracca and Viney at a centre bounce together again.

  • 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.
