Windhager watch. 26 possessions (14 uncontested) at 89% efficiency. Plays hard. Runs hard. Has polish.

Should be our number 1 target. I hope we have a serious (but not ridiculous) offer on the table to try and jag him out off there. I am sure once NWM actually says he’s going home they will give Windhager what he wants but we should be doing what is required to convince him otherwise.

Hopefully with NWM signing an extension we are now going hard before they turn their attention to Windhager with whatever coins they find under the couch.

Bigfooty rumour, so take with a kidney stone inducing amount of salt, suggests Windhager wants to go to GWS.

Crazy if true, they already have Tom Green and Callaghan as inside mids, and more who could play through there

Their midfield depth is poor. They have Callaghan, Green and the corpses of Cogs & Kelly

It'd be like us not trading for a young midfielder because we already have Jack Viney in the side

Or it'd be like us continually playing Viney and Oliver together who are both inside mids and can't play anywhere else. And Bedford is their run with player.

They also have O'Halloran coming up.

I am personally happy that he's sticking with the Saints. At least for now.

It's good for the game when smaller clubs keep their stars, and he is one hell of a star.

And it also opens the door to Windhager. I hope we're still asking the question.

Bedford has been phased out of their midfield. He hasn’t been effective in any way but hard tagging. XOH is getting more of a run through but isn’t a full time mid. You’d rather use him to cover multiple roles.

Leake and Rowston aren’t looking like genuine mids, at least not any time soon, they have a need and can probably straight swap him for Leek Aleer.

With this monster contract, the Windhager deal must be pursued hard now

i was going to say the exact opposite, from all reports he's super loyal, seeing his housemate commit and choosing to stick fat surely only encourages him to do the same not push harder for the exit?

Liam Ryan going to the Saints. They're becoming a destination club ahead of us...

There is a difference between "destination club" and a club throwing ridiculous coin at players til they say yes who are not proven worthy (TDK, Aleer) or passed their best (Ryan).

No place for logic here. This is Eeyore Country. Governed by the rules of MFCSS.

They have also offered $25m for Reid and apparently Liam Ryan is being said to be a lock and he will be about $1m a year.

If Reid comes and including King, that is about 50% of their salary cap on 6 players.

That could be a list disaster if form loss or injury happens, combined with disgruntled team mates.

Having all those 6, would leave less than $10m for the other 39 players, roughly $240k on average for each, which doesn’t seem to work, given the other list players we know of. Hill, Wilkie, Sinclair, Higgins, Marshall, Wood, etc are all on decent money.

I'd offer 4 - he has really developed this year.

With TDK coming in and Nasiah signing on, then I don’t see the Saints increasing their offer

It can turn you into a destination club if they start to succeed. We did it with Lever and May

That's an absolute insane amount to pay for Ryan. A deal like that is a culture killer and you really can understand why there would be grievances at the club, if that's accurate. Not too mention, it would completely throw their list 'build' out, as you've suggested.

I wouldn't be against Ryan being on a list, but good luck to St Kilda with that sort of offer. Bizarre.

Tis the Ross way. Bankrupt the club trying to pinch a flag, and then leave when it goes pear shaped. I hope it works for them this time; God knows Saints fans deserve one.

Don't get me wrong, it's great that NWM is staying at St Kilda, but don't tell me that he is staying for loyalty - he's staying because St Kilda have given him an absolutely massive pay day (and because he knows that neither Adelaide or Port can trade for him).

He'll be out the door as soon as his contract expires at the end of 2027 and he can walk as a free agent.

He’s not a free agent at the end of 2027

Was it 2M for two years?

Easy buck for him and he'll be free to go anywhere in just two seasons.

he still won't be a free agent at the end of the contract

in 2 years time he could be the firt $3m a season player if he continues currently growth trajectory

I have been wondering for weeks what it would take to entice Zane Duursma out of North. Is reportedly disgruntled with the club, as he is held back in the pecking order. Is a forward who can kick goals and can spend time in the midfield. He played 2 games for Casey in his draft year and still has vast amounts of potential to be a star.

  • 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.
