Jason Taylor would have drafted Z Duursma over Windsor - fact

Thank god he didn't get the opportunity to do so.

Will we have a crack at him?

I have no idea but no doubt the recruiter liked him in his draft year. I’m sure he comes good but we can’t be nursing him to that point just as north can’t. You just know he becomes a star at Geelong, Brisbane or Sydney - sadly.

JT def continues to keep eyes on players he rated at draft. Let’s hope not. He looks like a massive bust.


The interview with Gawn after the game suggests that next year he will need help and some rest through out the season. We can not go a whole season with just Gawn next year.

Max Heath to me is the perfect fit. Can go forward and can ruck.

Campbell is a very solid ruckman, so the help is/was there?

I said for next year.

Campbell may go on for one year or retire this year but I’d rather find our next ruckman.

Never thought I'd say it:

  • Try to get a 2nd for May. Disco is the future

  • Any first we can get for Trac. Clarry more likely to return to the player he was than Trac

  • Don't mind either way with Lever. Petty or JvR is fine

  • Sparrow to Port for chips

You’ll be lucky to get a 3rd rounder for May

Yes, we cant go with JVR again


Any insights into ex-bushy player Phoenix Gothard @dazzledavey36 ? I saw he kicked 4 in the VFL finals loss today. Understand he's had some injuries thus far but seems to hit the scoreboard regularly as a small forward for the Giants.

With Pickett spending more time in the midfield we could certainly use another quality small.

A quick glance at premiership teams will show that they have targeted and acquired contracted (or expensive) players to compliment the talent we did it with May, Lever and Langdon. Theres Daniher, Howes, Cameron, Lynch, Dangerfield, etc

We've been to the draft, it's time to look at players we want regardless of contract status. Unfortunately we can't afford the very top I.e butters (unless creative I.e Petty, 1st round (Trac/Oliver) and future 1st round. It's also easier tho target players from interstate clubs so:

I'd target Touk Miller who is being pushed out of the Suns midfield and will face even greater challenges as the suns academy keeps supplying top end talent. Due to the academy they're is going to be opportunity to grab a starting 22 player there.

Similarly with the Lions, and I mean starting 22 not fringe like Sharp.

But ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, leftfield

I'd chase read from the eagles offering them JVR (to replace Allan) and Petracca ((he wants a big club 😅) maybe a swap of picks to even out. Trac would be captain and provide leadership to their emerging midfield.

Thoughts on Nathan O’driscoll from Fremantle? Not in the side today, always seems to catch the eye when watching Freo games.

Are you serious?

Clark is a star at Dockers couldn’t get a regular game at Cats.

Baker hardly played for us.

Martin is playing far better than at Blues.

Clark was in his first 3 years at Geelong in a team that gives players time. He hasn't all of a sudden improved at Freo out of getting experience, stronger fitter.

Baker hardly has played for the dogs and when he has his output was no different to when at Melb, although he did play well yesterday.

and Martin is still doing the same Martin thing hes done for the last 10 years. Flashes of brilliance with not much in between.

Norf gave up pick 25 for Calab Daniel. Absolutely diabolical. Total coach killer. May on one leg and half rat power is better than any of the three experience blokes Norf bought in in 2024.

Ryan Burton anyone?

Just been delisted by PA, or are his injuries more serious than I’m aware of?

we need to stop recruiting in the 15-30 bracket f=of our list, you arent playing him ahead of bowey, mcvee, salem or rivers so whats the point? take a kid with upside not another 27yo average afl goer

It gets worse though, they then traded their first round pick in 2026 for pick 27 in 2025 draft.

so in a roundabout way (and with hindsight) basically traded pick 2 for him.

No thanks, constantly injured and peaked early.

What a flop that Wingard/Burton trade ended up being for both clubs.

I think part of the point was we had Campbell there and probably should have used him to give Max a spell at some point but didn't (just for a change).

I know Max is a warrior and of immense spiritual and on feild value to the team, thus in the season we had, it was probably pretty important he played alot of weeks to help hold the ship together, but you do have to wounder if he's his own worst enemy in preserving himself in the interests of maximising his career (pardon the bad pun).

I'd rather keep Max on ice every now and then and make sure he's there for the biggest of games when we hopefully become competitive again.

Also Tom is the same age as Max, so you'd think it would be reasonable for him to go around again if we can't find a younger backup, unless he's no longer willing or his fitness and form doesn't support that.

Reckon he's a decent cheap option to build depth in our midfield. If one of Trac or Clarrys go, is be seeking him out of he was cheap. Trade demand would be low as they're not even playing him and hasn't nailed down a spot in their team for years. Equivalent to Laurie for us, but far more proven and upside IMO.

  • 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.
