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: 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.

    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

    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.
