I would try and prize him out with as much as we can afford, would make us a premiership threat again next year

Is there a different Peter Wright?

 

I like Wright but he has been poor this year and average last year.  Even dropped this year when the bombers have few tall fwds

If he gets his head right he is a quality mark and straight kick for a big man

Bombers would want a fair bit for him and he would want a big contract being 28 soon

Where are those blokes with all the inside Goss on trade targets? I want a left fielder 

 

Deven Robertson signed a 2 year deal at Brisbane last year but finds himself stuck in the twos. Only played 2 AFL games this year. 

He had 36 touches and 13 clearances in the VFL on the weekend. He has struggled in the AFL but I wonder if that's the role he needed to play.

He will find it tough to crack into Brisbane before finals, and with another Ashcroft coming, he will find himself even further down the pecking order in 2025.

We know that Jason Taylor was extremely disappointed to miss him on draft day. Wonder if we're looking at him again.

He's from WA and the Eagles went after him last year, but they'll be giving up picks to get Baker from Richmond.

I'd be interested in looking at Stengle if he's gettable. Would be nice to have a small forward that can actually crumb, and is disciplined enough to sit front and square. What we'd give to have Toby Bedford back right now.

Looking for a good pre-season from Spargo too.

I respectfully disagree. However what concerns me is that this is the type of trade Tim Lamb will probably get done. Follows in the same style as Hunter, McAdam, Billings etc. 

One key criteria is a player that is playing more than 80% gametime in the AFL in 2024 and is < 28. Even its just for depth and role playing, this is an absolute must.

good player stuck behind some guns.  would be a good get and some class.

Is PW the sort that could play that second ruck role @Pennant St Dee?

Probably and up until this year was going well at Essendon, has he fallen away due to them now being to tall or are is his workfare questionable. I wouldn’t be selling the farm for him

Yeah, where are the blokes?

Robertson has some attributes, but class ain't one of them. 

Which is why he's playing twos. 


We cannot give up 2 firsts for Houston. 1 pick, take it or leave it. If they don't accept that then we take a star mid in the draft and pick up Cumming, Perryman or another half back for far far less. If we finish 13th and then somehow miss finals again next year, we could end up giving up pick 6 and roughly pick 10. No player in the history of the game has ever been traded for that much.

If we were getting prime Buddy or Dusty then sure, but we aren't. I love Houston as a player and think he would fit in well but, we must stick fat and not sacrifice the future. He's also nearly 28.

It could be a Taranto and Hopper situation if things don't go well. Not worth it imo.

This is my ideal scenario:
 

Draft:
- Top 6 pick 

Trade:
- ⁠Future first for Waterman and their 3rd rounder 
- ⁠2nd rounder and Eagles 3rd for Peter Wright (he’s on the outer) 
- ⁠Josh Battle Free agent 

Summary:

In: 
- Waterman 
- ⁠Peter Wright 
- ⁠Battle 
- ⁠Pick 6 
- ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder 

Out
- Future first 
- ⁠2nd rounder 
- ⁠Eagles 3rd rounder

Battle is an undersized key defender.

too many talls maybe?

wright's form has completely abandoned him

waterman would be great, i think, but i'm convinced that the talk of him leaving is purely managerial manoeuvring to get a decent contract uplift now in his pre-agency year

Yes,too many talls. Back up ruck is a must but we need midfielders,  midfielders, midfielders!!


We just don't seem to draft any 200cm+ players....

At least Petty at 197cm is close and hopefully we get back to playing him in his best position... DEFENDER

We are apparently looking at Eagles’ Harry Edwards who is a key back and 204 cms.

    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.
