Great size to him and explosiveness. 

Looks like the kind of player Taylor loves

 
 

Anyone know when Alex Davies and Angus Sheldrick are out of contract? Two young kids stuck in the queue at Suns and Swans who could be worth a punt at the right price (and would be better than any mids we have coming through at Casey…)

Davies 2024

Sheldrick 2025

Davies is a tackler but doesn't seem to do much else

There are some other vids showing more of his inside work. Loves a strong tackle if he can't win it.

there's absolutely no way we should be giving up our first pick in the draft for Houston. Future first or no deal imo.

Lalor looks a talent - just 8 disposals though ?

I might be on my own here but I would be very nervous about giving up a future first. The way we are tracking it could be a better pick than this year.

BPA's 2024 off-season wish list:

* Houston (PA) - mid to late first 2024

* Cumming (GWS) - FA

* Wright (ESS) - 2024 3rd round pick

* x2 top 20 picks in the 2024 draft (split pick 6 or 7 with Freo, trade one for Houston and then somehow convert our future 1st into the first round in 2024, be open for trading a player to get it done)

* nicking intellectual property from @Ted Lasso, if Indigenous players give their sign off (yes, important) and Lever, I'd be open to Taylor Walker too. Free agent, two year deal, one likely at VFL as forward development coach.

Best 22 for 2025 becomes:

Bowey May Lever

Cumming TMac Houston 

Windsor Oliver Langdon

Trac Walker ANB

Koz JVR Petty

Max Rivers McVee 

Salem Wright Viney Fritta

Sub and depth comes from Turner, Spargo, Chandler, Sparrow, Howes, AMW, Kolt, McAdam, Melksham and x2 2024 first rounders.

I'd hope our first rounders would be plug and plays, but if not they'll be depth in the first year.

If Walker isn't a goer then Turner comes into the 22. I reckon Turner has great attributes to be an excellent mobile CHF. 

If TMac doesn't go around again and we land all these guys, Petty takes TMac's spot.

Plenty of ifs at this stage. We'll know more in the next few weeks RE TMac and Melksham.

Who are you willing to trade to get it done that you think has the realistic value to make this happen?

Sparrow or Chandler, although I don't like writing that on a public forum, where I want to be supportive of Melbourne players.

They're both young South Aussies, so I think a player like that may lessen our outgoing pick.

Houston is a good player, but he's a role player. That's what we'd be offering.

Farrell, for example, is a more important player to Port's back half because his kicking is even better than Houston's IMO.

Houston would be great for us though. As would Cumming.

I love Milkshake. He's given me so much joy  and I'm in awe he came back from an ACL but he's Obi Wan Kenobi here  Strike him down and he'll be more powerful than you can possibly imagine as a forward coach. 

Tmac gets another year.  He is in the top half of defenders in the AFL. Not the bottom.   We need to turn over a lot of our list, so splitting the pick makes a bit of sense. Bit grumpy we've lost our second and third for zero return.  

I hope port win the flag this year,maybe they'll be a bit more receptive to trading Houston for a late first round pick but I'm not sure it works like that :)

There is no world I see where either of them net you a top 20 pick or close to.

Sorry, should have been clearer. We wouldn't need to offload a first rounder for Houston, if we packaged one of those guys with a 2nd, for example...

I can cop the Houston stuff if we're topping up & getting guys like Macrae and Peter Wright for cents on the dollar - not necessarily saying these guys but you get the point - established players who will slot into the best 22

Houston in isolation (for the rumoured cost) with the uncertainty surrounding Clarry and the like would be nuts

 

One that hasn't been mentioned much, maybe for good reason given his durability issues, is Changkuoth Jiath (CJ) from the Hawks - out of contract this year

A good runner, but IMO a turnover merchant of the Sam Frost school of chaos.

Yeah, @adonski, if our TPP can afford it, I'd take Macrae.

We finally get rid of all the old broken down or ordinary tall forwards and you go get 2 more?

And you expect ANB and Koz to do the work of 5 players being the midfield and running depth as well as pressure forwards?

I mean, maybe if we sign David Teague we can attempt to score 150 a week and win by a goal?

Not sure where we are finding the money to pay Houston and Cumming without giving anything up either. Nor am I sure who’s playing back pocket out of that group. Hard to convince Cumming to come and play back pocket each week.

Houston’s a better kick because he’s steadier than Farrell and just a much better overall player. I wouldn’t call a high possession winner with an intercept marking/all round game and designated kicker a role player. If that’s a role player then who besides key talls and mids isnt?

Port have Sparrow and Chandler level players, most teams do. They’re worth more to us than anyone else. Durable, prime age guys who crack in every week, even if they’re both fringes of a very good side.

We should offer them someone of quality in a role they don’t have. Given Georgiades probably has to play key tall they do miss a 3rd tall and I doubt they want to leave JHF there as they did last night. They bought on Watts, they’d be the perfect suckers to bite on Fritsch.

A future first and Fritsch for Houston and steak knives would be lovely. 

Personally I'd rather not trade our leading goal scorer for the last 5 seasons!

  • 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

    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.
