Trading next year's is fine with Kalani and Tarion Ah-Mu coming then. Keep this year's though

I like the ‘ca’t’ which both perfectly describes Ralph’s journalism and Richo’s English.

We need to add quality mature or maturing players. There’s no doubt about that.

But we’ve completely botched our window as a destination club and made a huge mess of the list.

We shouldn’t be afraid of using the draft for high end quality and finding the right mature guys without selling the farm.

The focus has to be on adding quality pieces of the puzzle at the right price. I have zero faith in this list management/scouting team to do that.

I heard him say that and wasn’t impressed. We’ve now likely got pick 6, perhaps pick 5. If that’s not a top shelf youngster or an A grade mid under 25 then I’ll be disappointed.

It’s been said a million times before but this is self preservation, nothing more and nothing less.

We don’t need experience, we need high quality

Tim Lamb and Alan Richardson are both recipe for disaster for this footy club.

Oh no we are [censored] 

Let's just see shall we? Houston cooled because we refused to pay two first rounders.

I'd be staggered if we don't take our 2024 first rounder to the draft.

Having already lost Jordon and Harmes, and now with ANB leaving, we certainly need to restock on strong, reliable mid-tier players who know their roles. That's a vital ingredient that we need to get right.

Bold prediction, sadly unless they work out how to cryo-freeze humans we will never know.


I’d love to ask the question to the Tigers about Nick Vlastuin. Will be 31 starting next year and has two years left on his contract. Could we get him out of there for a late second round pick? If we can’t get Houston, he would be a fantastic addition. Great ball user, great one on one and an excellent intercept mark.

I was actually thinking about the Tigs list if there's anyone we could pry out.

Taranto went there chasing a flag and won't be keen on full rebuild. 

I'd be asking the question of him as well.

Has that been reported? I've only read that we were the sole Melbourne based team willing to offer two firsts.

Thank god Houston appears to have saved us from ourselves.

Taranto is a pass in my books. Continuously butchers the ball and fades in and out of games. After Baker, Bolton and Rioli leave, there isn’t a huge amount left to pick at.

Where’s Baker going?

Either WC or Freo. He wants to head back home to WA.

or the fringe players - yr tholstrup's, spargo's, laurie's, pup's of the world - need to develop into those roles

Edited by whatwhat say what

Dees need to focus on skills and pace through the midfield.

 I don’t think that Riv and McVee are the answer.  They are excellent across our defence and should stay there.  You don’t rob your strengths to try to fix other gaps.  
 

two steps 

1. Recruit one mature player ready to go in the midfield.  Peatling for example would be an excellent addition.  
 

2. use this year 2024 draft to see at least three quality midfielders… this years draft is super strong

No, I'm speculating, but I can guarantee you he didn't cool because of Trac.


Peatling for a future pick and  then use pick 5/6 on another midfielder sounds like a good start

Spargo needs to step into ANB’s shoes over summer.

Chandler is a better option. We need a goal kicking HFF.

  • 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.
