So we’re does our improvement come from?? So basically our trades for the past 3 seasons has seen, Hunter retired, Shache delisted, Fullerton & Mccadam can’t get a game, Billing’s only getting games due to injuries. The mess around the handling of Oliver & Trac! It obvious no decent payer wants to come so Who’s to blame for this mess?

The media want us all to believe that trades are the main things that allow you to improve. They want trades linked directly to hope. 

But what lets you improve is really careful list management, player development, footy strategy, injury management, luck and all sorts of other things. Yes, trades are a part of list management, but so is drafting, maintaining a good balance in areas like position, age and experience, developing depth and so on.

We didn't, our star player did.

My understanding is the only way we messed this up is our first pick driftedmuch higher in the back end of the year than when we were willing to part with it for the proposed deal. Then both parties cooled for differing reasons.

Windsor

Tholstrup

Rivers

McVee

JVR

Jefferson

Turner

Kozzie 

 

This is where the improvement comes from 

I would love us to have a crack at 

1 Tim Membrey

2 Matt Kennedy

and possibly 

3 Matt Owies

all would be upgrades for us

 

Fin Macrae is considering his options off the back of struggling to break into Collingwood’s senior side this year, per Mitch Cleary. 

 

We were interested in his draft year

PETTY

CHANDLER

SPARROW

You are kidding yourself, Sparrow and Kennedy would be on par and Sparrow is younger.  Chandler is defensively superior to Owies but I agree I would see Owies as a slight upgrade but there is no way you are playing Membrey over Petty.

Fit and happy Petracca, fit and moderately sane Oliver will help…

When does a trade revolutionise or even revamp? Lever and May took a year to get going. 

Like another posted listed - improvement comes from within. Rivers and McVee continuing to allow CP5 more time forward, Petty being fit will give this experiment its final beta test, Pickett providing more explosiveness in the middle, AMW and Woey releasing others to do more in the backline, and continuing to commit to a game style that suits a team that has no dominant tall forward and needs to move the ball quickly, with dare, and not wait for May to kick it or for Gawn to mark it.

Wasn't he highly rated, where would he fit in, what's his point of difference or weapon?

Which one of Petty's 9 goals in the same amount of games as Membrey's 30 goals, impressed you so much?

I really hope the experiment is over.

Let's see how he goes with a pre-season though. Getting Membrey in also allows us to shift Petty OR Turner down back, as defensive cover. Given we won't have Tomlinson anymore and Tmac and May will be 32/33 years old respectively. It might be something we need cover with. Derkson is an unknown commodity in that regard.

Petty looks lazy when playing forward. Could Tomlinson stay for a year, not much appears to be going on from trade point of view

I don't think we're getting Membrey in any case. Personally would just move Petty back and use Tmac as Depth. No more than two talls in the forwardline. Go smaller and focus on moving the ball rather than playing a bunch of NQR key forwards.

Why do you say that? It's the kind trade that gets done on the last day for a bag of chips, when all other business is attended to. And we've been rumoured to have been in talks with him per sam Edmund.

Because we've already flatly stated we're not interested as of 3 days ago? Just because we had a chat with him a month ago doesn't mean we're still keen.

Did we? Tim Lamb? I must've missed wherever you heard that, I haven't listened to any media this week,

Edit: Nor seen anyone bump the TM thread.

Yes, was a question asked at Tim Lamb's press conference earlier this week right towards the end.  Was a flat no.

  • 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.
