In no particular order:

Van Rooyen

Sparrow

Rivers

Pickett

McVee

 

These five men are the ones that are going to take us forward,  I hope this year or next they are all pushing for the 40 all Australian squad.

We cannot rely on our elders anymore, nor should we. I firmly believe these 5 are the new breed, the new leaders, and have to drive this club forward.

Of course

Left him out as a first year player

These 5 are from 3 to 6 seasons in

 

Sparrow's output has gone backwards this season. Watching from the stands it doesn't appear as though he has a clearly defined role, which may be a contributing factor.

Bowey is one I would like to see hit his stride again. At his best he provides us plenty of drive.

Agreed, I feel as I'm still waiting for a break out game from Sparrow even though he has played many good games

At 26 to 28, are these players considered old? Trac, Clarry, Lever Langdon and ANB? 
 

May and Max are playing just fine this year.

Clarry turning 27 soon

Lever, Trac, Langdon, ANB all 29 next year

May and Gawn both 33

Many years of service left with most of the named players, and May and Max still playing AA contending football. 
 

It’s not time for a complete rebuild. 
 

But I get your original point.

Still crazy to think that Andrew Obst was 27 when he first played for us!

May is far from AA form, won’t be in the squad.  Not saying he’s finished, but have to acknowledge his decline has begun. 

Sparrow has a huge opportunity to step up right now. Hoping, but not expecting it at this point. 

Looking forward to Tholstrop and kynan brown getting games. Some youthful exuberance to light the fires and get some enjoyment back in our game.

May has dropped somewhat since cracking a rib. He was a shoe in for full back prior. 

How long has May been our rock in our backline, and our backline the rock of our team?

Its crumbling came sooner than expected, but I’m not surprised that our team has reflected the collapse of our backline. When your strength starts to get nullified without a step up in performance else where, of course things are going to go backwards.


The list is still in reasonable shape, some pace and class ala Windsor….just keep bringing that in……oh and a key forward so Petty can replace May.

If all the players in the original post played to their capabilities consistently we would have a very solid base going forward 

Re the backline : they have been far more under siege this season due to the significant fall off in our midfield.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

  • 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.
