We were keen on the Wizard last year, while not as highly touted, could Hannaford's speed, aggression and X-factor be an option for the presumed Nibbler compensation (pick 25...?)

 

 

I'd love 4 or 5 picks in the top 40 this year.

Guys like Jack Whitlock who may slide or his brother.

Hannaford to add to Kozzy, Spargo and Chandler.

Lalor or Langford to Oliver, Viney and Petracca. Hynes too.

Travalgia catches the eye. Lots of options it seems, gonna be hard for them to resist trying to sacrifice next years future first to trade in I reckon

He does look a bit like The Wizard Lite

Looks like he could eventually go through the midfield to me.


Rising quickly and might go late first round. He's got good intensity for a small forward and would pair nicely with Kozzie. Would love to land him alongside a gun mid at 5.

Small forwards can have such a big impact on both scoreboard and defensive pressure. Modern game style is all about speed and they're the role that capitalists on it the most. The last few finals series have shown good small forwards are probably the most influential position on the ground. 

Sorry all. I’m not seeing the frenzy here for Ollie.  He looks okay but he’s not anywhere near Nick Watson.  I agree he can play some minutes in midfield and small forward.  Good energy.  Smart. I only watched the first half Rebels v Dragons and only noticed him 2-3 times to be honest.  See him as a later draft pick.  See how he goes versus Dragons this week and at State Combine listing.

all forwards will capitalize on speedy ball movement. However undersized forward lines will capitalize the most as they prey on turnover and spread. Carlton's duo of Curnow and McKay show you what a functioning forward line could like at the Dees with our current contest and stoppage orientated game plan. 

So we either look for better quality KPF to compliment our current game style / philosophy or turnover half our list to prioritize faster ball movement with our existing forward line. I don't think there is an in-between here.

The Bulldogs present an interesting case study as they have a Hawthorn / Pies style ball movement, however lack any sort of small forward dominance with a Carlton forward line setup.

Port have a similarish style to the Dees but probably have more skillful half back line and good ball users in the middle in Rozze and Butters.

So a Waterman and Houston acquisition in trade season would on paper improve our list considerably.

Richmond have about 6 potentially in the top 25

I originally dismissed Hannaford thinking the goals were a bit flukey and his 2km time in the 7’s is a worry.

But watching more of him I just can’t get enough. I’d love him at pick 9.

Skills - beautiful penetrating kick and nails set shots from 50, functional left foot, handballs really well on both sides 

Physicality - he competes in the air, tackles to hurt and speeds up as he attacks the contest 

Speed - bursts from contests and lays run down tackles.

He smothers, he keeps his feet with really nice balance, he uses his hips.

Might take him a few preseasons but that’s why strength and conditioning coaches make the big bucks.

He went in to the midfield against 3 top 20 picks and beat them all at times.

0.23, bombs long, should cartwheel.

0.48, does handstand instead of exploding from pack.

1.23, loses arm wrestle, arm detached, shouldn't have lost arm wrestle.

2.32, good handball.

3.45, school ends.

4.52, he's very small, should be taller.

All in all, I wouldn't be taking him.

(he's okay, would prefer Hynes)

If we had a pick in the mid 20s then definitely Hannaford would be an option.  He’s good but others are better.  He’s not pick “9” worthy in my view.

Why? Endurance is a big concern, but the talent stands out and from the moment he flipped forward he was dominating games then added an on ball element.

Guys with speed, skill and hardness just don’t come along all that often. 

Pretty mixed highlights to me - very scrappy at times. Not elite from the package above for me.

Looks to be the perfect genuine 2nd small forward to partner up with Kozz. Defs a hole we need to fill in our F50.

A bit of Watson. Bit of Papley.

Midfield scope too. What pick is he projected to be in & around? Haven’t heard about him, but looks good.

Late 1st Round at a wild guess, keeping in mind there will be around 27 (?) First round picks this year post bids ect

Stoofed if I know

I'd suspect it's unlikely we'd split pick 9 but that's just my gut feel

The age had him at 19 but I think as long as clubs tick off his endurance concerns it will be higher.

I suspect if the draft broke perfectly for us we’d target a mid and an attacking player (likely a forward of some sort). 

A trade back could be possible if it’s a small slide.

It would be a bold decision to turn down talls or another proven mid but I love the talent.

  • 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.
