It's not done yet. I don't trust anything about trade week until after the event.

For what it's worth, Cal Twomey is one of the few journalists whose info I would take as gospel, especially the draft related stuff

Clearly the club believes that;

- We are going to bounce back in 2025.

- The top end of this draft is elite.

And probably also;

- It is much easier and cheaper to trade for role-players to meet needs than it is to attract top-level talent.

- Tasmania is coming.

The gospel changes depending on who is interpreting it.

Great result IF he is correct.

Haha not bad. If Cal starts mentioning fish I will be concerned.

 

I'd love to read Bomberblitz if pick 9 ends up helping us win the flag next year.

Assuming the top 8 are gone: Lalor, Langford, FOS, Smith, Draper, Armstrong, Tauru, Smillie. 


Talls: Trainor, Shanahan, Faull, Whitlock x2, Sims

Med/Smalls: Hynes, Berry, Reid, Lindsay, Travaglia, Allen, Hotton, Dattoli
 

Positions us just one pick away from one of the top guys getting though. Could potentially do a live trade back if someone wants one of them bad enough.  


How's them apples!

We're fighting back!!

Yep, Twomey's mail can be trusted

You can see the club turning-over the list ASAP.

Pick 5, Pick 9.

Windsor, Thulstrup, McVee, Van Rooyen, Bowey, Pickett, Rivers, Sparrow, Chandler, Petty. 

IF we can nail these two picks, there is hope we don't bottom out hard in 3 years time.

Who do we take at pick 5 and who do we take at pick 9 (if we get it). Interested to hear everyone’s opinions!

Best mid available and Armstrong please.

I'm hoping we pick up Alix Tauru with pick 9 should we take it into the draft. Tall, aggressive and can play anywhere. I'd happily take him over Armstrong who is rated higher in a couple of phantom drafts.

 


Could we tempt Port for Houston with pick 9..?

My thought too 

Gives us a really strong hand now, who would’ve thought we would go in the draft with two top 10 picks.

We probably agreed not to bid on Kako with either 5 or 9 too, that's a big bonus for Essendon.

5 and 9 in the draft?!? it's like the good old days hey fellas

 

EDIT: Surely, Sam Lalor and Harry Armstrong are who we are targeting

"Trade us 9 or we'll bid at 5"

Recruit someone who doesn't want to come to us🫣

Our list already has too many players who don't want to play for us what's one more 😂

 

Go for two mids.

Get a tall later in the draft if need.

Langford and Travaglia or Reid would be an incredible result. 

If Armstrong made it to 9, which he won't i'd probably snap him up.

  • 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.
