Werribee small forward who's recently done a medical at the Dees according to the Hun.

    Yes - as discussed in the pick 79/83 thread. Really hoping we pick him...

    I’d love to get some more goals out of our small forwards not named Kozzie - so I reckon Jack would be a great get

    Hopefully he’s available at our last pick 🙏

    Interesting that he’s been linked along with the Berry. Seems a small forward is on our wish list. 
    Starting  to look like we will go with two mids, a tall and a small forward with our pick in draft and rookies

    Pardon a question I should know the answer to.

    But did Werribee  win their GF

    Anyway nice kick from the 50m line went through 1/2 way up the goal posts. So nice kick!

    Looks like he is a bit older than 18 so has been made to work,

    Not a bad thing at all.

    Looking unlikely now according to the man himself given we picked two mids with picks 6 and 11.

    Here's hoping we still pick him

    I'm guessing we're going a tall?

    Seems that way - but I'd rather take Jack Henderson. 

    Can take Riak Andrew as a rookie and the possibility of White next year F/S.

    VFL Showreel, GF: Jack Henderson highlights

    He's got a bit of zip and x factor around stoppage. Little bit Papley-esque, dare I say it.

    He reminds me of that kid in junior footy who probably studied every single way that an oval shaped ball can bounce. Whether it comes to gathering it or kicking bouncers.

    With Lindsay probably starting half back and Langford likely starting out as a medium forward/rotational mid I still think the list balance would be well served with a running forward/mid.

    Especially if we get Riak through to the Cat B list.

    Like the sound of him.

    Would be very handy to have a small forward who is also capable of going down back to play a lock down role on opposition smalls.

    Jack Henderson still a chance in the rookie draft tomorrow for the Demons?

    I don't think we have any spots. We retained all six 2024 rookies without drafting any of them to the primary list, so we're still full.

    Disappointing - thought he could have come in and had a Shaun Mannagh type impact

    very disappointed - I'm sure Johnson will be great but shattered for Jack

    I thought we had one spot after elevating Melksham to the senior list?

    We have 4 rookies (Verrall, Sestan, Hore, Brown) plus AMW (cat B) and then Kentfield (MSD Rookie). Max is 6 cat A and then 2 cat b...

    Ricky Mentha might count as a cat b/nga?

  • Quote

    Having spoken to a Werribee coach about Hendo missing, he said it was between Johnson and Hendo.

    Said we can be VERY excited about Johnson, who comes into a full time environment with plenty of room for improvement and stops bending over/working all day as a tradie. Said he is an absolute brute who can play forward in the AFL almost straight away.

    This is brilliant news and means we could rookie Hendo.

    FWIW, it means Yze misses and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. F/S can be picked up beyond 18yo...

    I think we are done, R&BF.

    Thanks for the insight from the Bees coach

    Didn't see the point of re-signing Hore as a rookie. Petty and Turner can play back if the need arises, and we have ample key forwards on our list to replace them. Hore is 29 and had an injury interrupted season. Can't see any upside in the player we previously delisted.

    From what I saw of the Werribee finals, Henderson looks like a real talent, whilst Johnson didn't look AFL level.

    Our list management continues to be puzzling.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
