Cal also said Fritsch is ‘gettable’

He might well be if he’s on the outer now and doesn’t want to change

    A lot of moving parts to our tall forward line making it hard to predict where it will end up.

    Petty and Turner can play either end. Johnson was touted as someone that could play back as well and while we've persisted with JvR forward, he performed very well at U18 level in defence and could potentially move there.

    If Jefferson makes it, he looks mainly to be a forward while Kentfield has looked better behind the ball at VFL level.

    If we add Morris to the mix (more of a 3rd tall but plays above his height), what would our ideal tall fwd set up be?

    Petty, JvR, Morris

    Jefferson, JvR, Morris

    Turner, JvR, Morris

    Johnson, JvR, Morris

    Petty, Turner, Morris

    Petty, Johnson, Morris

    Petty, Jefferson, Morris

    Jefferson, Turner, Morris

    Jefferson, Johnson, Morris

    Or do we play with only two talls. And if we keep fritsch, do we play 2 talls + fritsch or 3 talls + fritsch.

    We were reportedly keen on Waterman last year who is also 191cm so we obviously don't see height as an issue and perhaps that type of player, particularly one with some athleticism and strong overhead, could complement our team.

    I think we were after Georgiades too and he is around that height.

    We would need to turn the club around to make it appealing to him.

    Money talks and he’s 19. Easier to take a risk on a club at that age then when you’re approaching the tailend of your career (i.e., Houston).

    Does our Morris interest mean Jefferson's days are numbered.

    Out of the team when injured but no mention of him since recovering ...

    It would be foolish to not have a contingency plan in place if Jeffo can't find a bit of intensity to his game. Shades of Schache and Weid

    The tea leaves can be telling.

    It's anyone's guess how they are assessing Jeffo at the moment. Kind of feels like they were obliged to give him his debut but no further plans.

    Can't see him leaving unless the Lions are offering him an insulting contract.

    Interestingly, G Healy and B Johnson on SEN re-casted the 2023 draft order and had Morris at #1. Windsor was at about 4 or 5 and Kolt wasn't mentioned.

    They had Reid at 10 so I wouldn't be putting too much stock in that.

    Healey would be close to the last person i'd been taking draft advise from.

    The problem is, I don't recall a player ever doing this. Does anyone have any examples of it?

    I believe you cannot teach/train a player to really improve intensity, hardness and general competitiveness. You either have it or you don't.

    We should be looking to trade him for what ever we can get at the end of the season before he just becomes completely valueless.

    Trade him now for hopefully a late 2nd or keep him on this list for 3-4 more years and delist him.

    Easy decision IMO. Same for Fullarton.

    I see Logan Morris as a similar player to Nate Caddy that ultimately turn into a Brody Mihochek type which I think is the model forward of the modern game.

    The Sam Darcy’s of this world are a unicorn.

    Yes. One of his strengths is his contested marking. He is a one touch grab player.

    Oh good, we will beat that out of him and make sure his hands turn to concrete.

    I think Healy is a good judge of talent. Often when he is commentating he mentions the qualities of a player I've never heard of. He is usually right.

    We simply do not have the gamestyle for undersized key forwards. They way we move the ball slowly and try to get repeat entries and bomb it long means the only type of KPF that would truly do well in our forwardline is a genuine 198cm+ type.

    youre probs right overall. Cotchin was considered a 'soft' player then became more of a kamikaze maniac later in his creeer. I remember Brad Green was more outside then became the same maniac later in his career.

    Some can be calm gentlemen in normal life like Dangerfield then switch into absolute beasts when they cross the white line.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
