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 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.

    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.

    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.
