    Maybe Louis Emmett?

    Would be very happy with Louis Emmet. Plays more as a key forward that can pinch hit in the ruck rather than a pure ruck. Think is 198 or 199cm so a great height for a fwd/ruck role. Strong grab, clean skills and competative.

    Cooper Duff-Tytler is the other one that's probably going in the first couple of picks. Very athletic and mobile. We won't be able to get him.

    i would presume that if heath came in and campbell is being held over as a teacher / break-glass-in-case-of-emergency then that's curtains for verrall?

    That's what I figure as well. I think the club values Heath over Verrall, considering a multitude of factors especially forward craft ability. As he's out of contract, that's probably curtains unfortunately for WV.

    Edit: WV has kicked 5.7 in VFL this year in 18 games, MH has kicked 8.7 in VFL this year in 10 games and 3.2 in 4 AFL games.

    If Marshall leaves the Saints, they will keep Heath in my view.

    Isn't he uncontracted? If he wants to come here they won't/can't.

    Verrel has improved quite a lot since joining the list, his ruck craft and follow up work is VFL standard.

    However, he has no other weapons. Too short, not a good mark, leap is not great, not a forward.

    Yeah he was meant to be a Grundy style around the ground type and he doesn’t get much of the footy and uses it very poorly. I suspect Heath takes his list spot. No need to carry 4 mature(ish) rucks

    Heath should be a better pick up than R.Marshall due to his age. We need ruckmen who can play forward and therefore is capable of kicking goals. Sadly we miss Luke Jackson. Perhaps Kalani White will becomes the new messiah. Where does that leave Verrel ?

    I’m thinking that possibly Will Verrall could go back, he’s a good size for tall back especially if Tom Fullarton doesn’t make the cut??

    Not sure what Heath gives that Verrall does not, considering the 2 extra years?

    Having TC as 80% ruck time would not be very conducive to any developing player with only 30 minutes per game. He is having a hell of a season though. Hopefully Casey can win it again this year.

    Guess we will know more at the end of the finals.

    Heath looked promising at AFL level. Verrall hasn't played a game.

    Looking likely that our ruck options for next year will be Gawn, Campbell, Heath and Kalani White?

    Your second sentence would suggest otherwise

    Campbell signed up for 2026!!!

    Surely that’s made it less likely than we would grab Heath

    Heath would most likely stay at St Kilda if Marshall goes

    They also have Dodson, who was preferred to Heath late in the season and Keeler.

    • 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.
