For reference he was taken at Pick 47 in the draft. I think he is a better player than pick 47, but id want some change from Pick 23 - that is over.

Surely, you realise where he was picked in the draft is now utterly irrlevant ?

Damn. I was ready to trade them #3 Jack Billings for MWH and a 2nd round pick.

Does your Son rate Jefferson ?

No! But happy to give him next year, but needs bulk and build bigger tank!

I think you will find if this comes to pass he will be on at least 800 a year for at least 4 years and to pay for this we will need to trade on Petracca to make salary cap space.

If we take a little off our salary cap and end with a clean swap Petracca for Windhager I think this would be a good deal.

Mind you this is all semantics until Geelong sign off on it. We all know they have first dibs on any talent looking for a new home. It's just a matter of working through issues such as what size farm they want.

Our trading of players over the last few seasons has been next to woeful. Is this dude going to be the exception? I don’t think I could take another Sharp, Schache, Daw, Hunter, Dunstan etc.

Least this is a player who is somewhat proven, I’d put him like melksham, Hibberd or Langdon when we picked them up, issue since 2021 is we have only targeted players that aren’t even playing senior football (Grundy excluded)

don't think targetted is fair, landed maybe

but we were the ones who disrupted houston and ended up handing him to the pies on a platter

remember all the dogga links from earlier in the season too

surely if we were in for windy we had a chat to callaghan earlier this year too

at the end of 2021, we targeted and had an agreement in place to land adam cerra...but couldn't get the deal done

at the end of 2022, we lost dogga for high picks, and brought in grundy for little

at the end of 2023, we lost grundy for little, and used the draft picks we had to land windsor and tholstrup

at the end of 2024, we targeted houston, and rumours are we had the deal done, until we plummeted down the ladder and didn't want to give up the high pick / he didn't want to come to us

we target a lot of quality players, but the reality is that not a lot of quality players move at the end of seasons

the likes of schache, billings, etc. etc. have cost us nada on the trade table, and delivered nada on the field

let's see if we can overcome the biggest hurdle - getting windhager to want to come to us

Wait what? Didn't you assure us that Jeffo has this covered?

Jeffo will be a Gunston type player!

Jefferson is currently 21 years of age.

In the year that Gunston was 21, he had just won a premiership and had kicked 46 goals for the year.... in a premiership year..


Jefferson = Gunston !!

PF jumped the shark back in 2007 with Michael Newton but that is a special kind of delusion.

WE DONT NEED ANOTHER MID WE NEED A POWER FORWARD FFS

Nah our midfield is slow and one dimensional other than with Pickett in it.

As a midfield coach, what are your thoughts @Pennant St Dee ?

Think you nailed it with his ability to defend stoppage, holds position and moves offensively when the time is right. I like getting him in for midfield balance. Personally think he’s got plenty as a midfielder in terms of tank, shut down and hurt the other way simultaneously which is very underrated

At the right price a yes

Saints had their chance to have Trac and took Paddy McCartin instead.

Juice Newton has been a huge success since he left

Flags and heaps of goals in SA and at Wangaratta and think he’s on about 150 goals in the Ovens and King league this year in his old age

We should have given him another year to mature

Again a lot like Jefferson

Windsor, Rivers and eventually Lindsay, will change this.

i think adding windsor in there changes it up a bit too

i personally like rivers on half back, but will be curious to see where lindsay ends up - he reminds me so much of sidebottom

Sorry meant the midfield now but presume he would be an ideal balance for our future midfield of the same age bracket.

Still feel that Harmes should have stayed as he played the same role to a degree.

I must admit the whole story did sound a bit like what you would get from a manager trying to nudge contract length or $$$ rather than a 'he sees his future at Melbourne' vibe.

100% what a moment.

  • 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

    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.
