the only way we are going to get him is if we finish last so I don't want to know anything about him unless after 22 rounds we unfortunately do find ourselves in that position. Number 2, will be Daniel Rich. I've heard his name for the last 2 years so it looks like a strong draft if you have an early pick.

    Looks like a good year to be [censored]!

    Bring on Naitanui

    Seems like a bit of a marketing player as well. Those locks of his!

    I honestly don't reckon we'll need to tank it this year, we're going to be shocking and will romp it in for the spoon. Naitanui all the way!!

    very disappointing that we are already talking about this stuff before a ball has been bounced for this year

    Too many people are pre-judging a season that hasn't even started. The "See I told you we were [censored]!" trophy is all ready adorning a few mantle pieces and we haven't played a serious game in anger.

    There's a few candidates here!

    I wouldn't waste a first pick on a ruckman. We need the best KPP in the draft

    I can't believe you think that the ruck is not a key position. You obviously dont play footy. In our team we treat every stoppage as a goal scoring opurtunity and the best ruckmen increase this chance of scoring 3 fold. Just as important position as any.

    Id pick a decent full back ahead of a ruck. You can shark the oppositions if need be. Its nicer with good rucks for sure, but you can play around this ( if need be ) No full back..= you're creamed !!

    I played heaps of footy at a very high level, all you need from your ruckman is to make a contest, your ruckman can win as many taps that he wants but if your midfield can't read the tap and the opposition does they will win the footy. Give me a KPP over a ruckman anyday, ruckman aren't match winners give me a good CHF or FF over a ruckman anyday. Name one first round pick ruckman that is a superstar.

    The Burger will be the premier ruckman within the next 5 years.

    Naitanui is not your average ruck, he has an enormous leap and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th efforts that compare favourably with the best mids in the game. Potentially he could play anwhere.

    Having said that and as Freak has already mentioned Daniel Rich is an aboslute gun of a mid, has already played senoir footy in the West for two seasons with very good results. The other one who has stood out at this stage is Hurley, a KPP who dominates the game regardless of whether he plays forward or back.

    I'd be as happy as Larry if we snared any of these kids.

    If we only win 3 games we can get both Rich and this guy. ;)

    if we win 3 games our priority pick will be AFTER the first round...

    i.e. pick 1,17,18

    I thought that if a team wins 8 or less games in 2 years, they receive a priority pick before the first round. If we were to win 4 games this year, we'd get a priority pick after the first round.

    We won't need to tank this year, we are unfortunately going to be that bad this year that we will probably get a priority pick anyway. (whether that be before or after the first round).

    one of Naitanui, Hurley and Rich would good, the thought of 2 would be even better. But lets stay in our seats, it's only round 1.

    Dean Cox seems to be pretty handy.

    No it's got to be four games or less for two consecutive years. We won five last year. If we only win three this year, then we are in line for the following year - much the same as the blues were.

    Cox was elevated off the Eagles' rookie list in 2000.

    Dean Cox wasn't a first round pick, he was a rookie, that they developed.

    I felt excited at the Dees performance on Sunday. We seem to be building towards a win. Maybe not next week against North but within the next three weeks. The dilemma is, that I've also seen footage of Naitanui - AWESOME!! I don't want to tank all the way to the end of the season but I really want that guy!!!

    I have seen him play and athletically he's a freak but as a footballer he's miles behind AFL standard.

    Be careful or Melbourne will become Carlton on the field - 20 million top 10 draft picks and still can't win a 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.

    • 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.
