We will win more than 5 games so no prority pick for us.

Richmond at the minute looks like Natinui favs, but hey they've won one more game than us.

Carlton have an awful defence and Judd, Stevens, Murphy, and co. don't man up so they'll have their blowouts. But Fev and Judd will win them 5 - 8 games IMO.

Thought about this and after the improved performance last week (Geelong was down a bit but their errors weren't 'fatal errors' - errors that directly lead to goals - like ours. Note: Carroll handball, Jones kick, White spoil, White squib etc.) I really think that we won't bottom out. And with a new coach that wants to impress, the 150th year, and the building pressure of the new media narrative - 'Melbourne is in dire straits' - we should continue to be competitive.

    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

    Then why is he playing league footy for Swan Districts?

    Oh..please I agree.. certainly drawing a short straw isnt it !!

    but then again is it a lot differnt for the many ( not the elite that would walk in to a game early in first season) playing in say the VFL down here..or SANFL etc... I acknowledge not quite on par.. but its similar effect.

    I think you're right re: many, particularly if they're picked up as bottom age players. Not great, but not terrible.

    However, if you're a young gun, it'd be a cruel blow.

    Because, like I said initially, he's a freak athlete.

    Even all the recruiters have said he's still got miles to go before his skills are that of an AFL player, but because of his physical abilities he'll be given time by whatever club gets him.

    Remember he's a 196cm ruckman. Only ones I can think of off the top of my head that are shorter . . . Jeff White and Cameron Cloke. Granted he's likely to grow to a couple of cm but even then it's well short of Cox (204cm), Sandilands (211cm) and the like.

    If he gets tried in a key position post and doesn't look like a fish out of water then he'll go #1 for sure, otherwise there are still a couple of doubts about his game like any athlete-turned-footballer

    • 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

    • 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.
