Marcus Windhager
That is true Dees offer is 5 year contract and X $$$s Saints had 3 year deal, then upped to 4 years but kept $$$ the same. I think Dees offer is also more $$$s. Saints need to rethink their offer. But they are big on spend for TDK, SILVAGNI, Ryan and ALEER plus $$$ for NWM.

Tairon Ah-Mu - No access for Dees NGA Talent
Unbelievable. We got absolutely ROBBED with Mac Andrew. Then we have the perfect youngster to add as a key forward. But somehow the current rules don’t include his heritage In yesterday’s Finals match for Stingrays 4 goals. 12 marks. 22 disposals. Showcase of his strength and agility and goalkicking.

AFL Draft 2025: VFL prospects
Jackson Voss. Just another reminder of his talent. V Casey Demons. 34 possessions. 30 kicks. 8 marks. His left foot disposal was AFL class. No one on Casey team was even close to his delivery or impact to rebound outside 50. Hit up targets through the corridor. Time to wake up to these quality players that would walk into the AFL system.

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Absolutely. Claremont vice captain who was marked in for a key player in WA Under 18s. Unfortunately didn’t see him but will be interesting to see if anyone takes a chance on him. From Broome to the AFL would be an amazing story. Maybe a bridge too far given he missed 2025?!?!

Welcome to Demonland: Latrelle Sumner-Pickett
The LSP was a lot quieter in his second game. But still has to be on JTs list of names.
-
Marcus Windhager
I’m a YES if he’s truly available Let’s get it done. Windhager would be a massive addition to our midfield. Probably trade out Sparrow if he’s added.
-
Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Ouch. That’s a win for all three. Hope that’s not on the radar … didn’t Warner recommit to Swans on long term contract

The List Manager Tim Lamb
Pending … buffering… on standby … awaiting new coach to arrive Keep Oliver Petracca Uncontracted McVee ✅Hope a new coach and a good contract offer sees him stay Billings ❌ Fullerton ❌ Woey jnr💔❌ Spargo⭕️UFA Trade or allow to leave (R) Verrall ❌ (R) Hore❌. (R) KBrown💔❌ (R SSP) Henderson❌ 8 off the list - Spargo, KBrown, Fullerton, Hore, Verrall, Billings, Henderson, Woey jnr (Henderson was top up so we can add 7) ????!!question marks Campbell … maybe 1 more year , but he goes if we can recruit in another backup ruck like Max Heath Sestan …likely gets 1 more year … needs to really get a big pre season in Contracted 2026 McAdam⭕️sure he has mercurial talent but can’t believe he was 29 yo and injury prone and he got 3 years Maybe he gets to see out his final year 🤞he can stay on the park or he’ll have to retire early Laurie⭕️ elite at VFL Level Just wish he’d got more chances at AFL game and shown something He has been on our list 5 years now Might just seek opportunity elsewhere Contracted. One more year … The Veterans. Melksham Tmcd May McAdam Campbell On the edge. Must prove themselves Laurie Sestan Jeffo Adams Johnson rookies: Kentfield Culley AMW Mentha let’s see how you fit in . Salem Sparrow Salem had some good games but got exposed in others as slow and also slow to dispose of the footy (often sideways and with no impact) needs to discover kicking skills into the corridor Sparrow is stuck as not quite a midfielder and not quite a half forward , so where does he play 7 additions Add Culley as upgrade from SSP to rookie Add Derksen + add another mature player Draft… Add White (likely list) and Sinnema (likely cat b rookie) Add 2 quality youngsters in the draft

CASEY: Semi Final vs Frankston
I agree with the assessment. It was interesting to see which players can stand up … Who stood up? Culley. Laurie. Hardie. Kolt. TC Who didn’t? Sestan. Verrall. Fullarton. Woey jnr. KBrown

CASEY: Semi Final vs Frankston
Casey AFL players looking very average against the suburban VFL players. One team interested and the other (Dees) lacking any fight when the pressure came. Six goals to nil In the last 20 minutes Jackson Voss showed he has to be on our list. Embarrassing for our players. We’ve accepted mediocre players on the list for too long. Now let’s see who stands up when the pressure is on. We have the talent to still win. That’s if there’s any heart.

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Thanks @Pennant St Dee i agree. Farrow should be drafted in top 20 and Swadling in late first or early second round group. I think the Dees will need to find two more onballers in this draft and find value. On current assessments, Rodriguez represents an undervalued player in my view.

AFLW: Rd 04 vs Richmond
I know I post this every week but … Kate Hore is a star ⭐️💙❤️ we are so lucky she is in red and blue. Just super smart and classy. She tough too. 8 tackles in the first half. What a leader And Tyla Hanks. Definitely an A grade player who deserves more recognition by the media. She’s a ripper player.

CASEY: Semi Final vs Frankston
??? AFL listed ? they are not an AFL aligned club !!! They have a few ex AFL listed players who didn’t quite make it and they have some youngsters who deserve to be on a AFL list. Watch out for guys like Gown up forward, Ellison of course, Murphy and Hamill as mids and ball carriers plus Voss and Blamires to break the lines. Some quality VFL players there. Casey should be too good but the Dolphins at home have always been hard to beat.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
What a joke!!! AFL defends its own decision There was no attempt to smother !!!! That’s wrong. That was DEGOEY comments after the match to influence the media !!! AFL website by STAFF WRITERS COLLINGWOOD bull Jordan De Goey has escape suspension Worrall was trying to kick the ball when De Goey came across in an apparent attempt to smother and caught his opponent high. After the match, De Goey insisted the collision was "just a smother", with Match Review Officer Michael Christian agreeing there was nothing in it to warrant a ban. The incident was graded as careless conduct, low impact and high contact, drawing a $3000 fine ($2000 with an early plea). Worrell wasn't seriously hurt in the incident and played out the match

CASEY: Semi Final vs Frankston
Huge test v Frankston at their fortress this year. Plenty of talent on both teams but the AFL listed players at the Dees need to exert themselves. Dees need to silence the feral crowd and get in top early.

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
@Pennant St Dee what’s the go? Fred Rodriguez was super impressive in the under 18 championships. MVP for the WA Team and captain. He can attack and defend. Good size. His tackling was a highlight. Would be great alongside a future Dees mid group of Langford/Lindsay/Windsor. Now all the draft phantoms at putting outside the top 30!!! What the? Get me a pen and sign him up if he’s available for anywhere past pick 16-17 !!! https://wafl.com.au/player/fred-rodriguez

2025 MRO & Tribunal
Jeff Gleeson - chair of the AFL tribunal. 35 year magpie member and coterie group. Michael Christian. MRO. Former Collingwood player. DEGOEY shoulder hits Worrall in the head. Accidental. High. Low impact. Apology issued to DEGOEY for any bruising to his shoulder. AFL is a joke. A circus. A comedy act. Dillon makes his big decision. Snoop Dogg. Umpiring is a disgrace.
