AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Yes and just like Griffiths did in 2015, Vickery regressed on his form in 2014 some of which was due to injury and suspension stopping him from getting continuity in his game. Very similar circumstances to Griffiths in 2015. Improvement is not always linear, sometimes a player will have a down year before taking a bigger step up later on. That was my point, just because a player doesn't step up one year doesn't mean that we should just get rid of them.
I'd rather we keep them all thanks
So you think we should only concentrate on 3 games instead of the 66 ( 42-24 record ) that got us to the finals in those 3 years, Griff for Aish is a stupid trade because who steps up if 2 of Jack, TV, Maric get injured at the same time, Griffiths is back up forward and back up ruck, he wont be going anywhere unless he asks for it, some people need to stop basing everything on 1 game.
His tank getting bigger each year & More game time on ball will do this!
Quoted for spot-the-****-on-ness.
1 game? lets see you come up with any game that his starred in? Vicks can kick a multiple goals and gets roasted and this guy doe's stuff all maybe take a mark every now and then woahhhh ohh i forget his a long kick but can't kick straight.
Lol if jack, ty and maric get injured at the same time, i think we would all agree that you could say we are screwed. Yeh i am going to concentrate on those 3 games, because they aren't just "3 games" they are finals! Players and teams get judged on finals performances not in the home and away season. We have failed miserabley in finals and need to work on iur list to go to the next level.
Not much point just yet I wouldn't think. Let's wait til we get closer to the trade period
No because no matter how good a rumor is people posting them get the cane, so not worth it.
If Geelong are after Henderson they will not have a first round pick available to trade for Danger if Adelaide match. As much as Adelaide talk about matching I can see them letting Dangerfield go and taking that extra first round pick and then hitting the draft with a couple of first rounders to make up for losing the Tippett picks.
Been pushing McBean for Yarran for a couple of weeks. A win-win for both clubs especially Carlton as they could get Weitering at pick 1 to play KPD and McBean for Yarran plays KPF. Instant foundation for their spine moving forward.
Difference is that Vickery already had a season where he'd kicked 36 goals in a season, his 3rd year, and the previous 2 seasons he has averaged 1.5 goals a game and this year was his 4th season with 20+ goals.
Agree, trade for ready made options not kids, we have plenty of kids.
Not sure what value Astbury has but if he can land us something that we need then lets give someone who can play seniors regularly the number 12.
Rfc won't trade the second coming of Lids (Lennon) end of story.
Why is everyone jumping all over Griff and McBean? Griffiths had a poor game after coming back from a long layoff and now he's trade bait? he held Ty out until his injury and I still see more upside in him that I do in Ty. All three trade options you people are talking about (Lennon, Griff, McBean) are young players building careers and haven't had a much of a chance to show their worth. I expect Griff to come back strong next year and of course Lennon solidifying his spot.
And for these names/high picks to be thrown up for Yarran/Benell who could come in to the side and really unsettle the group? not sold on this at all. Hope rfc are doing their homework!
