    A few names I noticed from the under 18 carnival.

    Ranga Edwickrama - excellent pace

    Tom Lynch - Strong marking forward, presents well and would be the perfect foil for Bate (dead set ringa)

    Tom Scully - Small forward with reasonable pace, silky skills and plenty of nous.

    Clinton Garlett - Pacy and versatile, can win his own ball.

    Ryan Harwood - Again excellent at winning his own ball, found space and delivered the ball well.

    Aaron Cornelius - Exellent overhead mark and great pace on the lead, reminded me of a junior Robbo.

    The best for mine was Michael Hurley. It's not very often you see a dominant BOG display from a full back, but he owned the game he played at Casey Fields. Keep your eyes out for him.

    its a top 10 FOR THE CARNIVAL, not his top 10 overall.

    Thanks for the caps, we may have missed your point otherwise.

    Stephen Hill (WA) and Mitch Banner (VIC M) were two that caught my eye outside of the popular trio in Natanui, Watts and Rich.

    certainly will

    given we will in all likely hood finish 15th then our first pick isnt too far out of the known.

    That we will also likley have picks 18 and/or 21 then this part of the bunch becomes very interesting..VERY !!

    So what is Steele Sidebottom's name when he's not wearing his undies on the outside?

    I smell a cult hero coming on

    I watched alot of Lewis Johnston, saw him in person on the Wednesday, I think he'll be one to struggle to transition; people are rating him far too highly.

    Strange NikNat thought S Hill was best player of the carnival or WA or whatever it was.

    Let’s get Lewis Johnston. Instead of Watts

    This way we get a key forward then with picks 1-3(what ever we get) we take NAt or rich

    Johnston is under age so he will still develop.

    If he’s in the top 10 this year imagine what he'll be if he wasn’t picked this year and went through to next year

    He won't make top 20. Also, he's not in the same class as watts. Nowhere near it.

    I'd be surprised if he didnt make the top 20, but prob have to see his testing to know, cause I thought he looked a pretty good, well-rounded forward with a bit of x-factor

    Maybe 15-20, but I think more 20-25. Moves nicely, but there's a fair bit of 'if and maybes' about him. I don't see a dominant key forward, more a lively roaming tall. He does have some x factor, but he's definitely not top 10.

    Maybe it's the hair.

    I liked the look of Zaharakis. Not sure why, but just stood out to me for some reason.

    Will do. Will be interesting what WJ has to say

    Tend to agree.

    Has all the necessary ability to make it but his demeanor doesn't strike me as one that will cope with the pressures of AFL

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
