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.

Watch out for Whispering's take on the top draft hopefuls after the national carnival - coming soon.

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 !!

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.

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

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag
