Here's an interesting article from the West: Streets ahead in class

Kick to kick in Bushby Street, Midvale, must have been something to behold.

The street claims a piece of history for producing three selections in the AFL national draft later this month.

And not just any three: Nick Naitanui, likely to be chosen by West Coast at No. 2; Chris Yarran, who many recruiters rate as the most talented player in the draft; and Michael Walters, an AFL/AIS graduate and All-Australian under-18 in 2008.

    From what I've seen of Chris Yarran, whilst I thought others stood out more, he has shown glimpses of great talent. A bit of X-factor about him. Of what I have seen, he has reminded me of Adam Goodes - like attributes. IMO would be very handy player to have on a list, regardless of it being, or not being Melbourne's list.

    Could be the next goodes, but then again, he could be the next tambling.

    Could be, but I seriously doubt whether he could be the next Fiora ;)

    Ruckman take some time to develop, and this kid sounds like he is worth developing.

    I think given the need for young ruckman, he will go top 15. IF he is available when the dees priority and/or second round pick comes up, he could be wearing the red and blue considering we missed out on Warnock.

    Will be interesting to see how the kid goes in the AFL, at 17 it could be a few years before he asserts his dominance on the game.

    Also important to note, drafting a 17yo WA kid could have "trade me home I miss mummy and daddy" written all over it. We cannot afford this at the MFC, that said, we must take the best available player at each stage in the draft if we are going to have a future.

    i have heard he off the field he lacks the determination and desire....

    that could change for the better or get worse?

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
