Just curious as to whether he's someone we may look at? I know he's taller then Jack, probably a medium sized/tall defender. Just curious as to if he's someone who may be a 3rd or 4th round draft selection and whether he's someone we may look at?

    I don't know much but I do remember an interview with him on Hutchy's TAC cup show, he was a very impressive kid.

    Mike Sheehan was talking about him as a possibility to be drafted, which suggests to me that he will go late.

    I would have thought his brother has gone a fair way to getting him drafted. My hope is that we pick him up, would other clubs be scared to pick him up in case he wants to play with his brother? Probably not but I can hope.

    According to some people who have seen him on BigFooty, late pick / rookie / not at all. No doubt being the brother of Jack makes him more noticeable, but nothing special I have heard.

    A friend of mine played against him on the weekend and reckoned he owned the game. I would love to see both the brothers at the club if it panned out.

    I was excited at the sound of him but was hoping by this stage he'd have shown more...

    Worth maybe a 4th or 5th round pick

    We won't be using our 4th or 5th round picks, and if that is where his value is then we shouldn't be picking him up.

    I suspect our last pick will be called earlier than his talent would extend to.

    Obviously quite quick and agile, supposedly hes not as good football wise but I think hes a late developer.

    He was named BOG in Northern Knights win against North Ballarat and he was in the teams best in there 1st final loss.

    Hopefully he is starting to put it together.

    He spoke to 14 clubs at the Draft Camp so obviously theres some interest.

    With any luck we can pick him up late on in the draft.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
