I haven't really read much about this guy, from what I have isn't he about 201cm Key Forward/Ruckman. Looking at Draft results quick for a big guy. I would love to have a forward that can kick goals and be a back up ruckman, from what I have read this guy can be that player.

    Not many people rate him on here but if he lasts i think he will be our 18th pick. Even might pick him up with pick 11.

    I have rated him for a while.

    The attributes he shows for a tall like that are very very promising

    From watching this year, I get the impression that Bailey wants our second ruckman to play as a tall forward. Your No1 ruck should ruck for 75% of match time, if you can get a player that can ruck for the other 25% and be a true forward option for the rest of the time and can kick goals you would need to consider with pick 11.

    With the little knowledge I have on this guy, we was highly regarded and could fill the above roll.

    ATM he's an athlete not a footballer. He's has all the attributes to play football but he hasn't played particully well for the Jets and the game against SA in the carnival he looked awful.

    I would rather have a punt on Max Gawn at pick 34. 206cm tall. Would have played ruck for Vic Metro this year but got injured pre-season.

    I wouldn't say he looks an athlete. But that's my opinion.

    Apart from his opening goal in that game, he looked all at sea.

    Jack is a really nice fella whom showed his dedication to football by attending all finals as a spectator.

    Needs to get into the gym as he is so light it is incredable.As we know has speed ,good kick but badly lacks stamina is my summation.I feel he will go late 3rd or early 4th round.I'd prefer Gawn if we indeed go for ruckman type.

    This will depend on trade week - that is if we trade Johnson or Jamar.

    I am a huge fan of Majak Daw for a ruck/forward role.

    Fitzpatrick has potential also but is my second preference to Daw.

    Believe it - they are great mates. Both could be a good get.

    • 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.
