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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
