Demons hold the key to Gold Coast draft pick

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Alex Keath is a 17-year-old Melbourne Grammar student who is being keenly sought by both Cricket Victoria and the Gold Coast Football Club.

At the moment, the promising 196cm all rounder Keath, who was a key player in MGS's cricket and football premierships in 2008, is a Demon.

He is playing in the Melbourne Cricket Club firsts in Premier Cricket today.

Based on all reports he would make a great AFL player as well but it's probably unlikely that he will be able to emulate past stars such as Max Walker, Graeme Watson and 1964 grand final hero Neil Crompton by being a Demon in both cricket and football.

    Interesting. Can you give us anymore info alpha. Ie. Are the Demons aware of this kid? The Melbourne Football Club that is.

    No doubt they would be, but as he's one of the 17-year-olds available to the Gold Coast as a priority selection, Prendergast and co wouldn't have spent too much time thinking about him.

    He's not yet been signed to GC but recent reports suggested that he is a certainty to be among the last batch of recruits.

    Like Josh Toy - who likely would have been a top-three selection in this year's draft - he was never really a consideration for the Demons, or any of the other existing clubs.

    Plays for the Melbourne Cricket Club - they're the Demons!

    Since earlier this year the MFC is affliated again with the MCC.

    I've heard the name before, why?

    Didn't he stand opposed to Jack Watts in a schoolboy game a year ago, when we were all debating Watts/NikNat/Rich? Big age difference but I think I remember someone saying 'this kid Keath kid matched Watts very well'. Suggestion that being held by such a young player was a bad sign and a question mark on Watts?

    Correct weight. Keath played FB on Watts in the BGS v MGS match in the APS football comp last year.

    Demons won easily against Frankston but Keath had a quiet day takin 0/28 off four overs. The Dees were so dominant that Keath wasn't required to bat.

    Yes he was Jack's direct opponent for the day. However he never able to go head to head with Keath at any time during the match except for a few occasions late in the game where Jack managaged to snare 3 goals in the last quarter and get Brighton back from 6 goal deficit. Keath played well, but Jack was 1 on 3 and was bombed on his head all day, ala Nick Reiwoldt in the grand final this year. This is not a worrrying sign at all.

    • PREVIEW: Brisbane

      They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
