    Very suprised would have been there at 18 they must rate him very highly what do we know about him??

    Can someone tell us about this kid?

    I think he's an inside mid? if so then a direct replacement for Brock

  • Quote

    Tall midfielder who accumulates possessions and uses the ball well, but not as damaging as a Tapscott or Davey type. Not a genuine inside mid; rather, one that can do both well. Not super quick, but runs all day.

    Champion junior footballer who plied his trade in the Eastern Football League (Norwood, I think). Won a pile of league best and fairest and entered the Eastern Ranges program as soon as he could.

    AIS/AFL graduate, Vic Metro representative in 2008 and 2009, TAC Cup Team of the Year in 2008 as a bottom ager.

    He's very highly rated and was considered a near certain first-rounder by many. High second-round at worst. We took him earlier than was widely expected but I don't think we've taken him earlier than his talent merited.

    From the Draft event Connoley said they were going to toss up between Lucas and Gysberts at pick 11. I want to know why they picked Gysberts above Lucas bc Lucas was widely rated higher.

    welcome jordan! a dee supporter to!!

    Read somewhere he is a Filth supporter! :mellow:

    Can someone tell us about this kid?

    He considers himself to be most like Jack Grimes in terms of how he plays.

    Considered an introvert too. Which is the opposite to a Taylor / Thorp, so fine by me. ;)

    An inside mid with superb kicking and handballing skills

    Watching his youtube footage, his tackling looks a prominent feature and I fancy it would be one the would impress the recruiters.

    What was the injury the kept him out of the testing at draft camp?

    You tube link to Jordan

    Is that Gysberts highlights package or a Scully highlights package?

    Not sure about this kid, but gees Scully is a gun! :lol:

    My jaw hit the ground when this one was announced, I still can't believe it. Talia? Black? Lucas? No, Gysberts! I hope the kid has skills, massive expectations on the number 11 pick rated by almost everyone as a 2nd to 3rd rounder.

    Third round? Who have you been reading?

    Gysberts has long been considered a chance to go in the first round. He's been an elite talent all the way through his junior career. Don't let your 'disappointment' colour the reality that he's an exceptional footballer.

    Not so much disappointment as it is shock, there was a buffet of talent on offer at 11 and Gysberts is a name that came from way out in the left field. You are probably right though, I am most likely misinformed. I'm just hoping he is every bit as good as those other names I was expecting to hear.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.

    • 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.
