Currently watching Waylen playing for Lower Plenty against Heidelberg in the NFL. Very athletic but hasn't done a whole lot but has a huge leap.

In Victoria? I thought he didn't want to move down here.

Yeah Vic. That's what I thought too, ended up with a few and kicked the match winning goal, guy can play!

My brother played for Ord River Magpies who won the flag in the EKFL in 2012 knocking out Waylen's Kurgungu team (no idea what the spelling was/is) in the semi final and played on him for a fair bit of the game.

Now the bro was a decent footballer, not exceptional, just a hard worker, played a fair bit of senior footy in the GVFL as a backman and played on some good forwards and usually held his own.

He said there was no way in hell anyone he has ever played with could match up on Waylen. His jump from a standing start was just incredible in his words. You would be next to him, next thing he was on your shoulders. He was just amazed watching him.

At one stage he had a set shot from the boundary. After confidently kicking the pill screamed out something like "get that so and so up ya" to no one in particular after thinking it was going through only for it to go through for a point. He just started laughing after it happened and had no concerns at all, just laughed.

Would be great if he did get fair dinkum and played somewhere like the NEAFL or the WAFL so we could all get a good look but I think he is a bit to laid back and enjoys the social life a little to much to make the big time.

Here's hoping however.

I would love us to grab this guy. Even if he's only a 50-50 shot at making it, that would be better than our usual strike rate with drafting and he has so much potential. Could fill the void Jurrah left.

If we can't get Waylen Manson, maybe we could get this Waylon?


He looks like he might be able to scare a few. Sauce Merrett might think twice before he tries to collect any of our blokes high again.

Have seen a bit of him at local level. I doubt he will ever adapt to living away from home and adapt to the afl lifestyle.

We've been following him for years now starting with his cameo season up in Darwin followed by a stint on The Recruit last year and finally, we can get to see him in the flesh if we get down to Casey Fields to watch the opening game of the VFL on Sunday week between the Casey Scorpions and Frankston Dolphins.

"there remains question marks over his work ethic and commitment."

Can he do much better than VFL WJ?

It's up to him. Let's see what he does with the Dolphins - it will certainly make entertaining watching because he's capable of doing some exciting things.

I've heard that Frankston have had massive changes to their list over the summer so it should be relatively easy for him to get a game in the first place.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
