The Daniel Markworth Thread

Lutz
in Melbourne Demons

I can't stop hoping we select this kid Daniel Markworth - really a high risk / high reward prospect, but I think he'll end up being more than worth pick 12.

Seriously shades of Nathan Fyfe and Scott Pendlebury, although developing as a latecomer to the game.

Here's a bit of a summary:

Daniel Markworth (Midfielder/Forward)

Height: 189cm

Weight: 78kg

DOB: 03/04/1992

Club: Calder Cannons

Profile: Tennis / basketball background.

Has made great strides in a short time as someone relatively new to the game.

Played TAC cup in 2011 as an overage player.

Great character.

Flexible - played in midfield & as a leading forward.

Super athlete. Very fast. Quick first step.

Good footskills. Great decision-making.

    Usually, there's a reason why someone gets to be an overage player in the TAC Cup Under 18s such as injury or the player is a slow developer. Often they're ruckmen who take time to mature.

    Is there any reason known in the case of Markworth or is it simply his relatively short time in the game?

    I don't know a heap, but as far as I can tell, this is his first year playing in the TAC Cup.

    Had a mate tell me he was worth watching, and then Hutchy kept throwing his name out.

    Kicked 34 goals switching between forward and the midfield.

    From afl website:

    Daniel Markworth

    Club: Calder Cannons

    Age: 19

    Height: 189 cm

    Weight: 76 kg

    "Represented Vic Metro in one game at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships as a 19-year-old in first year in the TAC Cup. He had an outstanding year with the Cannons, showing speed, clean hands and goal sense as a forward and creativity in the midfield."

    We've got enough medium forwards don't we?

    He could become a tall midfielder with breakaway pace. If we wanted him, I'm not sure we'd have to invest our first round pick. Second or third round possibility apparently.

    Good point, I couldn't find room for Nathan Fyfe in our 22.

    I think you're right, but our 2nd pick would probably be as late as he will be taken.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
