This bloke was the best thing to come out of Tigerland until he cut his hair. Similar to Chance Bateman in this way.

Worth a rookie spot?

Yes? No?

Have watched him play a lot a VFL football. In a word... no...

Absolutely not. Have watched him very closely. Offers nothing.

 

Such a lil b....


We've spent five years trying to get rid of average players (with a few more to come). Why did you say this?

Perhaps if he adds a Lynden Dunnesque mostache it might be worth looking at.

Agreed! Haha


i rate him, got a lot of heart

There's always one.

Best thing to come out of Tigerland? LOL

Similar to Chance Bateman that they were great before they lost their hair? LOL

Worth a rookie spot? LOL

Yes?No? LOL

Can we get Cale in for a pre-season transplant?

Edit: Sorry Cale.

When you are as small as him you have to be really good to make it.

I am afraid he is not really good.

Was hoping to rid ourselves of supercillious hair growths and you're advocating another..... egads !!!


No way. We have our own 'never-quite-theres' - we dont need any more.

struggled at VFL level when his career at tigerland was in jeopardy, tells me he doesn't have the desire or hunger for it

a massive NO from me

I wouldn't go for him but he has talent. He is not a list clogger etc...I have seen him play 2 or 3 games and he is definielty not a dud.

Agree he's not a dud. He's got a good football brain, reasonable skills and tons of courage. He's just too little and gets smashed too often. If he stays in AFL he will get killed one day.

Not for us

He's not a dud. He's just another kid who can run & catch & kick, but who will never be a consistent league footballer courtesy of his size.

Apropos of other news late today, I've always thought of Nason as being Richmond's equivalent to Addam Maric. Similar size*, similar role, similar output and now similar outcome.

*Note - my assessment of size is purely visual. If stats say different, so be it.

Yes? No?

I would have said David Rodan was the best thing to come out of Tigerland. I never understood why they dropped their one legitimate match-winning player.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
