Steady on JCB. I didn't say that, but thought his endeavor & basic skills were good and his workrate was high and consistent. An interesting kid.

Observations from my only venture to the U-18 's this year. Until the Etihad games, anyway.

There seems to be lots of choices this year, feels like more than most years?

Hey,this is the guy you thought was a beauty,we saw him at Visy park.not Etihad !

    Lin Jong certainly fits in with jcb's traditional policy of simply backing the bloke with the funniest name. Serhat Temel anyone?

    Although I think this could be classified as a racist statement,I do accept that I did put up Serhat a couple of years ago,but I never thought you wouldn't comment on names since your fellow mod,WJ, put up the name of Zyrus Waylen Manson.I would have loved to see you take on the boss in this respect.Maybe you have eaten too many rotten Tasmanian apples. This would be your only excuse.

    Furthermore, maybe, just maybe, you could look at these fine young footballers whom may have been new to this country and value what they are doing for football. The AFL is trying to turn the game into a world game and, I for one would love to see our club, MFC, try to gain Chinese athletes to try out our game.

    I suggest you view-http://www.bomberbli...pic=60646&st=60, to gain further insight seeing you are so far away from the mainland and don't get the opportunity to watch these young possible draftees.

    As for Serhat Temel, I am not the only one whom thought Temel had ability and 1 supporter thought he should be No.1 selection for this draft,refer.. post_old.gif 27 Jul 2011, 23:51 #11

    Take care jayceebee. You have no grounds for making that allegation. You should withdraw it.

    Yeah, I know John, but I didn't think he was the best thing since sliced bread.... But I thought he was definately one of the best players that day and worth noting. Very good athleticism, etc...

    I just wasn't equating him to Jonathon Brown.

    I expect Jack would've just taken it as a tongue in cheek comment as it was intended.

    You are such a racist!

    Actually, pointing out someone likes players with funny names is more like Namism...

    And that is damning.

    Or is it Van Dammeing?

    No, just damning...

    Sorry JCB, I'm not disagreeing with what your saying, but I don't want to talk him up that high. I haven't seen enough of the kids to compare over the past twelve months.

    Lin Jong looked impressive on that day, I agree with you. As did the little red head? But I haven't done the study to back a player that highly.

    You've seen more games than me, so I'll trust in your impressions.

    Several possible rookies trained with us today- Lin Jong wasn't one- however did notice Fletcher Roberts was there.I refer to this clipping with regards to his background.http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/dragons-charge-to-tac-cup-victory-20110925-1krrj.html

    I was aware of that- Rpfc & I go back along way.Don't worry I won't let Dorothy get me sucked in.That is why I sarcastically went back to him with my remark.I am too smart for her.

    That's exactly how I took it.

    Believe me jayceebee31 if I thought there was any racism in those or any other comments I would have done something about it.

    I think it would be great for the game if Lin Jong made an AFL list and the same goes for Freddie. It's just sad that the late Jack Dyer is no longer around to do football commentary because if he was and Freddie's playing, it would put the radio station off the air.

    doubt he will still be there at 36

    Went at pick 33.

    Fair point - I took it literally. I strongly do not believe anyone should muck around like Nasher did. To me that is not funny - ha ha.

    Dorothy? Girl jokes?

    Forget racism, you're getting into chauvinism territory...

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank jayceebee for unintentionally making this the most entertaining thread of the off-season.

    It's Pilkington-esque.

    Bravo.

    I saw Lin Jong play - fantastic - after half an hour I was hungry again to see him play.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
