Curran was far from average in the Tac Cup this year.

There were plenty of good players in the team, I grant that, but he was not anything special. I was just saying I think the name helped him, thats all.

Not for inclusion on our list, but can someone please provide an update on the status of Cameron Bruce, Simon Buckley, Paul Johnson, Kyle Cheney and Addam Maric for 2012.

Just interested to know.

Hey guys, haven't read through this d so not Sure if it's been mentioned but a mate at work said it was reported in the Hun that melb were not looking to draft in the preseason or rookie draft? Surely he's had his wires crossed as we still have guys training with us and room on the rookie list?

Actually said we would not be in the PSD.

How about Danny Hughes?

The Hun are reporting that he is likely to be rookied by the Saints.

I don't mind the sound of this guy, if we're going for a small forward. I thought he might get picked up in the ND.

Source - Phantom Drafts on Bigfooty - I think it's Knightmare's:

Haiden Schloithe (WA - Fwd)

Height: 179cm, Weight: 72kg, DOB: 16/06/1993

Recruited from: South Fremantle Football Club

Style: Mark LeCras

Player comparison:

Range: 40-rookie

Profile: Really good user of the footy. Looks dangerous whenever he gets near it. Good reader of the play. Has that radar where he just knows exactly where the goals are. Tackling great and in combination with his speed is a major weapon in his game. Looks incredibly draftable. Has nice strength through the hits which makes him hard to tackle. Is allot quicker than I thought running a 2.80 over 20m at the state screenings and also has a nice running vertical jump which is another nice surprise. Has really impressed me and stood out in the couple of games I’ve seen of him. Can play up the field but just love what I’ve seen of him as a forward! What he needs to work on is endurance, endurance testing at the draft combine was poor and is what will see him slide but don’t let that discourage you. Can absolutely play.

this guy could be another Tom Rocklift, who was rookied by brisbane and is now one of there best mid...

Cameron Bruce and Kyle Cheney remain on Hawthorn's list as does Simon Buckley at Collingwood.

PJ is on Hawthorn's permission to train list and likewise, Maric is training with the Tigers.

Thanks WJ. I had thought Bruce had some performance hurdles to achieve in order to get the second year. Am I wrong in thinking that, or did he actually achieve those requirements to get the second year?

I say that because, from a distance, it looked to me like the Bruce Hawthorn experiment in 2011 didn't track too well.

Didn't achieve them but looks like they will keep him on.

Having said that - I am not certain. I couldn't give a flying about Hawthorn's list management so I haven't studied it closely.

This is a list of potential prospects for the Rookie Draft there are a couple of here that we are already looking at.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/126608/default.aspx

It's a bit surprising that this kid didn't get drafted perhaps there's more to it, like too small, or not enough pace?

There will also be plenty of midfielders available at the December 13 draft meeting with West Perth's Shane Nelson probably the most surprising non-selection at the national draft.

He's a prolific ball winner with great endurance who can go forward and kick a goal and will surely be given a chance to impress from a rookie list.

That's something that we could use.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    TRAINING: Wednesday 11th December 2024

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
