Grant Weeks of Golden Square in the Bendigo football league kicked 21 goals last week and is on a season tally of 130. Kicked 157 in 2010 (?) and rarely kicks less than 5 or 6. I think there may have been discussion about him a couple of years ago but he wasn't picked up by anyone obviously. He is 24, 189cms and 98 kgs so definitely has a presence in the forward line and splits packs. So in the event that we don't pick up Cloke or any other ready made KPF, would he be worth a crack on the rookie list?

Obviously he can play footy, sounds like a natural. I would rookie him. It's sound like he is built like a.jaokovich.

Don't thInk Leigh was as prolific with his goal kicking, but Leigh hasn't been too bad when he's actually been on the field.

Agree Williams is actually starting to show something after an illness marred campaign.

Weeks is good player and definitely worth rookieing, but he doesnt want to play AFL football, he is satisfied with his couple of thousand a game from his country side and working on his farm.

Do you know this for a fact or is it just speculative? Fair enough of course and it would offer one explanation as to why no one has picked him up yet.

Can totally understand that the AFL lifestyle is not for many.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
