Jimmy Riddle is one to keep an eye on as far as our drafting goes. Blitzed one of the tests at the draft combine today but was an also ran at others. I bet the recruiting department have an eye on him.

Comes from Delungra in NSW...17 yrs old, 194 cms and 87 kgs. Has size, some skill and played rugby league as a junior.

Plus he likes a big grab and crashing packs. The only footage I've seen was like Jack Hawkings.

For what it's worth his beep test was amongst the best.

    Is this for real? When I was a kid (a very long time ago), needing a 'Jimmy Riddle' was rhyming slang for when you needed to go behind the nearest gum tree in the middle of a cow paddock.

    I was visiting my sister in Nimboida, back of Grafton, earlier this year and the Southern Cross network featured this kid as part of their sports news section.

    Who is he? The estranged brother to Tom Riddle, perhaps?

    Wasn't he a quidditch convert originally? At any rate, he could bring some real magic to the forward-line.

    Best mates with another highly thought of draft prospect Dale Roberts who hales from nearby West Wyalong and starred with the Murray Bushrangers this year. The pair had some problems getting leave to attend the draft combine from the juvenile detention facility where they currently reside after borrowing a neighbour's ute and driving it to Shepparton where they smashed said vehicle which is now a write off. Nobody's quite sure how they made it that far given the volume of moonshine they consumed during the trip and their blood alcohol level readings.

    Shame really but I believe Sheedy's still interested (he once wrote a book about second chance heroes and is currently thinking about drafting Andy Lovett as a mature age rookie).

    I also heard he has a profitable portable toilet rental business anyone know if that is correct?

    Perhaps the MFC could take a Riddle, but only in a double pronged attack with Freddie Clutterbuck?

    You guys are still holding out hope for the Freddo Show?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
