    Good thing that we got him young as he will have plenty of time to catch up with Nathan Jones and Mitch Clark in the tatts department. Might even see some facial tattoos?

    Number 1.

    Looks like he travelled to Perth a couple of years ago to represent NZ against all our state clubs in the Junior Volleyball Championships.

    I'm interested in seeing how good Sellar was playing volleyball He toured Thailand with a Junior National team

    FMD. Every kiwi athlete I've ever heard of has no neck, weighs off the scale and gave up a promising boxing career. Yet we pick a skinny kid.

    I work with a couple of the Kiwi AFL players who have moved to Melbourne. They say its the skinnny Kiwi kids with running ability who are the ones more likely to have a go at AFL. Partly due to running ability being more important relatively in AFL but also having to play under age rugger against more developed Islander kids is not much fun if you are a skinny kid.

    I must've missed the memo when Taylor joined the club! It was something that was always going to happen but I didn't hear any announcement!

    On topic, best of luck to the young kiwi!

    This is it IMO.

    I wondered who he was when I saw him meeting guys at training the other day.

    Kiwis can't fly, no wonder he's a midfielder & not a forward.

    Lets hope he keeps his beak & claws clipped, & stays away from possum skins. Marngrook.

    But in&unders, could be handy.

    :lol:

    Kurt Heatherley?

    JM. I think that was his name. I met him briefly when he first arrived. Very tall and solid. A great physique for an AFL footballer.

    He qualifies for this year's ND, all reports are Hawthorn are following through on him, meant to be a real talent.

    Choice !!

    Just curious. Since the commencement of the formal international rookie program, does anyone know how many have been selected and of that group, have any ever made it onto an AFL list?

    Of course, perhaps that's how Tadgh Kenneally got his start. He went OK.

    Don't know if Mike Pyke was. The basketballer that the Roos took was. Heatherly at Hawthorn will almost certainly make it onto an AFL list at the end of this year as he becomes draft-eligible.

    Hawthorn bought a Kiwi boy over 2 years ago who had a basketball background. He was going to Caulfield Grammar. Not sure if he is still here.

    We are not bringing him over however. He is staying in Auckland for his education so I suspect that he will not develop much until we get get him accross to Melbourne.

    If we list him as an international rookie, does he have to go into the ND or do we get first option?

    Yes we have first option. You can have upto 3 Category B (International & Development ) Rookiies. They can be kept on the list for 3 years. After that they need to be upgraded to the Senior Primary list or be delisted.

    We have four Cat A Rookies in Magner, Couch, Stark and Clisby.

    "Wh" is pronounced as F in maori... Probably the worst named town is Whakapapa

    That's very whucking interesting.

    I am impressed with his potential from watching the DeeTV interview with him (link below)

    http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2013-02-12/maia-westrupp-interview

    If he keeps improving based on what he has absorbed in a short time, then I feel that we may have unearthed a good colt!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
