    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
