The recruiters will have to earn their money with this draft. Not that I'm an expert, but I'm seeing more Farren Ray's and Ryce Palmer's with some of the top mids, rather than Judd's or Ablett's. As others have mentioned the guy from SA does have a bit of Goddard about him, but having a look at him in the midfield would have been preferable. Unlike a certain other bloke we took who was around the same height he does seem very willing to go in when it is his turn. He does seem to have leadership and elite footskills.

And if we pick him as a kid - let him play at Casey for a few years.

Yeah you're probably right, no similarity at all and anyway, Cale wasn't tearing it up as a junior like Josh is, was he.

Anyway Cale is now a hulking 192 cms and 88 kgs.

Morton cut dangerfield a new a-hole in one game which put dangerfield down the list and Morton up. There is nothing about josh Kelly that in any way is similar to cale Morton, unless its endurance or beep test stats. 2 entirely different bodies and shapes.

Josh Kelly is nothing like Cale Morton.

Kelly has the highest work ethic of any player in this draft.

Morton has no work ethic.

Kelly, Aish and Sheed are all guns.

Be interesting to see how Kelly and Aish go for the rest of the year.

Morton was the player of the Carnival in his year and also the fittest. I for one never doubted Cale's work ethic, especially in his first couple of seasons. It was his physical side and skills which let him down.

Is Toby Nankervis related to the Geelong Nankervis family jack?

Brenton Phillips gave Stretch some brief but good wraps on SEN yesterday.

There's a podcast, but it's only about 30 secs of a 15 minute interview.

Said Billy has all the attributes of his father, who BP played against.

Really has the desire to go with the skills. Will play for SA next year.

Also should grow another couple of inches.

(That is, SA U/18 coach Brenton Phillips)

I had the privilege of catching up with the Stretch family, and young Billy is a great young kid. Extremely well mannered. I asked him if he was looking forward to coming to Demonland at the end of next year and he replied ... I hope so, if I am good enough. He is very much looking forward to next year. Only negative ... he has the build of his old man ... very lean ... needs a few steaks into him.

If the physical side of things and his skills let him down, then his work ethic should be put in question.

He should've worked harder on his skills and definitely should've worked harder on his body.

Cale come to us a stick figure and left the club as a stick figure.

His work ethic was nothing short of pathetic, on the field and judging by his body and lack of skills, his work ethic off field was also pathetic.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
