    Slight sidetrack, but I just saw ad for 9 news tomorrow night (Monday) highlighting an interview with Sam Stynes on life post Jim. 6pm I think.

    kid's a Stynes. He wouldn't allow it that he was there as any charity . He'd want to make a statement. He'd have to understand who's shadow he'd be in. He'd also want to stamp the moment as his.

    Might be interesting. :)

    So... anyway...

    When does Lovett have to nominate us as his father/son option? And if he does, will it be our responsibility to draft him on draft night itself?

  • Quote

    Probably rookie the lad.

    Some fairly decent players have come that path.

    Any updates on young Jake? With the recuritment of Shaun's son I'd assume he's still in line to be drafted either with a late draft or rookie pick.

    i'd think rookie the only possibility

    There was a bit of buzz about him a year or so back. Did he not live up to expectations?

    He ran around for Casey didn't he... Did anyone see him play?

    I just read this thread (commencing 2013) from start to finish. Summary:

    - Promising junior - ball accumulator at that level

    - Had a strong 2014 - "certainty" to make it

    - Had a pretty poor 2015 and suffered some injuries, and was apparently told earlier in the year to improve his tank or the MFC wouldn't look at him

    - Form picked up late in the season.

    I have no idea what to make of any of it. Gut feel is that I doubt we'll take him.

    Running out of spots for him - we only have 4 spots on the list for 3, 7, 46, and 50. Harmes has yet to be signed either for the PL or the 3rd year RL from what I have read.

    Not sure the state of Michie's contract - I had him down as OOC next season but his player sponsor said it was this season. Hunt would find it difficult to survive the next delist window.

    Lovett is up against to get a spot purely because we don't have many...

    Maybe a rookie spot?

  • Quote

    I think the club would go for him if it could place him on the rookie list but otherwise, I don't see him as a top 50 contender which would rule him out for us in the national draft.

    Pity because his father was a late bloomer in that he spent a couple of seasons playing in the reserves at Hawthorn before crossing to Melbourne where he wasn't an overnight sensation.

  • Quote

    If he isn't picked up i wouldn't be surprise if Casey sign him up next year.

    I think we will have at least one more pick by next friday. Maybe more.

    Good decision by the club.

    Yep, agreed. I'm disappointed we've decided to pass on him but the club clearly feels he needs to make some inroads regarding his fitness and endurance. I'd much prefer him earn his spot on the list through hard work and merit rather than be awarded the position because he's a father-son prospect.

  • Quote

    well, if he was a rookie, odds are he would play all year at casey

    and now most likely he will join casy and play at casey all year anyway

    so, depending on how he handles it he may not be losing too much

    he'll get lots of support from mfc and his family and i hope he makes it

    • 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.
