Get him playing at Casey next year, preseason with us. He is big enough to play senior footy.

    Yep, Brett was slow like Sam Mitchell is slow. One of the best readers and users of the ball I've ever season. The people that matter have a very high opinion of Jake's future.

    I was wondering if he was as slow as Freddy twinkle-toes Rockliff,,, could it be another tough inunder comes our way finally.

    I like the idea of a development zones which AFL clubs would be responsible for, to teach the kids.

    And at the end of the day, when the kids turn about 17,,, I'd like to see each club allowed to take Two kids from their zones Per Year as scholarship kids, to be tutored while they are still at school, & they could be run thru the VFL system when they are able to cope with this.

    great for the regional zones & AFL development & it keeps more kids in their home states.

    works well if you end up with a good zone, e.g. Hawthorn. It took them from being mediocre to a powerhouse, all on the back of getting allocated a strong zone. MFC on the other hand...

    For and against.

    For - if he has a really good season at Casey then he is cherry ripe for the following AFL season when we draft him to come in and make an impact

    Against - whilst ripping it up at TAC level will elevate your draft ranking - it may not to the same extent as Lovett ripping it up at VFL level. Could mean we have to play a lot more for him in the F/S bidding. There is a case for what Spirit of Norm Smith said " shhh - send him to the outback for 2015".

    I think I prefer the positive spin - give him experience at VFL level next may give him a jump for 2016 and if we have to pay more in terms of a pick - so be it.

    ( note- it didn't really affect the pick we had to give up for Viney but he didn't rip it up at VFL level)

    Someone mentioned Jake Lovett in the Lyon thread, so I thought id bump this up as he will be in this years draft as a potential Father Son for the MFC

    Here is a recent write up on him from a guy at Bigfooty

    http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/power-rankings-for-the-2015-draft.1085573/

    Jake Lovett (VicC -Mid -Mel F/S)
    Weight: 80 kg
    Height: 181 cm
    D.O.B: 9/1/97
    Style: Stephen Coniglio

    Smooth moving midfielder should get Dees fans excited. This Dandenong Stingay averaged 18 disposals and 2.6 handball receives a game. The son of Brett Lovett should play a few games for Vic Country as a utility since there Vic Country lineup is stacked. Classy midfielder who could find himself leading the Stingray midfield for 2015. If he could add another element to his game then I could see him going in the 3rd round.

    His stats from last season for Dandenong - http://www.foxsportspulse.com/team_info.cgi?action=PSTATS&pID=197829402&client=1-3020-111722-294694-20320265

    Sounds like the type of player that could take a big leap forward in his final TAC cup season.

    He has done some sessions down at MFC this preseason. He has a man's body already. Will spend the year the majority of the year at Dandy Stingrays rather than at his his school Peninsula Grammar. His sister is a highly rated rugby player. (Useless random fact.)

    He did the skills session with the side prior to the intra-club on Thursday. So the club is watching, but there is a lot of water to go under the bridge yet....

    Did you happen to notice what his skills were like George?

    That's from the dees. He can play, aggressive and good skills, but been told by the dees he has to fix a problem with his tank.

    I'm glad that is what he needs to work on - fitness is easier to fix than dodgy skills or an inability to find the footy.

    Colin Sylvia says hello; but I actually agree with you that it is easier to fix, but to be a modern footballer to play the modern game you need fitness.

    • 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.
