Surprised we dont have a thread on this yet.

So apparently they will be holding a special draft for AFL teams to take partocopants in the recruit as rookies.

Now thay Westrupp is gone does anyone think any of the candidates here could be of any value for us? Waylon Mason anyone?

    I am a bit of a fan of Johan Wagner and Reece Maxwell myself, i reckon both could become players,

    Wagners running is way above elite for a bloke his side and he has the capacity to seriously dominate games, could he transfer it to AFL level?

    I've said it in other threads. I want us to take a punt on Manson. He might pack it in and go back home, but there's a chance he could take to the AFL and become a star for us. Totally worth a Rookie spot.

    Manson was once touted top 5 prospect im 2011 draft. We need some excitement.

    Guess the show is lying then because dazzledavey said so.

    They probably are because I can find no evidence that he was rated top 5, maybe in the rookie draft. They must have mixed him up with Garlett who was rated a top 10 pick.

    We mentioned this in another thread. I agree on Wagner and Maxwell, I rate Wagner a little higher as I believe he would fulfil our needs more so than maxwell.

    He's very athelitic and appears to be able to find the goals.

    I like Wagner and the Jackal. Another thing I was thinking bout the other day, we the success of Hanley at Brissy, should the mfc look at another tilt at the Irish Experiment? Roos seems a fan of it. Reckon we should look at it again. Be a nicevtributevto Jimmy too, could set up a scholarship type scenario

    These guys know how to work hard. I hope Roos has made the current players watch this so they could see how hard others are willing go work for a shot at thir jobs.

    These guys would be cheap pickups and if they are holding a special draft we may have a high pick.

    Go to all the phantom drafts back in 2011 and not once where he was rated a top 5 contender. He was atleast a 3rd rounder rookie chance because of his background.

    Your watching reality tv of course they would pump him up.

    Fact is he was never rated a top 5 prospect.

    Cool.

    We should have a look at him as his 193cm with a huge leap, good skills and isnt afraid to go in hard. Would be a good pickup without costing us anything.

    I can't believe anyone who watches the show would be interested in taking a punt on Waylen. Attitude is nowhere near what is required, which I understandable given his background, but unfortunately it just won't work. And not to mention I have seen very little in Waylen to get excited about from the limited game footage they show.

    Wagner looks like a definite prospect. His kicking action is a bit unorthodox but he is quick and looks an elite athlete.

    Waylen talks abit of trash but when it comes to the crunch he has always pushed through

    I hope we are looking at Wagner. He looks better then half our list and has a good head on his shoulders.

    Wagner all day.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
