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.

    Who touted him?

    I used to play football with Waylon. No thanks.

    Good against crap sides, but soft as custard against the rest. Never used to chase or tackle at all, think a poor man's Jack Watts.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
