I like the look of this kid. So expect us to pick him, and for him to float around doing SFA for years and polarising supporters.

Well that's good, now having seen his highlights I reckon we should take Brayshaw with 2 and if available Petracca, McCartin, Lever and Laverde with pick 3. Can we take 4 players with one pick?

If he does, then I'll be happy with the pick.

I want all of our picks to have that desire. That competitive streak. It's we're we've fallen down in the past.

Even JKH standing at 174 or so cm doesn't shy away when the ball is there to be won.

It needs to be inherent in their game before they come to our club.

Yeah good post.

We need competitive beasts. JKH is a good example of that. Watts, Morton, Cook etc lacked it big time.

Give me a competitor like Jack Frost (and hopefully his brother is the same). Langford at the hawks shows competitiveness can outlast other skilful attributes. Jetta for us has shown that. he competes. he loves the clinches !!

We have to rely on our new recruiters who can pick players with ability and heart. underline heart.

Don't know much about this kid, but I think I read somewhere however he only gets the pill a dozen or so times a game and is clearly an outside runner.

Reminds me of another Sam Blease and thats not good to me.

I don't proclaim to know much about this kid but credit where credit is due. If you look at him as a pure footballer, his highlight clips represent a type of player for what MFC need.

He may not get a lot of the ball but when he does it's actually really well used. He demonstrates confidence in his ability and sound composure. Wish we could say the same for similar players in our best 22 who only get 10-15 touches a games and fluff a significant proportion of them.

It's a thought provoking avenue this to consider someone like Jayden. Could he be trained into a go-getter type midfielder role? Of course he can.

Is he what our list needs? He's certainly up there for consideration.

Tough job those picking the No 3 selection.

I have greater trust whichever way MFC go with this one at the moment.

    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

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
