I have seen this kid play over the last two years and I am very surprised he isn't talked about a potential draft option. Talk is that he may go 3rd round to rookie.

Nick is a big midfielder with a big frame on him who has a big left foot as well. Can win big numbers of the ball in the midfield and can influence a game with some big clearances.

I would be absolutely stoked if we got him at pick 40. Would bet every dollar you could almost pencil him in for a round 1 game alongside Tyson and Brayshaw he is seriously ready!

Captained the bushies this year too and already has tasted VFL action as well.

The inside word

Player bio Age: 18 Height: 187cm Weight: 88kg Pos: Midfielder

The in-and-under midfielder got better as the TAC Cup season wore on and capped his campaign with a stellar 30-disposal, 10 clearance performance against Angus Brayshaw's Sandringham Dragons in a losing elimination final. Mellington is a strong left-foot kick, good decision-maker and prolific ball-winner. After overcoming illness early in the year, he finished like a steam train, averaging 25 disposals and six clearances over the final five games for the Bushrangers.

Thoughts?

    What's his pace like? Thumping left-foot kick.

    Reasonable. I mean he has no problem getting to the contest. Id probably put him in the same basket as Tyson in terms of pace.

    Would it hurt for me to send Jason Taylor or Todd Viney an email about this kid?? Highlights aswell.

    Thanks for pointing him out DD. Thought I was watching a blonde haired Dom Tyson with the number 12, thumping left etc.

    Honestly, if a kid like this is touted as a draft smokey and is available at picks 40 and 53, and we forego these picks because we hold onto spuds like Tapscott and Evans, I will spew.

    They'd be all over it dazz. Don't create work for them by sending them emails.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
