THE INSIDE WORD

Hard-running, strong-bodied medium midfielder with an appetite for the contest. Played seniors for Norwood in the SANFL, averaging 19 touches in seven games this year. Injured his ankle and missed the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. Can win the ball from stoppages and runs hard."

Anyone got the inside view on this bloke, looks an absolute truck, missed the championships and might be a bargain?

    So who out of him and Oscar McDonald should we pick up here (at #40)?

    If you can't kick, you can't play - Coach of the last 2 premierships/

    Also how old is he? 40? Makes 18 year old Nathan Jones look young

    Yeah main difference I believe is that he is played a genuine mid.

    Dean Gore if he is there.

    Love the high socks and kicking style. He looks like an old school footy player

    Not sure what he offers that we don't already have with Riley, Michie and Tapscott. All sound similar types.

    I suppose it depends how many solid midfielders you need in your rotations, and of the ones we have how many are actually good enough. Riley and Michie offer something and I hope that they improve in 2015, but neither are cemented senior players.

    It seems that there are some very solid mids that will go late in this draft. Gore was another mentioned and there are quite a few others that win the footy regularly and hit targets. Tapscott is either gone or to be rookie listed, and we have delisted a bevy of others who weren't up to it.

    Mckenzie and M Jones are not up to it. Bail is replaceable despite his best efforts. Trengove is LTI at best.

    If the solid mids are there late, we should stock up.

    • 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?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      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.

    • 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?
