Is Parish very quick? IMO a lot of good outside mids at U18 level are really struggling with the contested brand of AFL footy. (i.e. players like Toumpas and Aish). I feel outside players now need to be super quick like Lewis Jetta and the Hill brothers to be high quality AFL players.

Agree completely, whats your opinion of Rhys Matheison, I reckon he will be a gun and we should take him, loves the contested ball which is a bloody non negotiable these days, soft coxs are iut...and looks to have good skills..IMO he will be the Bontempelli of the draft.

    Parish = Dale Thomas and Jack Watts

    DARCY TUCKER IS THE MUST. SKILLED TOUGH MEAN COUNTRY TOUGHNESS AND PACE. GET HIM.

    And there must be two Darcy Parishes. The one I saw was in and under and at every contest.

    I feel sorry for the poor bastard who gets the "privilege" of being picked to play at the MFC...

    Jake Lovett was BOG for Dandenong today. It was his best performance for the year. Hopefully he is firing at the right time.

    Parish is competitive. Tucker has question marks and his kicking isn't as good as it needs to be as a running half back. We have so many holes. Weitering should be the number 1 priority of we can find away to let Carlton and maybe Gold Coast get ahead of us on the ladder.

    Have you even watched him play..? Absolutely nothing like Bont. Infact he is a complete opposite.

    He needs a fair bit of work on his disposal and cleaness of the ball. No thanks we have enough of them

    'Norm', Thomas and Watts are very different types of players so not sure of your point here.

    Thomas pre injury was an absolute gun.

    Balic. We need his skills.

    Balic & Petracca rotating forward and mid would be a real handful I think.

    I wouldn't mind a tall like Weiderman though...

    So which one of those top prospects is fast, has an appetite for the contest and has great skills?

    Parish for sure.

    I worry about the skinny kids. We have seen many times skinny kids being aggressive in underage and as soon as they hit AFL they get pushed off the ball easy and lose confidence.

    No, I've seen some skinny kids & not so skinny kids who weren't so aggressive at junior level come into the AFL.

    I don't know of any talented, aggressive skinny kids that haven't made it at AFL level that's why I'm asking you to name them.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
