How many under 180 do you need on your list? How many in the Hawthorn or Freo sides? Bit unRoos like to go for midgets.

Mzungu 181cm

Suban 181cm

Grey 181cm

Langdon 181cm

Deluca 180cm

Weller 181cm

Melbourne

Stretch 180cm

Kent 178cm

JKH 173cm

Garlett 180cm

Jetta 180cm

Height should never be an issue. If Hrovat is seriously good enough to make it then height won't stop him. Lachie Neale is someone we would all love to have in our midfield as he is a huge ball magnet. And that's what we need is more midfield depth who can actually win the footy and Hrovat is that type.

If he was there I would no doubt jump at the opportunity.

Btw going by that those two club you mentioned have more smaller players then ours.

Bit of research wouldn't go astray.....

I've rewatched some of Hrovat's junior performances and a couple of his Doggies games. The Sam Mitchell comparison holds up. His composure and ball use is still good at AFL standard and he is worth pursuing. I'd be much happier giving up our 2nd rounder for him ahead of Melksham.

There are 4 mids in that lot under 180cm.

I agree that height isn't an issue if you're good enough, which is why I'd love Prestia.

I'm not convinced Hrovat is good enough.

I added more players including the young and up coming kids.

Boomer Harvey 1.72 just saying

Yes and he's "good enough".

And will get better with experience.

The ball spends as much time on the deck as it does above your head in the stoppages. You don't want 10 175cm midfielders, but a mix is not a bad thing.


Forget about what height he doesn't have. Look at what he DOES! We need real speed and contested ball winning ability and while he isn't elite, he is above average at both.

If he joined us, he would be only behind Viney as a young mid with both these specific qualities

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
