Cam Ellis-Yolmen

Hes not the quickest. Can't really get a game for the Crows. A no for me. Setting my standards high this year

Who?

 

I think he is a good prospect and would be worth looking into. Great size and a good tackler. Not sure why he didn't get a run once Campo took the reins, he was pretty good until then. Some knowledgeable Adelaide fans I know rate him highly.


Big bodied mid.

Again, handy depth, but out of him, Bugg, Kennedy & Melksham, Eliis-Yolem's the one I'm least excited about. By some way.

Very surprised he could be leaving Adelaide... I thought his first half of the year was excellent.

 

He looks more like Rio Ferdinand than Rio Ferdinand does.

never heard of cam ellis yolmen or rio ferdinand. sound like hipsters


Sigh. I know, I know, we need depth. But if we get Melksham, Ellis-Yolmen, Kennedy and Bugg, that's a lot of depth that's not really having a huge impact on the starting 22.

At least we'll have a ready B grader to replaced every B grader who goes down injured right?

I think he'll be a good player, he is only 22. I thought he had a reasonable year - especially the start of the year. There are a few flaws in his game, but they are only minor flaws, and should naturally improve with experience. I hope we land him, Adelaide will want our second rounder.

Well thats the whole point in building list depth, so you would hope so, yeah. Better than having F graders replacing our injured B graders.

I hope Sydney and Collingwood show more interest!

better then a whole team of D graders

I hope Sydney and Collingwood show more interest!

I smirked a little reading this :)

He's a genuine big body in the midfield. That could be handy. But there's only so many spots in there and we need classy guys who win the ball around the ground not just those who block it up at stoppages.

I like the idea of Jones, Vince, Viney and Tyson with rotations from Brayshaw, Vanders, Petracca etc.

If Ellis-Yolmen can't hold down a spot in the team playing most of his minutes forward then I don't know that he's worth getting. Bernie could play wing or half back but then we are taking a class player away from the ball and requiring on lesser types to get the footy to him.

One of Hawthorn's big advantages is that Hodge, Mitchell and Lewis are around the ball so much and use it so well. They have a luxury that we certainly don't but barring a couple of exceptions they just don't pick players who can't use the ball well and instead back in their good ball users to win their share. It might be wise for us to do the same.

Very impressed by his efforts eariler in the year

Would love him at the dees

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
