haha. Wow.

Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

Not hoping for much but there is your Howe replacement if he has decent mitts...

    Classic Burgan mistake.

    Joel Smith | Victoria | 64 | SG

    Smith was a member of the Australian U19 squad in last years Pacific Championships and was one of the key players coming off the bench, averaging 10.3 ppg & 3.3 rpg on 49% FG. Smith was also a member of the Australian squad that attended the 2014 Nike All-Asia Camp in June.

    You can watch him score 18 points here -

    Somehow I don't think we are going to find any footy highlights ...

    Interesting signing. I know nothing at all about him!

    I will be down at Casey so I will see how he develops next season.

    Vaguely heard about this 6 months ago, but hadn't heard anymore.

    Welcome and good luck Joel!

    "He tests sub 2.80 [20 metres]. Given his basketball , hes got good speed, agility and vertical leaping. Hes also got a solid endurance base, he said."

    This made me think, hmm thats fast:

    Alex Morgan - 2.88 seconds

    Kurt Mutimer - 2.88

    Liam Jeffs - 2.89

    Daniel Rioli - 2.89

    Thomas Glen - 2.90

    Declan Moutford - 2.90

    Callum Moore - 2.91

    David Cuningham - 2.91

    Hisham Kerbatieh - 2.94

    Jordan Snadden - 2.94

    2014 20 metre sprint results (sec)

    Marvin Baynham 2.81

    Oleg Markov 2.87

    Jarrod Pickett 2.87

    Reece McKenzie 2.87

    Nakia Cockatoo 2.90

    Ed Langdon 2.92

    Paddy Brophy 2.93

    Conor McKenna 2.93

    Nathan Drummond 2.93

    Best at the combine of all time:

    Top Combine performances (seconds) Joel Wilkinson 2.75 2010 Jonathan Marsh 2.78 2013 Danyle Pearce 2.79 2004 Ashley Smith 2.80 2008 Marvin Baynham 2.81 2014 Nathan Freeman 2.82 2013 Jack Watts 2.82

    Who remembers when his dad ran off Allen Jakovich at the G from fullback and kicked a goal?

    Welcome aboard son.

    Sometimes basketball clubs/academies measure blokes "with shoes on" as they would rarely play without them...

    Kudos. In a bare season for rumours you nailed a good one

      The Demon stalwart surpassed the number of his father's appearances for the club towards the end of the season. As he approaches his thirties, his pace is inevitably slowing, and he is likely to explore alternative opportunities beyond the team's midfield.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

      The Demon premiership defender who has the reputation the master of intercept possessions as well as great leadership qualities managed only eight senior games this season as he battled injury and form, prompting speculation that he might be enticed to look elsewhere.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #10 Daniel Turner

      “Disco” took his time (four seasons) but the mid-season draftee has been a shining light of Melbourne's campaign, improving to become a versatile option at either end of the ground. He has great marking skills which allows him to play as a marking target up forward or an intercepting defender down back.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #11 Max Gawn

      The skipper delivered another outstanding season, leading the team from the front, participating in every game, and earning club champion honours, while also securing an equal record eighth All-Australian blazer as a ruckman.  Max Gawn is arguably the greatest exponent of ruck skills in the history of the game; an exceptional leader who has guided the club to a premiership, through the challenging times that followed, and now into the next phase of its storied history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #12 Koltyn Tholstrup 

      It was a frustrating season for the former number 13 draft selection, who failed to build momentum in his second campaign; Tholstrup played only nine games, having been omitted twice and substituted out three times. However, he demonstrated promising signs in the midfield at Casey towards the end of the season, and big things are anticipated from him in the coming years.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

      Clayton Oliver, a four-time best and fairest winner at the club, has navigated a challenging period over the past two years, marked by injuries and personal issues, but has demonstrated promising signs suggesting a return to his optimal form in 2025. He is presently contracted to the club for an additional five years, with a substantial annual salary of approximately $1.7 million in the final seasons of his agreement. All at Melbourne are eagerly anticipating his resurgence to his previous peak performance levels.
