Welcome to melbourne Joel.

Definitely looks 193cm.

 

I wonder what his skills will be like.

Generally basketballer's are fairly skilled so hopefully he is a good set shot and possibly play in the forward line with Hoges.

 

Anybody who is about 1.93 metres and can run sub 2.80 seconds for 20 metres is seriously fast.

He would have decent peripheral vision, fitness, and adherence to strict instruction to play at a high level of Bball, but that's about all you can read into it as far as how he adapts to footy.

Most bball players I have come across that move into footy are all over the talent spectrum but they all really buy into the structures - makes sense to them coming from bball.

Under 19's last year, so has anyone worked out how old he is?

18, 19, 20, 21?

The article says he is 19

Jesse Hogan & Joel Smith.

That's a combination I would like to see...

 

We just need to pick up Lovett and all of a sudden it's 1995 again.

It's the day for it. We're just now getting in touch with Marty McFly to get his signature for next season, last season, and 1987.


Jesse Hogan, Joel Smith and Jack Watts!

I'm still amazed by the Geelong recruitment of Mark Blicavs in similar fashion and how much he evolved.

Would love for Smith to become our Blicavs.

So, what are the rules for a Category B Rookie? Does he need to be upgraded like any other rookie if he is to play? For the purpose of playing list numbers, does he take one of the rookie spots? How many years can he stay on the list as a Category B Rookie?


Seems like a good time to revisit:

Was sitting right behind this mark, the only interstate game I've ever been to.

Genuine surprise and excitement over this announcement.

Hats off to the club for playing their cards so close to their chest this trade period.

Wow!

I love the romance of the preseasons' endless possibilities.

The drums are sounding and it feels great.

Bragger...... That is pretty awesome though! I wish

Me

Who mentioned this in another thread? Good work.

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

Me....back six months ago...

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
