Question: Would there be a benefit in paying out M. Jones and Terlich's contracts at this late stage and promoting King and White? We could offer to recruit them both into Casey (where realistically is where they will both spend all their time next year, whereas White may be a chance in getting a run and is better depth). If we did this it may allow us to look at anybody of interest in the PSD or selecting three rookies. At the very least, it would significantly strengthen Casey and provide MFC more depth (c.f. retaining M.Jones and Terlich when we have different needs to when they were drafted)!

Yes and no. Yes, we would benefit by paying them out and No, Viney said on thursday it won't happen.

    Greg Clark would be worth the punt as a rookie, good size uses it well and shows some leadership, my question mark on him was hunger because from a young age he has been a standout. He wasn't expecting to be picked up as interest had dimmed so that hunger may be ignited, worth a punt IMO

    also was very impressed by Snelling in his game for SA against WA earlier in the season, he was their standout mid on the day, he is not big but like the way he goes about it and has some hardness for a smaller player

    Jordan Snadden is another who has talent but in games I saw him play lacked urgency, as with Clark will the rejection make these gifted youngsters realise it's time to knuckle down to realise their dreams

    It will be someone that none of us mention.

    Hope someone picks up a young Canberran by the name of Tom Faul - good kid had a couple of injuries last year - did a syndesmosis (high ankle sprain) then a PCL just prior to draft combine last year and played as an over ager for NSW this year along with GWS NEAFL duties. Will play half back as project player, he is still relatively new to Aussie rules, has an awesome leap (comes from a volleyball background - was aiming for the combine vertical leap record before his injury last year).

    I'd be happy with Snadden, boy can run. Thoughts on Hinchliffe, PSD?

    Jarrod hayne?

    Gach Nyuon is very much a project. Given our lack of ruck depth, he could be worth a flyer to sit on the rookie list for a few years. King is still a project, why not work on another one and have options if King doesn't pan out.

    Really like Hinchcliffe, loves the competative stuff, not as polished as others but hard at it, WA'S best in this years under 18's and showed those more talented what hard work does for you. Only really got serious about footy this year as he was focussed on cricket previously. Would be a good pick up

    We need an X factor player.,.. the kind of player who can electrify and tear a game apart and do the unbelievable. Every Premiership team has one, maybe two.

    Petracca may be that player... but I'd love us to unearth another Jurrah or Woneamirri type.

    Ross Tungatulam is the guy your after.

    Agree Ross has a human highlight reel on YouTube watch it, worth a punt what do we have to lose!

    I feel a need for speed

    Theres no doubt we lack that burst factor. I hope they are emphasizing it at training.

    Perhaps play a game of catch Jeffrey.

    There's this kid from central Australia... Liam Jurrah, who looks a likely pick! :(

    Ahhh Liam I miss you.

    Looks like a very interesting prospect

    I have no clue if hes on the AFL radar, but I want him. Anyone know how old he is?

  • Quote

    If the NT partnership is going to be long term then you'd think NT talent will be added to our list.

  • Quote

    WOW!. Super agility, clean hands, great goal sense - and he's already familiar with one of our home grounds.

    Ditto. Let's get him.

    Played against Ross this year and the guy is a human freakshow. Tore the competition apart and is now tearing the NTFL apart aswell.

  • Quote

    I don't know what the Club is thinking re NT but I'd love to see us set up an academy, the talent up there is outrageous.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
