Congratulations to one of the Casey Demon young guns Mykelti Lefau who has been chosen to represent his home country of New Zealand against the AFL Academy Australian Under 17s at Westpac Stadium in Wellington on Monday April 24. 

Playing for St Kilda City Under 19s in the Southern Football League late last year Lefau had a match to remember, drilling 25 of his team’s 28 goals in a big victory over Carrum Patterson Lakes.

He has already impressed with Casey and we wish him well in his first game for the Kiwis. 

 

 

He probably doesn't fit the criteria because he's now living here but what's involved in drafting an international rookie like the NZ kid we had over here a few years ago?

Good luck. Maybe one day he could play for the Demons?

If he becomes good enough to get onto the list of a premiership side, then i'd imagine that he'd be more likely drafted by 17 other clubs :)

Went to the AFLNZ draft combine test on Friday. Mykelti broke beep test record by doing 14.9 (was 14.8). Finished in top 10 in every test. My boy (aged 15) came second in beep at 14.3. Jason Taylor and other AFL scouts there. Mykelti looks v promising

Will watch Mykelti play for NZ Hawks against AFL Academy for first 30 mins tomorrow. Then I'll watch my boy play for NZ L1 academy v NSW independent schools. He got opposition coaches BOG in yesterdays game. Then thrilled to get his photo taken with Simon Black at the high performance dinner last night.  Maxy Gawn selected at ruck in the NZ heritage team.

With his growth and rapid development KC i wouldn't be surprised if Jason Taylor tries to hide him in the development league for a while.. If its true that his skills were on show in front of AFL scouts then no doubt clubs will keep a close eye.

Watching that footage and i know its only development league, but jeez for someone who is 194cm he is seriously quick and agile!


So what's the rules for international rookies and (if he's good enough) does this fella fall within that?

Edited by Moonshadow

I know the Kiwi skipper. Surprisingly nice guy for a Hawthorn fan. Will ask him about Mykelti...

@KC from Casey I have watched him several times this year and in all of those games he has showed  some real glimpses do far. Yesterday again he impressed with his speed and power. Not bad for a 195cm forward

In your opinion is he a chance for a rookie spot this year?

Don't care what grade or league he's in at present, just watch him coz this kid has the goods. Kick, mark, speed, agility, teamwork, daring and talent in spades. Give him an AFL run, NOW! Does he have a twin brother?

195 !?!?

Saw him play for the fist time yesterday and had no idea he was that tall.  That's exceptional speed and agility for such a tall player.

Pity we didn't have another rookie spot,  to use.

Yep.. the way he sprinted from behind to soccer that ball in for a goal was impressive.

He is still quite raw and needs a lot off development still.

Can we recruit/sign him up right now?

Who cares if he is raw - we can see what he brings with which to develop.

Can i 3rd that.  Looks very promising indeed.  Super raw but offers power, a decent turn of speed and side steps nicely also.  A few pre-seasons and Bob's your uncle!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
