Seems to be a forgotten man but had a real purple patch last year.

Really looked good and very composed in defence.

Anyone know what's gone wrong?

How was his NEAFL form?

Was he injured?

22yo promising key defender,  is he worth looking at?

Could be a case of looking good in a great team, but I was definitely impressed with him last season. Is he composed enough with the ball?

Unaccountable and probably not enough intensity. Let's pass on this option.

I like his games at Sydney. Reads the ball well. Definitley worth looking at for the right price. 

I would trade Pick 45 for him especially if we lose Frost.

There's a heap of Sudanese kids running around in the juniors in WA - assume other states would be seeing quite a few as well.

Majak, Allir, Chol are great athletes but still NQR. I think it's only a matter of time before one comes into the game a sets it alight.

I'd be interested in Allir, he's had some finals experience and knows how the games played.

What are we going to use him for --a race against Frosty. SImilar type of players although I was really impressed with him until he lost his way a bit in 2017.

He got passed by Melican. That is who we should be chasing.

No.

He did show some promise but ultimately I can't see him developing much further (certainly not to a Rance, Hurley, McGovern, Talia level).

Also, if we acquire Lever we have no need for him.

I'd rather see the club focus on generating additional midfield or small forward depth.

 NEAFL form has been very good but Melican took his spot.

Can't see a 22 year old key position player improving.  I guess you are past it by that stage

the  lad does intrigue me.

He has some wonderful tricks in his bag.  For whatever reason hes a NQR at Swannieland.  

Attributes...can take a mark...and i MEAN    TAKE a mark..  he can kick both sides.  Hes actually got a bit of nous. But is he really AFL ?? 

Hes a big boy...solid

 

But then theres any number like him in a fashion.....

does intrigue me lol

What happened to him?

Played unbelievable football at the tail end of last year, gets a mention from Malcolm Turnbull at the UN, then gets injured and is never heard of again...

I reckon if we miss out on lever, he would be one we should chase. He's been in the system long enough that he has a mature body to play first team football. He has shown he can play as a key defender much better than OMac so this would be a boost for our backline. 

If we could have AA, Frost and maybe TMac, that wouldn't be a bad start. Frost and AA would play as key defenders and TMac would use his intercept marking abilities to play third man. 

If we managed to get Lever than I'd have Tmac and Frost playing key defenders with Lever playing third man up. His disposal is much better and would be way more effective coming out than TMac.

I think he's a real project player. He's already an upgrade on garland and frost and possibly even pushing oscar. Had a lot of room to improve

Turnover merchant. 

Dont need or want anymore of his type.

Would be a good replacement for Frost if he goes. Can play on small or tall, is generally composed and kicks within his limitations, and also provides really good run and carry.

It's a yes from me.

We should  take both of them.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
