Andrew Brayshaw testing very very well. His second half of the year was superb.  Top 10-12 pick. If only we could welcome him but I fear highly highly unlikely.

    Paul Connors on Trade Radio said this morning that Aiden Bonar was earmarked as an MFC Multicultural Academy player.  He has come in from pick #100 to around pick #20 and 'mfc wouldn't be too happy about that'.

    The sooner they change the Multicultural Academy draft bidding system to be the same as F/S and the Northern Academies, ie being able to match bids, the better.

    The AFL Draft Combine 2017 kicked off today. Some (but not all) of the best talent will be on display  over the coming week.

    A few of the names in this article will be wearing the red and the blue in 2018 ~

    Inside the 2017 AFL Draft combine

    Who will impress at the AFL Draft Combine?

    Have you seen much of Sebastian Williams WJ? Do you think he will get drafted ? Would love to have Don Williams grandson at the club.

    I haven't seen as much of him in action as I would have liked Neita but I did see a bit of him from time to time at Dragons training during the season (which is next door to where my grandsons' junior team trains). 

    Williams has been described as "a nice little player" which in terms of draftability is not necessarily a great recommendation. You have to really have some special talents to come into contention high up in the draft if you're 177cm. In Seb's case, he's got a few things going for him but if push comes to shove, I think most clubs would prefer players a bit taller with the same capabilities as on-ballers and there are a lot around in that category. It would be a romantic tale if he was drafted by the club but I think it would only be as a rookie.

    It certainly would, thanks very much for the reply WJ.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
