There is actually a curtain raiser for today’s game starting at 11:05am,  u18 academy Vs Kangaroos VFL.  There is almost on no info on this game on the internet so they are keeping it low key but a good chance to see the top 30 players run around the G against AFL listed players. Looking forward to seeing some of the highly touted SA boys.

    Tom Medhat from West Perth is one who's going to move up the draft boards. Played most of his juniors as key position with stints on the ball. Now in his draft year being used on the ball really good kid who at 191cm showing endurance and ability to find and use the ball well is going to start attracting attention.

    Adrian Hickmotts boys (Liam & Will) and Michael Priors boy (Jaxon) also showing plenty from Perths northern suburbs.

    Yes, they do seem to be keeping a low profile. Fox Footy was advertising a live showing earlier in the week but I don’t think it eventuated.

    Are there any reports anywhere (not that they’re going to mean much to MFC fans at this point in time, given that our first choice in this year’s draft is likely to be close to 40 (in the absence of a brilliant trade).

    Callum Twomey has tweeted the result of the game and some stats.

    NAB AFL Academy 17.12.114 to North Melbourne VFL 10.11.71. 

    That’s a comprehensive victory although it has to be added that North (who had a bye at the weekend) hasn’t previously fielded a stand alone team in the current incarnation of the VFL.

    Stats - Walsh (22 disp, 1 goal), West (16, 9 tackles), Jones (15 disp).

    Just quietly because I don’t want to put this young man under any pressure but congratulations to Tiernan Stynes (son of Jim) on making the South Metro Junior Football League Under 13 Boys Interleague squad.

    And the Demons continue to be mentioned as a strong chance to secure another famous son from two different sports, basketball and tennis  - Austin Bradke as a Category B prospect.

    Uncle Bitter and I sat behind the Stynes family at the G a couple of weeks ago. Lovely family. Tiernan is tall and skinny like a lot of kids his age. Looks athletic, big mitts on him. I think Brian Stynes' kids might have been there as well, but not sure about that. All very vocal Demon supporters, almost put BBO to shame

    4 quality mids likely to be available to the Dees if we maintain a pick around 26/27.  

    Mitch Riordan STINGRAYS  quality skilled midfielder. Though likely top 15-17

    Xavier O’Halloran JETS great inside leader type mid. Again could go around 20. 

    Xavier Duursma POWER I hope the Dees get this kid. Son of Jamie. Knows where the footy is and gets it. Probably will be there around 25. 

    Smokie remain young Hudson Garoni from the Bushrangers.  Goalkicking key forward

    Isaac Conway was very impressive as a midfielder against Casey today. Classy and mature body. At 23, maybe he’ll get a look in on a rookie list. Has the talent IMO.

    Sorry the 4th quality mid was South Australian Luke Valente. Solid build. Good pace. 183cm. Skilled on both wings. Tackles well.  Captain for SA under 18s in 2018. Whilst not as flashy as a few teammates, Valente is the real deal. At pick 25-28, he would be an absolute steal.

    Isaac Conway's sister starred for the Brisbane Lions women this season. He comes from the same junior club as the Wagner brothers.

    He was well known as a high quality character at Sandgate going through losing his mother mid-season in his U17s.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
