Do we have to ‘nominate’ him beforehand like father son nominations?  If so, by when?

    As well as residing in a certain club's region, to be eligible the player must be born or have one parent born in Asia or Africa; be of Indigenous background residing in a remote region; or have both parents born in a non-English speaking country (not Asia or Africa).

    I’m going early with this but if nobody’s nominated him by now, he’s a Demon!

    If no one bids we can take him as a rookie. Sounds like the other clubs don’t rate him.

    12 touches a game doesn't impress me, nor does 1 goal a game. 

    But 8 tackles and 3 clearances are more impressive numbers. That's a guy who can win it in tight and be a really aggressive tackler.

    I'd want to know why he's not finding the ball in space more. Is it work rate, is it the position the team puts him in or is it a feel for the game thing that might be able to be taught.

    An ethnic group or an ethnicity is a category of people who identify with each other based on similarities such as common ancestry, language, history, society, culture or nation
    .

    people who are born into other cultures, in other countries are "ethnic" Why try to turn it into a swear word when its not?

    Going very early on this, Jack, but I reckon we'd be very happy we can pick him up later on and stock up in the midfield with earlier picks.

    Bit early going onto the "Welcome to MFC" thread title isn't it? Have we picked him yet?

    We still have 2 spots on our list left, I reckon we will see a rookie elevation and this kid.

    Either way, he’s a Demon.

     I watched a replay of the Vic Country v WA Under 18 Championship game and he was in the three best players for the Country boys, the best being Sam Walsh who went #1.

    I’m astonished that nobody put in a bid for him.

    We could also choose not to take him at all?

    Who is the last player we've had on the list that sported a rats tail??

    Looks like Toby was one of the steals at the draft. We passed on our last pick so we must still be after a delisted free agent?

    Do we need to fill another spot? Or do we now fall into the min required number?

    Also, we grabbed Wagner #2

    Wagner falls into the rookies so we have 1 rookie spot to fill and we are 1 short on the senior list.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
