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.

Charlie Spargo says hello!

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
