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

Sudanese, Italian, Lebanese whatever. I did mean Victorian teams.

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). 


 

are there any highlights of this kid anywhere on the world wide web? Cn't find anything on him. Frustrating!

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.

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?

Speedy small forward who was outstanding for Vic Country against Western Australia in the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships. An indigenous player who is eligible to go to Melbourne under the Next Generation Academy rules.


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.

    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

    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.

    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.
