Ron or Johnny.

I'm pretty happy we're taking advantage of the Cat B option. If athletes from overseas, like Cox and the Irish, can make it, then someone who's grown up playing footy can make it. No idea who this kid is, though.

Info from a contact in recruiting...

Trialled at Brisbane, Adelaide, Essendon and St. Kilda before choosing Melbourne.

184cm.  Likely position - half back.

Lives with and best mates with Joel Smith.

should have read this before I wasted my time with the Burgan interview. Did not even say his height or what type of footy player he was.

I'm surprised he's that short, if he was playing key position in juniors and is a fast bowler.

Only 184cm - no wonder he didn’t make it as a fast bowler. Interested to see his kicking and speed.

Most fast bowlers are not that tall, 184 is a good height for a bowler

Lee is 187cm. You posted the height of Brett Lee the American college football player. All good it’s the first hit I got from google as well.

Showing your age. The new generation of fast bowlers (Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins) all 190+. There aren’t too many kicking around Aus under 190 now. Australia’s loss our gain. 

Just thought we were getting a 196cm key defender - I’m happy to settle for a highly skilled half back ?

Yeah, Steyn is from the stone age. I picked a selection from various era's. You said 184 was to short to be much of a fast bowler. Do you reckon any of those mentioned wouldn't be as effective now?

If he turns out no good, he should change his name to Mike so he can have a fresh start in TV and media.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
