Connor Idun has done key defensive jobs in the TAC cup for the Falcons and Vic Country over the last 2 years.  He also swung forward at times with some success.  He was selected at full back in the TAC team of the year.

He has a combine invite and will likely be taken later in the draft I would guess.

Connors playing height at the start if the year was 189 but he is more than that now.  He has a very strong build and could play senior footy straight away.

He is an excellent judge of the ball in flight and has excellent hands.  Has great agility and sideways movement and is a neat kick.  He also has great game sense and is a natural leader having captained the Falcons when Sam Walsh was absent.

Further to that he is a really humble, smart and respectful kid who will work hard and contribute to the culture of a football club.

I would not be at all surprised if Connor forged himself a very good to excellent career.  He would be ideally suited to the third tall defensive position. 

His only knocks would be his pace in a straight line, and possibly a lack of height to play a true kpd spot but he might have grown a little more since I last saw him.

Disclaimer: I know Connor well and have coached him at local level.  I have watched him rise as a junior playing with my boys.  Having said that I am pretty objective, I think the kid has a lot of attributes, both physical and mental that will give him a big chance of being a good senior AFL footballer.

    Like it.

    Can you suggest another one or two for this year, Stretch?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
