Well done lad.

Might be a reflection of the sheer amount of list turnover we're experiencing this season, but still, congratulations to the kid. Hopefully he can get even better from here on in.

    Well done!  He fully earned it with his second half of the year.

    Has the ability. We need to keep some mature bodied depth players. He is not best 22 but best 30 so likely will get game time in 2019 and must take chances  

    Next step is to move from very good VFL player to week after week AFL standard. Big preseason. Bring it on Jkh

    good on him for sticking with it. not my fave by a long shot, but i admire his tenacity and how he's managed to add to his game with forward pressure and improved foot skills.

    Glad he’s staying but his second half of the vfl grand final was really not encouraging 

    Here’s hoping he continues to improve

    JkH well done and deserving a one year contract  after you battled hard to break into the line up  only to be unlucky not to hold your spot. However you are still young, talented and have a chance to take the next step to become a very good consistent player. I believe that you will be our most improved player in 2019.  You have the capabilities.

    With the delistings, retirements and rumors swirling about vanders, Hogan and Kent it makes food sense to lock him up. He could be in the mix for round 1 given the potential list turnover.

    I'm hoping he has a massive 2019

    He looked gone for all money early in the year but really turned it around.

    All credit to him...

    Certainly getting most out of himself and won’t retire wondering what could have been.

    I wonder if he might be trialled down back next year?  Doesn’t have the speed or smarts to be an AFL small forward, struggles with the pace and skills in the midfield... could he be trialled as a small defender in the mould of Neville Jetta..?

    One year contact to see how he goes. FD still unsure so prudent thinking.

    Didn’t rate him, dropped the ball way too often, was a deer in headlights, this year tho, he seemed to be a bit more settled, seemed t9 concentrate on tackling and the defensive side of things.

    A one year deal seems the right amount.

    Well earned indeed 

    He worked hard on those defensive aspects as well as his tank,  but was also reliable user of the ball albeit not often in damaging positions

    I hope he continues to improve and gets to play ~10 games next year

    One year contract yells "cant let everyone go in one season"...need someone to play in the VFL and provide options ( some depth )

    If he has anything more to show...nows the time.

    He must be well regarded to have avoided the scythe cutting a swathe.

    Will have to really improve his composure with ball in hand if he's not going to be delisted at the end of 2019.

    With Tyson, Kent and AVB going, Vince retiring and Lewis and Jones probably in their last year, this is a very strategic decision. Perhaps he elevates from fringe to bottom 5 or 6 in 2019?

    I was pleasantly surprised with his form in those last few games he played. That might be at least in part because my expectations for him were rock-bottom, but still, I think this is a good call.

    He really surprised me this year.  He showed some real energy and grunt, and fully earned this 1 year contract. He might really surprise in 2019.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
