Keep an eye out for this name. Midfielder from South Croydon who has a few interviews with Jason Taylor and his team. 

I've never seen him play personally, but I know that he's in our sights.

Played with Matt Jones and Max King the past 2 years there.

    The first few google links refer to hip dysplasia and stress fractures in his foot. Sounds promising.

    Frank? Is he 85 years old?

    There's a Frank Davis in the '64 team at half back. We're recruiting MFC Premiership experience. Sorry Jordy! In all seriousness, that's as good an omen as any? Recruit Frank!

    Going by this story, he played Casey Development League in 2016.

    And on the other half back flank in the GF team, there's Tony Anderson.

    Offspring?

    How do you know that he has interviewed?

    I have seen a lot of Frank play, quite a smooth mover with an excellent attitude.

    Sounds like they may have had a word to the recruiting team?

    Attended state combine. Yes a few recruiters eyes are already upon him.

    I think he’ll be a late draftee or rookie chance. Depends on how clubs assess his physical position after some stress related worries late in 2018.

    Strong running midfielder.  Captain of Vic metro leagues rep team. At 20 years old!!! 

    Went to school with Sam Weideman at Whitefriars.  Sam will know that he has ability.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
