When will the annual "nicknames for the new draftees" thread be up and running?  Hope mods will have their censor fingers ready, especially when the likes of uncle @Bitter but optimistic gets amongst it.

The moderators often misunderstand my offerings Chazz and I have been sent to rehab unfairly - I think I'll avoid that topic.

However, I must admit I have no knowledge of young Hore. Is he perchance an in and under type?

    I trust Taylor absolutely on this. Seems like a likely lad.

    That said, I'm interested to know why Collingwood has seemingly overlooked him (2 successive VFL B&Fs) given that their defensive stocks are not as good as ours.

     

    Exactly, am confused too, it's not like this guy has been hiding under a rock. Maybe suspect disposal under pressure? @ProDee what say you? Anyway in JT and JV I trust.

    Scharenberg, Langdon and Howe are a pretty good mid sized marking trio. It might’ve been they were preferred to Hore. 

    Pies might also have been keen this year but waiting for a later pick or rookie pick. 

    I wonder what his plans were if not drafted by this year. Continuing on with the Pies VFL for another year would’ve been a strong show of loyalty

    Spoke to aCollingwood supporting mate. He said Hore was a likely rookie target for the Pies and that he would likely have been drafted to them had they lost Langdon to Sydney. He also said there would be disappointed Pie’s supporters over this one tonight and that we got ourselves a good third tall defender.

    Player bio
    Former club: Collingwood VFL
    Age: 22
    Height: 190cm
    Weight: 82kg
    Position: Defender
    2018 U18 Stats
    Games: -
    Goals: -
    Avg Kicks: -
    Avg Marks: -
    Avg Hballs: -

    The defensive playmaker had a standout season in the VFL with Collingwood and was rewarded with the club's best and fairest award. The 22-year-old, who possesses a booming left foot and aerial prowess, was also selected in the past two VFL teams of the year. Standing at 189cm and 89kg, Hore has caught recruiters' eyes with his ability to run and carry and read the play.

     

    Although Hore seems to have shrunk a cm in the course of the article, it is encouraging that he has also managed to add 7 kg on his frame. If he keeps adjusting his body at this rate, he will be ginormous by Round 1!

    I had never heard of him before drafting him, but looking at his size, assets and body-readiness, I really like his addition to our squad. I can see him getting a game sooner than expected.

    Always a good thing to disappoint supporters of the filth.  Would almost be enough reason to draft him for that purpose alone.

    Can't help mate.  Other than when Casey is on TV, I haven't watched VFL footy for a while.

    Looks good from the footage though.  They wouldn't bring him in if they didn't think his upside was regular AFL footy.

    Makes me wonder why we re contracted Josh Wagner if we’ve been tracking this guy closely for 3 years. 

    Blind Freddie can see this blokes a better player than Josh Wagner.

    If we are recruiting mature aged players they need to be ready made. This guy is way off the pace and too slow.

    I thought he got better as the game went on. Needs to get used to the pace of AFL. I think there's something we can work on.

    Having said that, I look forward to seeing May and Lever together in our backline. Hore then becomes depth.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
