    Hayden Young

    Matthew Rowell

    all standouts and could easily be pick 1. 

    Similar to Hodge, Ball, Judd year because you can easily choose either and be confident in your choice.

    Well we currently hold pick 3 in the draft and by the looks of it we cannot trade it this year which is about bloody time in my opinion. With the likes of Lewis and Jones careers close to finishing up i feel we are in need of some fresh exciting talent to come through and take this club forward.

    With the under 18s championships coming up, AFL.com have  done a list of players to look out for.

    Few interesting ones. Kemp sounds like the new prototype 193cm midfielder. So he'll be right up there in all discussions.

    I'd also be interested to see some of Flanders, Taheny, Serong and Williams. I'd love to see us use our first pick on a talented forward rather than just another midfielder. With some pace would be a bonus.

    Kemp inability to win big number of the ball as a midfielder worries me though.

    I also interested and will be keeping a close eye on those names you mentioned already.

    Gee, Noah Anderson would be nice.

    Do we have any decent academy prospects coming up?

    No

    Noah Anderson is the perfect fit for us. A complete mid with flair, pace, versatility and ability to hit the scoreboard regularly.

    Sam Flanders = Fish Creek represent!!!

    A shame Matt McGannon didn't come back to play for Fishy this year, instead heading on up to Redland in the NEAFL (we could do with his run off the HBF that's for sure - err that's FCFNC not MFC).

    Rowell is probably the consensus #1 pick atm (god i hope we don't have it come the end of round 22). Agree that Anderson sounds very intriguing and at 86kgs he's just about ready to go.

    1- Rowell 

    2- Anderson 

    lock it in

    I still see the Demons getting 9 wins and 13 losses.  That’s 12th to 13 position. About pick 6 or 7. 

    I reckon Dylan Williams would be a great young kid to get into our team. Hayden Young, Brodie Kemp, Sam Flanders are others likely to come under the JT Eye.

    Someone that can kick with a bit of pace would be nice.

    Come on every player we draft is an elite kick with good pace.

    I just had a read about 20 anticipated AFL young guns ?   He's one who sounds good to me.

    Also that young ruck (Nick Bryan) , and another running midfielder (Dylan Stephens) who also sounded interesting. 

    Nick Bryan,  Dylan Stephens, Caleb Serong, Lachie Ash,

    Hayden Young

    11/4/01
    188cm/82kg
    Vic Country/Dandenong Stingrays
    Defender 

    Young looked every bit the early pick at the MCG against the Casey Scorpions VFL side when he gathered 17 disposals and six marks in a polished performance. He has at times played in the midfield this year but looks most comfortable and is more damaging across half-back, where his vision, poise and precise kicking stands out. Young, whose brother Lachie made his debut recently with the Western Bulldogs, is a good size and considered a leader within his group.

     

    Lachie Ash

    21/6/01
    186cm/80kg
    Vic Country/Murray Bushrangers
    Defender

    Ash brings real speed to the draft crop. He's a line-breaker off half-back who is given the licence to thrill: he enjoys whipping the ball under his arm and taking the game forward. Ash doesn't run aimlessly – he's composed with the ball but adds plenty of excitement. Ash has played at senior level before – he won a country premiership with Shepparton last year – and finished second in the Murray Bushrangers' best and fairest last season.

     

    Dylan Stephens

    8/1/01
    183cm/70kg
    South Australia/Norwood
    Midfielder

    A strong engine, combined with a turn of pace and a classy left foot make Stephens one of the more desirable midfielders available. Stephens, who grew up in country Victoria before moving to South Australia for school, has played for Norwood at senior level this season but will take on more responsibility for SA's under-18 season. Models his game on Greater Western Sydney star Josh Kelly. 

     

    Dylan Williams

    1/7/01
    185cm/79kg
    Vic Metro/Oakleigh Chargers
    Forward

    Williams showed his talent last year for the Chargers when he booted 14 goals in their finals series. When in attack Williams is a threat in the air, where his marking is a real strength, and also on the ground, given his savviness near goal and sharp left foot. He has also been used across half-back, where his reading of the play comes to the fore, and at times in bursts through the midfield. If Williams is having a quiet day he will often find a way to impact a game, and he has genuine X-factor and ability. 

     

    Caleb Serong

    9/2/01
    179cm/82kg
    Vic Country/Gippsland Power
    Forward/midfielder

    Serong is a powerful small forward/midfielder who can influence a game in a number of ways. The talented cricketer is sharp at ground level and neat by foot, and is able to set up teammates with deft passes and clever ball use. He's crafty around goal, and when he's in the midfield has a burst of speed. Serong, who will co-captain Vic Country at the carnival, averaged 22 disposals and six tackles in his first two games of the NAB League season with Gippsland.

     

    Nick Bryan

    22/10/01
    202cm/87kg
    Vic Metro/Oakleigh Chargers
    Ruckman

    Has come from the clouds to be the best ruckman in the draft class by some way. Bryan's form early this season – he averaged 25 hit-outs a game in the first three rounds for the Chargers – saw him win selection in the Australian under-18s team to face VFL side Casey Scorpions in April. Although lightly framed, Bryan's strengths lie in being an extra midfielder around the ground. He has good skills and game sense, and can also provide a marking option. 

     

    Thomson Dow

    16/10/01
    182cm/71kg
    Vic Country/Bendigo Pioneers
    Midfielder

    The younger brother of Carlton's Paddy has taken the eye of recruiters this year. He is different to Paddy, playing a little bit taller and occasionally drifting forward to offer a target. Dow is lean but agile and with a burst, and started the season in strong form for the Pioneers, including a 28-disposal and two-goal effort against the Geelong Falcons in round one.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
