    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
