Mid-Season Rookie Draft: Check out the full list of nominees

 

https://www.afc.com.au/news/2019-05-04/midseason-draft-nominees

I don't know one player from another (with a few exceptions, such as Jake Spencer) but note there's a born defender in the list by the name of Philip Backman and a player from WA called Ajang Ajang which, unfortunately for him, is also the name of a known terrorist group in the Philippines. 

Good luck to them all.

    Tyler Roos is also on that list

    I don't know them either,  'LDvC'.

    I haven't followed any under 18's,  in recent years.  So I posted this site,  in the hope some here might be familiar with some of those Kids.  And hopefully get-back some insights on them.

    Actually I don't even know they're ages ?

    Angus Hanrahan (Sandringham) represents good value for a young small mid sized forward.  Also good pace for future midfield wingman.  Think a young Melksham.

    My money is on a slow inside mid with average footskills to complement the plethora we have already.

    What about this Lowson guy lightning quick Coburg VFL forward, leading the goal kicking. Richmond, Carltank and Norf in the hunt. Sounds like something we need ....?

    Theres gotta be another Allen Jakovich type out there in the country somewhere.  We plucked him out of the SANFL at age 22.

    Come on Jason Taylor, bring us an X factor showstopper who puts bums on seats.

    Perhaps we could pick up Jaxon Briggs from Casey. Could be a surprise packet.

    Corey Gregson mentioned.  Small mid forward. Charlie Spargo mark 2.  Injury prone history. 

    Ummmmmm ... no

    Ahh clearly you need to get behind our recruiting strategy.

    Gregson would be a perfect fit on our long term injury list with 4 x surgeries on a troubled left foot.

    Lets sign him up.

    Best bet is still Corey Gault for the Dees.  Goalkicker. Physically AFL ready to go.  198 cms. Forward/ruck role.  

    You're kidding yourself, he's to slow to play AFL no tricks and would be well behind Pruess and Keilty.

    We need 

    Small/Med Forward 

    Outside mid

    HBF with run and decent disposal

    Wants v Needs 

    I want us to be absolutely dominant,  in-between the Arcs. 

    We can have average keys from there,  because the dominant Mid players will hit them lace up anyway.

    We've got a little way to go still,  as we do-not have  the best midfield, atmo.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
