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 ....?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx factor 

??? who, or what?


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.

Bennell from WA

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.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
