I will be keeping a close eye on Kielty, Petty, Spargo, Maynard, Chandler and Jordan.

The biggest attraction of this game will be finding Goodwin in the crowd and giving him a spray up close.

Can you keep a close eye on Oskar Baker too please - more likely to crack a game before any of the last 3 you mention IMO

 

thx

Kielty-might make it

Petty-too skinny and too raw

Spargo-no pace and can't find the goals

Maynard-vanilla with no pace

Chandler-likely prospect

Jordan-dud

You noticed it too, WWSW? I really like the line of attack and that backline is the best selection of the year. 

i wouldn't write Jordan off he is the youngest on the List...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Petty I think can make it in time - but probably needs exactly that - time. It's a bit weird though that some people are happy to let Weideman learn to be a footballer taking space up in the ones but not Petty who in my mind would most likely contribute just as much

Bit harsh on Spargo - he does need to build an engine and play midfield rather than undersized small forward  

Chandler I have not seen so can't comment

Concur on the others

For a pick in the 30s he is very underwhelming so far

Can the mods get rid of these school kids like Elegt who continue to berate and spew negative [censored] on every single thread about the same [censored] topic. It is tiresome reading through every thread and seeing that [censored] constant negative drivel.

Go for it, but make sure your standing right next to him when you do so he can see the fear in your eyes as you mumble away

There's a thing called freedom of speech. I expressed my opinion on lack of depth, if you don't like it scroll past 

Jordan was impressive in JLT... of all the newbies he struck me as a good long term prospect... Saying that Petty is skinny shows your lack of knowledge!

He's next on my ignore list.  Happy for people to have differing views when they take a few minutes to present it in a constructive manner.  This bloke just badgers you like a five year old.  Not worth your time.

So Master* Elegt 

You have seen a lot of Jordan up close over a long period to come to this opinion I presume 

* presuming you are male but perhaps you are from Tasmania so haven’t yet had an opportunity to decide

Watched tac cup gf, JLT 1 and vfl game vs AIS and he was underwhelming in all 3. Seems to lack the defensive nous I'd expect from a second round pick. I hope I'm proven wrong and it may be a premature decsion to write him off after three games but he just does not seem like the type of player we needed in last year's draft.

So he is a dud ( offensive term at the worst of times) but for a bottom aged first year player I just cannot respect anyone using such terminology 

PS I too hope you are very wrong 

 

@KC from Casey where is Mykelti Lefau at? I thought with our lack of tall forward options he would be a regular this year. Is he a chance to get a look by AFL clubs this year?

Petty. Jordan. Sparrow are the ones to watch.  They should become good players. 

Chandler is a boy but cheeky smart fwd pocket. Unlikely to make it but fun to watch. 

Bedford is the wildcard. Could be the answer as the elusive magical forward pocket type  I like his pace.

Maynard should be given a go.  I like him above ANB. We need to see if he’s up to the AFL tempo.  If not, then he must be delisted  

Spargo should be traded. He has nothing special.  At 173 cms, he needs much more pace and strength over the footy.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • 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?
