Would be happy with either Ash or Young with pick 3.

    Has made a reasonable fist of playing on ball in the back end of the season, so not just an outside dasher, has a few strings to his bow.

    Now GCS have picks 1 and 2, this guy becomes a good option at 3

    That's not official is it?

    No. Numerous rumours saying it will be announced tomorrow

    if Ash develops the contested side of his game further and starts hurting opponents more by foot, he can feature inside the first round of this year's draft.

    Sounds like a question about his kicking.  Pass.  The last thing we need is to bring in another Grimes on HB.

    His kicking is reliable, just not Young level elite. His speed is a weapon.

    This article was written in April, so I think that was referencing an area to improve on for the season ahead.  No idea if he has or not.

    I quite like Knightmare’s espn reports as they often spend a bit of time on the player’s flaws and don’t just claim every 17yo in the next Chris Judd like most draft articles.

    This website has excellent write ups for those who are interested.

    Couple of clangers early in the game but what I like is he appears to set up a lot of the play when Vic Country make their comeback. The kicks to Kemp and Serong late in the game is exactly what we've been missing.

    DRAFT ANALYSIS: "A natural-born leader with elite kicking abilities, Ash makes the right decisions with ball-in-hand and is a damaging player coming off half-back."

    Has some nice attributes but he reminded me a bit of a short Sam Frost TBH. The other players he reminds me of is Daniel Bell for some reason

    Likes to run and carry but sometimes didn't look like it was to his or the teams advantage - also disposal was a bit hit and miss

    Small sample so I'm sure the recruiters know a hell of a lot more - personally would think he is a better option than Serong

    Selling him a bit short there, Oli.

    Shows a heap more promise than Jayden.

    Bog ordinary except for his pace.

    Cant help but think of Adam Saad.

    Agree, will be a stretch if taken in top 10.

    Looks like a one trick pony.  AFL teams would work him out in two seconds.

    Love his pace and willingness to take the game on though.

    “if Ash develops the contested side of his game further and starts hurting opponents more by foot, he can feature inside the first round of this year's draft.”

    Like Toby Greene or Dustbin Fletcher?.

    Has the pace and style we need.  Prefer Young, Kemp and Serong though. If Ash was there at 8 and all of the above were gone, Ash would be a good selection.

    Out currently having a coffee with some of the under 16's Murray Bushrangers development coaches to start planning for our up coming pre season.

    Just got told that Demon recruiting officials are up in the North East Border and Golburn Valley region to interview a couple of bushies boys.

    Lachlan Ash will most likely one of them and along side Ben Kelly and Cam Wild.

    Possibly there at our pick 8, so doesn't surprise me.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
