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.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
