Named second best. He has had a really consistent finals series by the looks of it. Hopefully it is enough runs on the board to be drafted (seems a given), but not enough exposure to get into the top 30 (so he is cheaper to bid on).

    #8 Taj Woewodin

    Perhaps riding the high of Melbourne’s AFL Grand Final victory the day before, Demons fan and father-son candidate Woewodin made a terrific start to the game. He was part of the Sharks’ starting midfield mix and got his hands on the ball, shifting onto his right side to release long kicks forward. He also rotated into attack, missing a set shot in term one but sinking another from 40m in term two. He ended up with 22 disposals, seven marks and a goal in a clean display to round out the Sharks’ season.

    It sounds like Taj has progressed well.

    At first he was going to be a late pick punt but it looks like we are picking up a good kid who has a good chance of developing into a good player.

    Anyone know if he has nominated us as F/S and where he is likely to be called in the draft?

    List spots are actually now very tight given we have again contracted guys like Mitch Brown and Chandler who I thought might have finished up at the Dees (expected Brown to be delisted and Chandler to seek opportunities elsewhere). 
     

    I think Dees should definitely declare him as a Father Son pick. He’s likely to only require a very late pick or a rookie.

    It's potentially looking highly unlikely that he may not get a spot on our list.

    I'll wait to trade period ends before we can fully get a clear understanding what our list looks like in terms of space.

    Right now some of the recent re-signings have left me scratching my head.

    I still think we'll take Taj and Moniz-Wakefield. Will just depend if they end up on the Senior list or as Category A or B rookies.

    I expect us to use our first 3 picks in the National Draft and leave one spot on the rookie list. Then as a bonus, if Moniz-Wakefield were to go un-drafted then we could take him as a Category B rookie, giving us an extra player on the list.

    I think (only my view) we shafted his Dad twenty years ago due to $$$s. I’d like to see us rectify that and give Taj a spot on the list. He has the talent and it appears his year shows his dedication to do what’s required for AFL footy.

    If we do want to get Taj, and we delist both Hore and Declase so we can take 4 in the national draft (so many ifs at the moment!) would pick 57 get us Taj do you think spirit?

    It’ll be interesting to see how many picks we use, I guess the club will need to decide whether 49 or 57 or Taj will be of more value than Hore and/or Declase, based on their current lack of signings it looks like maybe they do? 
     

    Or are we up to something with Hawthorn? There were Gunston rumours mid-year right?

    I think we will draft in two quality youngsters in 1st and 2nd round and then choose Taj (Woey jnr) as father son pick late in the draft.  
     

    With our pick 49 currently, I’d like to see swapped out to a future 3rd 2022 pick perhaps with the Hawks or Eagles who are wanting to bring in players in this yearsvdraft.

    Taj named as a follower for the WA vs SA under 19s tomorrow. Obviously should be taken with a pinch of salt because coaches love flipping the starting magnets around, but pretty sure he’s been consistently named in a wing position/interchange prior to this game.  

    Is this the last game to look at him before the draft?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
