The club now have, unsurprisingly, made a private commitment to Taj that he will become a Melbourne player at the draft 👏

That’s great news, thanks Dannyz

Thats because they linked to The West Newspaper online site, you need to pay. Sorry I don't have membership there either.  Maybe on the AFL site?

there are browser extensions that can get around paywalls. I use Extreme Paywall Bypasser. It pays to turn it off when not needed as it can interfere with sites you have a paid subscription to.

 

To have Woeys son at the Dees would be an extra bit of cream on our Granny cake and with our FD development team the sky is the limit for all our draftees. How good would it be to have Taj running around in the Red & Blue.💕❤️💙

Several other sons of our greats of the past will be further tempted to get to the Dees under the F&S highway, as well, once they realise that Taj made it - and would fit in just fine. This is in the true 'dynastic' evolution of our now-successful football team, surely? I'd be thinking Whitey(s), the Oxen and the Farmers, amongst others in that category...

Good to see they have been able to keep it hush hush.

Depends if he wants a Brownlow or not.

Taj Woewodin has finished in third place for the East Fremantle Colts Best & Fairest (The Len Anderson Medal).

Placings were:-

1. Tom McGrath 163 votes

2. Josh Browne 160 votes

3. Taj Woewodin 149 votes

Voting was on a 5,4,3,2,1 per game basis 

Just checking and it looks like McGrath played 18 games compared to Woewodin 15 and Browne 14.

Interestingly, Twomey had Browne in his U19 team of the year but he isn't in the top 30 of the draft.

Averaged 32 touches at colts level and kicked 11 goals....

Number 22 is vacant with Vanders leaving, maybe it’s fate?

Hope so, will add another rich layer to the connection developing between the past and present players!

Maybe give him #2 so he can set his own path, but having seen him play he’s got the work rate and desire of his father, which Chunk also displayed

Anyone know the cutoff date for nominating as a father-son selection?  Definitely like to see us nominate Woey jnr. 

isn't it the other way around? he needs to nominate as a father-son, not us nominate him as one?

for example, jase burgoyne nominated for port as a father-son yesterday

its two way nominations have to be mutual

I’m interested to see if he can become a good kick on both sides of his body. It’s incredibly rare these days. I think it’s the great untapped weapon of opening the game up.

Goody trained it a fair bit when he first took over but it hasn’t really come in to our game days. Melksham the only one who has regular success on his non preferred. Brayshaw hasn’t hit a target on his left in 4 years. 

 

Does Taj and the club need to lodge the father-son papers today to make this happen?

Yes, today is the deadline.  Not sure of time.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
