Any news?

I would think 5pm is the latest time for nominations...

    Looking like we haven't nominated Woey's boy as a father son, which means we can't match a pick. Maybe  that means we don't think he will be in demand or maybe we want to add him to the list after national draft as a rookie.

    This is a last minute decision obviously.

    We have 4 spots available and picks 17, 37, 48, 57 and 94.

    Wonder of they'll try and bundle 48 and 57 for an earlier pick or trade a pick for a 2022 pick. Doubt Woewodin will go before pick 57, or even draw an opposition bid at all. Pick 94 should get it done.

    Whatever, the boy gets a spot on the main list.

    Good news, I love the prospect of a son playing for the team his father played for.

    II watched Woey play his first game for Melbourne, at that time there wasn't a great deal of information available on the new recruits, so I knew little about him, he was quite impressive.

    I reckon we'll try, it's just whether there are any takers. 

    Wonder if he'll also get the nickname Woey.

    Do the experts around here reckon he’s any good?

    I'm still working on whether Goodwin is a good coach.

    No romance in this for me. Billy Stretch for instance, was a third round pick.

    Only question for me is that he is the best player available at the pick they take him.

    Well Praha you are a very slow worker.

    Stop over thinking and look at the results and give credit where credit is due.

    Basically Goody  oversaw ALL that happened in 2021  All the coaches and players 24/7 and a hundred and one other issues throughout the season. 
    Evety time we were 3 goals down in a big game we responded and rarely failed.

    Pies and Giants and Dogs we came up short in the middle of the season but that all helped us learn about ourselves.

    We grew and exploded on the big stage and ended up with our biggest and one of the best GF wins to claim our 13th flag. In Goodys hands are our 14, 15 and 16 th flags potentially.

    Lets give him our unwavering faith and support to achieve that and lay a stronger base than ever before for our future and growth in this all conquering AFL competition.

    I'm not an expert but I take an interest in watching some kids when I think they are a chance to be picked up by us.

    From what I’ve seen Taj is great below his knees, picks the ball up really cleanly and can kick with both feet.
    He doesn't get huge disposal numbers (mid 20s every game) but does a lot with it, good decision maker and he has gotten better as the year went on.

    Mainly played inside and outside midfield but he also has a bit of flexibility, his talents could developed to be used in a halfback role like Salem/Bowey or half forward role like Spargo/Neal Bullen role but I'm not sure on his tank.
    In the draft combine he was 2nd best in the 20m sprint with a blistering time of 2.89 seconds.
    He was captain of East Freo this year which is always a good sign in regards to a players character.

    I read an article yesterday on SEN saying he models his game on Steele Sidebottom and Mitch Duncan.
    From all reports he is driven and professional, so I think given the opportunity at the Demons he will flourish around players with similar hard work ethic like Brayshaw, Petracca etc 

    We will probably use pick 49 on him.

    I may be wrong but I think @praha was JK. 🙂

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
