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.

Cal Twomey reporting we have.

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.

 

Just announced on Ch7 Taj is going to be a Dee. Thanks Taj.❤️💙

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. 🙂

Took me a minute to think about that one

  • 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?

    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?
