I think we will definitely select him in the draft. Just seems to be the type of player we would love, hard working and driven.

He will also have plenty of time to develop in the VFL and learn off some fantastic players.

I reckon he will be bid on in the 40-60 range and we will then match.

Agreed.  I think we will pick him up after our initial two picks. 
 

He is the type of youngster Goody would love in the program. Definitely get him into the Choco development group and we have time to get him ready.

Thanks Darkhorse72. The link works but I can't open the link to get all of the other stories. If possible, could you provide an open link to all of the combine results please.

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?

Thanks, fastest over 20 meters at the WA testing. I read he clocked 2.89 and 2.9 seconds.  Yet the draft pundits describe him as not quick? Probably because he plays mainly inside contested. Its a string to his bow the Development team can fine tune.

We certainly need another ruck.

The article on Woewodin also refers to Josh Cripps and says he “would love to play in the AFL alongside his brother, Carlton captain Patrick”.

 

Apparently Shifter Sheehan said on SEN that there would definitely be a bid for Woewodin. Compared him with Mitch Duncan - “a one touch player”.

Ideally after our pick 37....

I still think there's a chance we do some dealing to get that pick into the 20's to make sure.

We only have 4 spots left. If they want to leave one open for Feb, that makes three and suddenly if Woewodin is who they want then just take him.

I think we wait for a bid and then go, unless we are at our last selection when we just grab him then.  Best use of picks and points.  If someone grabs him too early to nail us, we just let him go.  Have to think in terms of where we see him going on OUR list, and anything later than that is a win for us.  Think we have a clear idea where/when that would be, and a clear target for 17.

I guess the recent positive press is good news that we might get a decent player and bad news that we might need to use a higher pick/points on him. I wonder if his ranking is now in the 40-60 range.


I am pretty confident that the Demons will take Taj Woewodin as a Father-Son selection in the 2021 AFL National Draft.

It is certainly uncanny how much he looks like his Father Shane.

From the WA Draft Combine it looks like Taj has a bit of toe on him and is definitely faster than his old man.

I don't know how old you are, but by Christ his old man made the most of his talent. One of the best brilliant/average players I have seen, certainly in Dees colors.

If his boy is cut from the same cloth, we have a solid player in our sights.


In today's 'Road to the Draft', Cal Twomey suggests we will take him and he will go in the back end of the draft.

I remember Watts recording one of the fastest sprint times for someone of his height - never really saw it on game day.  He rarely looked slow but didn't see the explosiveness that you'd notice in some key position players - eg like Frost.

I always find it interesting when these results come through - if you are interested in a player... if they get great results does this make you like them more or less.

If they have poor results maybe it means there's scope for improvement - or does it mean they are unlikely to cut it at a higher level?

These type of results rarely tell much of a story, given they are in isolation. How often would a player get to sprint 20 meters without being impeded, or run 2kms without having to change direction or even with the agility have to come to a complete stop.

It's good to know he has these attributes, but he has to be able to use them. I'm sure Trac's not in the quickest in the club for the 20 meter sprints but he gets out of a pack nearly quicker than anyone just due to his power, and the same as Frost, he was lightning quick - unless he had to think, then he was one of the slowest players off the mark.

That take-off speed is impressive and it must be realised that it is well short of a fuller, more distance-oriented full sprint than just a short 20 metre start. The full sprint takes (even the best athletes) at least 30 metres to be in the speed zone, accelerating further to 50 - 70m and then the finishing 30m to be sustained on top of that. He ain't running 100m from the midfield around an Olympic park to be in the play, so what he is achieving is well on the 'elite' level in respective requirements for the clearance in Aussie Rules footy, once possession or 'teaming' to receive has been ticked off. These talents are displayed (game in, game out) by our two 'invincables' who just fortified our winning of the Flag: Clarrie and Trac. Seems as though he is going to fit in nicely?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
