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

    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.

    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!

    surely we're looking into this McGrath bloke?

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
