So who is this Woods guy? Any info on him?

No idea.

Very poor journalism from the AFL to not include his junior club of origin at least. Just looks like some joe blow from the streets.

    No, he's only 11. Long way to go yet, he's only just had his first taste of the Freo NGA this year, a 4 session clinic run over 4 weeks by Tendai Mzungu. There were a heap of kids there including those with a parent born in the UK, not sure how multicultural it is really.

    My son is going to have to develop into one of these gun small forwards we're crying out for on Demonland, because I'm 177 cm and his mum is about 150 cm!

    What club does your boy play for Leucopogon?

    How long do you need to live in the zone for an NGA spot? Can you move just before draft time?

    I'm not aware of any regulations around that. I think it's a case of you go to the AFL NGA zone that your junior footy club is aligned to. I don't think there are any rules around having to play for your local club. It seems that there could be plenty of wiggle room for AFL clubs to game the system. Would be happy to be told this is not the case however, this is the AFL we're talking about.

    Agreed.  A name like Anzac really takes the biscuit.

    If his surname was ‘Day’ then you’d expect him to get a game on 25 April?

    Those concerned about the lack of numbers on our NGA list should be aware that the list reflects players eligible this year and the fact that there are a number eligible doesn’t mean much if those players lack the talent to get drafted. There would be a number on those lists who struggle to get games with their Under 18 NAB Cup teams.

     I believe there will be a couple of prospects available to us in next year’s crop.

    Valid points. We’re still not pouring enough resources into this though.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
