KPFs?
Emerson Jeka.  He’d be a punt.  
Hugo Munn 18 yr old from the Norwood SANFL reserves. He’d be a bigger punt. 
Never say never.

    A steal at 97? An absolute punt !!  

    I think Charlie Sprague (Falcons under 18s might be available)   Saw his 2018 highlights and thought unlucky not to be drafted.  Agile, great mark. Goalkicker   Played for Barwon Heads senior team and as a overager in Falcons team.  From the Falcons footy factory, he has the makings of a AFL player. 

    Lachlan Potter (nth knights under 18s) - pacy running mid. Absolutely a classic wingman. Vic metro rep. Got injured 2/3rds through the year. You can never bypass kids with footy smarts and lightning pace. Likely to be drafted imo at 50-60+ but could slip.   Would be one not to ignore  

    Perhaps a mature age type 

    Sam Lowson (Coburg)- 22 -small forward.  
    Will Fordham (Frankston) -23 - tall running ruck Rover Hayden Schloithe (Sth Fremantle) -26 - solid running mid Jordan Lockyer (Subiaco)26 - 193cm full back - ex Sydney Swans listed / best defender in WAFL  

    I’d definitely grab Schloithe.  Ready to go. Past 4 years has been one of the best mids in WAFL. Will be a guaranteed player to cover any midfield role.  Would succeed and cannot underestimate him given success of Pickett, Menegola and Kelly. 
     

    What about Lefau from Casey??? Dazzle??

    I believe that Mykelti Lefau could be picked as a Category B rookie as he is originally from New Zealand. However, he’s been around for a couple of years and the club hasn’t opted to do so and therefore, it’s not a likely option. 

    In any case, he wouldn’t therefore be in contention to be drafted like the others.

    I do find it interesting that with the bidding system a relatively useless low draft pick can actually become semi-valuable. It is conceivable next year with the high proportion of F/S and academy picks that a pick in the 50’s or early 60’s becomes a pick in the 30’s.

    If only we had one more pick.  Mitch O’Neill or Fraser Phillips.  Both look likely AFL Players with excellent skills and that class to play at the top level.  Both will definitely get rookie listed.

    (b) In addition to maintaining the maximum number of allowable Category A Rookie
    Players on their Rookie List under Rule 10.1, each Club may include a maximum
    of three (3) extra Players on its Category B Rookie List provided those Players
    are:
    (i) former International Scholarship List Players at that Club who have been
    nominated under Rule 13.5 or 13.8;
    (ii) former Club Academy players at that Club who have been nominated
    under Rule 14.4;
    (iii) International Players with the exception of Players who, subject to Rule
    10.1(c), are Irish citizens or who have, in the opinion of the AFL, lived for
    a substantial period of time in Ireland prior to inclusion on the Rookie List;
    (iv) Players who have not been registered or played in an Australian football
    competition for 3 years immediately before inclusion on the Rookie List;
    (v) a Qualified NGA Player of the Club who has been nominated in
    accordance with Rule 15.8(c).

    Are we going to pick any players in the rookie draft?

    I suppose they can nominate for the mid season draft, should anything happen to anyone on our list, we can pick one of them up?

    Both got picked up as rookies.  Desperately unlucky not to be drafted.

    Any chance you could post your earlier quotes re O’Neill.

    I really like your posts mate, but you do have a tendency to overrate players, particularly when compared to where they end up being drafted.

    • 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.

    • 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.
