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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
