This bloke is the most intriguing prospect on our list IMO. Decent chance he never plays a game, but could be absolutely anything.

    Hopefully he can learn to play football.... seems crazy to say that about a player on an AFL list.

    Now one swallow does make a summer but the games I saw him play last season suggested to me he has a very long way to go before he is a good VFL player let alone higher. IMO the kid needs another 2-3 years at Casey. Patience will be needed.

    I have the same opinion as you. He looked way off and that was always meant to happen. I dont expect him to debut at all as he is still incredibly raw and light.

    Still only 19, says himself, aim is for a year at Casey , Stafford has the opportunity to build a ruckman from the ground up, a very popular guy amongst the other guys, for his enthusiasm and attitude

    To be fair that's pretty much the intended purpose of the Cat B rookie list. No doubt he's extremely raw and a very long way off, but has at least played some junior footy, and the potential upside is massive. Coming from a similar background, he can look to Stef Martin for inspiration (hopefully he sticks around if/ when he comes good though).

    Beef him up and then he can come back for pre season having slimmed down by 7 kegs and be right

    His father was a BIG man. Give him time, he will muscle up.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
