A good read on a few of our youngster's.

Excellent read. I’m very optimistic for Jackson and Rivers.  Both were impressive last year. 
I’d have Laurie and Bowey on a par for talent and execution. But they are young and didn’t play in 2020. Jordan could be very useful and his skills/kicking are very efficient. Might get a go in the first few rounds.

    So a player (Bowey) who you wouldn't have drafted ahead of the third and fourth last players taken in the entire draft last year, in addition to a totally undrafted and unlisted player, is now miraculously,  in your view, as talented as our highest draft pick in the last six years?

    But Bowey did play well in the VFL scratch match ......

    ??  I was not comparing Luke Jackson with Bowey. I was comparing Bowey and Laurie. 

    Jackson and Rivers will be regulars in the red and blue.  Very very optimistic about them.  

    Both Bowey and Laurie should be given probably get the first 6-7 games at Casey at least given they didn’t play last season. My opinion.

    Lot of hype around James Jordon.  Didnt see anything to warrant it in the two preseason games to be honest.

    There was a moment where he burst away from the pack to receive a handball from the congestion on the boundary wing, he ran and kicked it to half forward. If he can do that often, it's just what we need.

    Jackson will be an incredible player. 
     

    Let’s hope he remains with the club for years to come.

    I happen to believe that our 6 draftees from 2019 Draft ( Jacko Kossie snd Riv) snd 2020 ( Bowey Laurie and Rosman) are just as important In development as our Top  6 AA boys for our Club.

    Mist we're selected because if their skills in the game which we are deficient in.

    Disposal is our Achilles heal and Riv Kossie and Jake and Bailey are very skilled and smart small men who will add pace and cleverness to our playing stocks in the next fire years.

    Jacko was a No  3 draft pick too good to Ignore and has really exciting ball skills pace and handball for his size and age.

    Riv is a very rounded player off half back for his youth s as Nd plays like a 100 gamer on his composure and minding his opponent.

    I witnessed his magnificent almost BOG game vs GWS last year at the Gabba and no way would we have won without this young Tyro performing st such a high level. I even believe Riv ( and Jake and Bailey ) are kids who could end up as Captain of our Club or Vice in the future.

    Fraser Rodman has aN upside in size at 194cm, pace, marking and his endurance and tank plus he's not a bad kick and at 18 yrs had an AFL body to develop quickly on the wing especially. He will develop once he pickS up all the things on how to  play st AFL level.
     

    Kossie is an excitement machine running tackling and performing at a high pace and enthusiasm and once he adds composure he will start to fulfil his potential and be a consistent goal contributor and assister in Ours our attacking plans for the next decade or more.

    All very important each one snd this group are vital for our future and I have high hopes for all which could add the pieces of The puzzle for our next long awaited flag.
     

    May they all have long and successful careers at the Dees.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
