When should the highlight packages show up? Really interested in Turner's highlights don't know a lot about him.

    Freeman has decent foot skills so not sure what you're getting at.

    Welcome to the club boys. 

    On a side note, there has been reports that Mac Andrew, our NGA player in the draft this year could be bid on before pick 20 which would mean we would not be able to match the bid. 

    5 clubs picked up pure rucks with 2 more picking up Ruck/Fwds. Hopefully the majority impress which should prevent clubs from taking a punt on a ruck with a top 20 pick.

    initially i agreed with this but i think itll have the opposite impact. these players are gone now which puts added value to those rated at the end of season. the only tall i've seen rated higher than mac andrew is F/S sam darcy...

    makes gawny and guss' comments today even more confusing... maybe they were told to keep it under wraps mid sentence otherwise could make for a frosty 2nd meeting with kye

    I think that it is likely that they shouldn’t be encouraged to publicly announce who we intend to take ahead of time lest a team pip us with their selection...

    Good on the Admin and the board for letting us fill all spots - it’s great to be able to do that and have the depth to replace a Petty or a Hibberd.

    It’d be very unlikely anyway. The only rucks taken top 20 are can’t-miss types like Natanui or Jackson.

    To be honest these were my thoughts too. I feel like Calum Twoomy was just padding his article out and really wanted to mention the rule changes. I thinking it was more likely we would pick him up late or as a rookie.

     I have just had a look at the phantom drafts to get a read on where he was ranked. There were just 2 to look at and both had him ranked at about 13-15.

    One of the phantom drafts was knightmare who mentioned that Mac had bolted up the board due to his last quarter in the NAB league Academy vs Geelong VFL. I'm currently watching the 4th quarter of this game to have a look and boy it does not disappoint. Macs ruck work is freaking good. Winning multiple taps and clearences against Darcy Fort who is a well built ruck. He looks so skinny though and it looks like he will need to build some endurance. 

    Here is the game. Jump to 1:51:00 for the start of the 4th. Geelong kick a heap of goals so there is a heap of centre square hitouts to watch. The first hitout of thr 4th js worth the effort to watch alone.

    #28 Mac Andrew (Dandenong Stingrays/VC)

    One of the steepest risers in this year’s crop, the Melbourne Next Generation Academy (NGA) prospect proved his true first round potential. He played up either end and gained a good tick for his versatility, but well and truly came to life in the final term with an awesome showing in the ruck – despite the result being well beyond his side at that point. Andrew caught the eye with phenomenal vertical leaps at each centre bounce, with his first act of the final term a follow-up clearance. He highlighted his marking ability with a nice clunk in front, and showed off some finesse in the ruck with a wonderfully directed hit to the anchoring Jason Horne. Having started forward, the Dandenong Stingrays talent snared the first score of the game with a snap, before displaying clean hands on the move and flying well in his less fruitful move to defence. Demons recruiters will now be sweating on his potential after a string of terrific performances, if they were not already.

    Would have thought that'd be a bit of a problem for a footballer, but I'm sure the Dr and his intellect knows best.

    It’s been rumoured that after Melbourne had a long, hard look at Declase over the preseason, its recruiting people wanted to make sure that he had the strength and fitness base to make it at AFL level. So he went back to Werribee, worked hard and ... as a result, at the Midseason Draft, the Demons selected Fitter and Turner!

    You're free to go about and listen. They thought he was crap at the time. 

    That’s just not true at all. He had 2 training sessions. They told him to go back and do what you’ve been doing at VFL level and if you continue on with it there’s a chance mid year. He did exactly that.

    He’ll be a first or second round pick mate. Not sure why you’re assuming against the AFL journo who knows anything and everything about the draft.

    Tom Mitchell 2.0. Gets a lot of it, does nothing with it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
