Maybe the other clubs realise he'll be going to Melbourne as a father-son so no point in inviting him.

Is this Kid any good?? Any body see him play?

Running around for the allies as we speak.  Nothing to write home about for the game in general, but at 1/2 time is leading the Allies Fantasy points.

In the games I’ve watched he’s a “component of a winning team” rather than the man. I can’t really liken him to anyone of our list. I’m a fan and would love him at the Dees. Fitness base is going to be a big thing for him. The flair is great; it’s the non-negotiables that id want to see when he comes into the side.

I got to a couple Nightcliff games earlier this year (unaware that we had an NGA prospect running around), but nothing really stood out. A kid against men though. 

If we do draft him, the good thing is that the kid will have plenty of time to develop. No rush for him to play seniors straight away given the age profile of our list.


Looks ok. I think he’s got the potential to be a half back or wing type runner.  I’d like to see him given a rookie spot and develop under Choco, wheels and Nev Jetta.

I haven't seen him play but it's likely that we won't have a rookie spot to give to him. Is he better than Woewodin?

Possibly our last pick in the rookie draft or alternatively an invite to take part in the pre season as a possible supplemental draft pick in March.

We already have 6 rookies that's the maximum.

To be exact, the number is seven at the moment but the club has the capacity to upgrade a player or players from the rookie list (which I expect to happen at least with James Jordon) and delist further players before the draft.

No? Maybe? It’s a really tough year because you don’t get to see them play against each other in the championships and today they had a couple of training sessions together before playing. So no real system or understanding of the players around them. 
 

Woey knows where to stand, runs both ways, and his teammates know where he is for the outlet. So looks better in the WA system. 
 

AMW has flair to his game and a turn of speed. He takes the game on and is exciting. But he was either not getting a handball or he’d break away and have nothing to kick too. 
 

I’d love to have both in the Dees next year and I think we are lucky to have them available to us. My “gut” feel, compared to last couple of years, is that they are 38-55 sort of range. Real late second / third round players who have good ceilings.

IIRC - James Jordon singed up for two years mid-season

Yes, he can be signed up on a contract but at the end of the year, he has to be uplifted from the primary list. This year, he could end up being one of the three players to go onto the senior list at the time of the draft. 

The pandemic and the closure of borders has played havoc with sport between the states. Last week the Tasmanian Sheffield Shield side skipped town from Brisbane before a ball was bowled in fear that Annastacia Palaszczuk might lock the town down. The Allies managed to thread together an assorted team but there was no chance that a competitive game would occur. AMZ acquitted himself well in the circumstances and was named in the best, albeit he only managed to get 10 touches.

No not really, and it doesn't work that way.

Nick Daicos got an invite when he's pretty much already with Collingwood already.

It's just mean Taj hasn't got that much interest really.

His old man, Shane, didn't have much interest in him either at the same age but went on and won a brownlow.

Looking forward to the "Welcome to the Melbourne Football Club Taj Woewodin" thread on Demonland.

You do realise a lot has changed since this post in August?

Woewodin has since gotten invite to the National combine which means more clubs have raised interest. 

It should come out within the next few weeks that Melbourne will hopefully nominate Woewodin as a father son selection.

Firewall … could you please provide the quote referencing AMW?

https://afl.draftcentral.com.au/player/andy-moniz-wakefield/

a bit more information on the kid, if we can get him as a cat B i think it'd be a good get given chandler/bedford are yet to really stamp themselves as afl grade small forwards and laurie more of an up the ground type AMW i think would be more of a deeper player hopefully loves the tackle once he bulks up


🎊 It’s his 18th birthday today  🎉

(or maybe it’s his “age” today?)

 

Yes definitely more of an outside midfield runner. 
Like to see him brought in as a Rookie. 

Then get him into the Brayshaw household as another young Demon boarder.  Even if he didn’t make it, the Brayshaws produce and develop fine young men and footballers.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
