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. 

They seem quality people.

    Doubtful pick now that Woewodin is a father-son with a certain spot on our main list.

    i believe there's another list deadline which is for rookie only nominations? what the crows did last year with luke edwards before the eagles stepped in

    There is no rookie nominating before the National draft.  Clubs can list their nominated father-son or NGA players as rookies for free after the National Draft and before the rookie draft if obviously they are passed over initially.   Adelaide declined to nominate Luke Edwards as a father-son altogether so he was fair game last year in the ND.  Gold Coast were able to Prelist their Zone selections as Rookies last year.

    Got that @IvanBartul13 but I notice that  Collingwood announced the other day that it has opted against nominating one of its NGA prospects Youseph Dib for priority access at the draft. Was that just to let the football world know that they could freely select him in the knowledge that their bid wouldn’t be matched?

    NGA nominations closed yesterday.

    Anyone know if we nominated him for the right to match a bid?

    If we nominated him we can opt not to match or if he gets through the draft take him our very last pick or in as a B rookie?

    NGA players go from being NGA players to Qualfied NGA players in their draft year (draftable and matchable). Thats always been just a standard process done by clubs and the AFL during the year and is the NGA lists that pop up on the AFL website and the like through the year.  I thought it was basically an automatic process in the draft year that they become that then, at the draft, clubs bid and the players Academy club can match with points or they choose not to.

     Collingwood have no category b rookie spots so they cant rookie him automatically if he falls through the draft as a category B and they obviously dont want to take him In the national draft.  Either they are just announcing it for the player’s emotional benefit,  for the smoother running of the draft or there is now a a more specific nomination process closer to the draft.  But i thought NGA players were essentially automatically tied to their home clubs (match bids notwithstanding) unlike father sons who both player and club have to submit agreement paperwork to the AFL prior to the draft almost like a trade, as per Taj Woewodin.  NGA players agree to be tied to club when they join the academy.

    Re Dib they could still draft him in the normal rookie draft, but its the first time an announcement of this type has been made, maybe the AFL has a new rule where clubs have to specifically announce and lock in the NGA players they intend to draft  but that hasnt been the case previously.  Its possible the journos have found out  or been told that Dib bid wont be matched and their article suggests there’s an official process that doesnt exist.  Not 100% sure.

    Edit:  Actually i am wrong and there is a nomination process, was Friday, and its just newsworthy they havent nommed him.

    Thanks - so presumably, we are going to see a list come out of the players nominated as NGAs.

    In his Phantom Draft, Cal Twomey says we have nominated Andy.  He thinks he will join us as a rookie.  In his case it will be as a 'B' rookie.

    Thanks, I missed that.

    While unlikely that Mac Andrew slides, its good to see we also nominated him.

    The Saints have 4 NGA nominations.  It is unlikely they will take them all.

    Don’t you have to take all NGA nominees if available?

    No - but you can list them as Cat B if no one bids on them in the draft and you nominate them. If you don't nominate them, you cannot put them on a Cat B list.

    the announcement should come around 1-2pm before the pre-season and rookie drafts because as they've slipped through the national draft all the remaining NGA nominated players become instant cat B's so us, hawthorn, blues and there might've been one or two others i don't remember

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
