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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
