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

    • 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.

      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.
