Twomey doesn't throw names around which makes his mention of Anthony Caminiti linked to us quite interesting, albeit as a rookie.

A profile for him is anthony-caminiti

Height: 196cm, Weight: 83kg

STRENGTHS:

+ Mobility
+ Leading Patterns
+ Overhead Marking
+ Clean Hands
+ Scoreboard Impact

IMPROVEMENTS:

- Strength
- Exposure

SUMMARY:

In a draft crop dominated by midfielders, clubs may be more willing to take chances on developing talls a little higher up the order. In Caminiti's case, he'd be an ideal late-round or rookie option given his upside and rate of development, with exciting traits which can be enhanced at the next level. He is mobile and comfortable in possession, adding a bit of dynamism to go with his goalkicking and marking ability.

It sounds like that with a bit of development he could be a very good forward.

 

cama is a mate of my brothers, started the year about 188cm and has just blasted up, kicked 9 and 6 in seperate school games this year and i guess is just sort of coming to grips with what to do with his newfound size, definition of a project player but has the skills around the ground from his midfield days so would be a good prospect

Caminiti also has the correct number of syllables for the commentators to scream his name out whenever he does something spectacular - think "Jesaulenko!!".

 

Anybody here JT on AFL radio? Wasn’t able to listen and keen to hear what he said. 

Seems absurd that Daicos could slide to 4 before a bid comes. He’s the best player in the draft. Realistically North should bid on him with pick 1. Same happened with Tom Green a few years back not getting a bid until 10-12ish when he was clearly top 5 talent and has proven to be that.

Mac Andrew at 5 is a bit of a laugh. Being compared to Jackson but output is a mile off it and his body will take years to stand up to the rigors of AFL. Must be a horrific draft for talls if he gets taken that high!

Didn’t say much. They asked him about the flag. Asked about Taj and he said nothing new. Asked about AMW and got a lukewarm response.

On pick 19 he gave little away. But also didn’t deny the group of players Twomey has linked - Howes, Wilmot, Brown and Chesser were likely the ones.

My takeaway from it was we can either sit at 19 and wait for probably one of those 4 to come through or we’ll try to trade up to get one of the highest rated ones.

Def worth a look at one of our last picks

I heard it too. DeeSpencer pretty much had it covered.

Taylor gave very little away. When questioned about pick 17 he said like normal they have got the players ranked and think there will be one or two players that he wants that would be available at the pick. He added that if they picked any one of these players he had in mind that he would be extremely happy. 

While I'm pretty sure he said "one or two" I got the impression he meant more than this.

Mentioned that a conversation with Taj Woewodin had been had to say we will only match a bid at a certain point. I am guessing that Taylor has some other kids he is expecting to pick with our 2nd pick (37) and that we are expecting a bid after this to match with our third and final pick on the night.

Thanks @DeeSpencer  One thing is guaranteed.  JT and the team have all the experience and strategies. Runs on the board.   We are in good hands.

I see Bailey Smith when he carries the footy

 

🤞Howes lasts to our 1st pick. He’s a strong chance. Certainly has the skills and marking ability to be a very good player.

The club have ramped up several meetings with Murray Bushranger prospect Tom Brown in the past fortnight. This has also included his family being part of the process as welll.

In the past week our senior Bushies coach and footy manager have been asked once again for a reference background check on his character and off field behavior's.

The feeling we have is that Tom is under serious consideration for our pick now, as they have pretty big wraps on him.

My personal opinion is that we have Darcy Wilmot as our number 1 target, followed by Brown if Wilmot does not last to our pick.

Thanks for sharing dazzle. I love demonland for these little pieces of intel. Tipped to go to Sydney in a couple phantoms I've seen and looks to be around that 16 - 25 range. 

What are your thoughts on him as a footballer?

Goater & Erasmus seem to be the sliders judging by the phantoms released today and yesterday

Thanks Dazzle. Think you’re spot on re: Wilmot, seems like a few clubs have rounded on him as the preference in that range, he could well be the target of clubs seeking to trade up  the order a touch.

He qualifies for the draft by a single day, so a heap of potential for growth.

As a footballer he's a beautifully balanced player who reads the game really well and uses speed off half back to really provide that dash and carry. He's also a great link up player who'll give off a hand ball and then spread hard to the next contest to provide as an extra option. Bit like what Ed Langdon does. Not only is his able to provide dash off half back, but is also able to lock down when needed, so already has good defensive mindset in his game

For someone of his height and weight 186cm 71kg I don't think i have seen a more impressive player of his size that is able to take  intercept contested marks down back. Has amazing reading of the game and just times himself in going for those intercept marks. It really does remind me of Jake Lever with this part of his game.

The way I'm looking at this pick is  its pretty much an apprentice role to Michael Hibberd or to release River/Bowey to a future midfield role.

Off field he's a really driven kid who comes from a ripper family.  Mooroopna boy who i can't speak highly enough.

You’d have to think they have plans to release Rivers. I understand we maybe lacking a certified lockdown small/medium defender, but we’d be stacked in the backline with Hunt, Tomlinson to return

Is this write up about Brown or Wimot? 

Thanks for the inside word dazzle.

Dazzle is ther any word re: interest in Brown from Sydney, who widely mocked to take him and there are rumours of them meeting with his management quite fervently.

  • 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.

  • 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.
