Mature Age Players

From time to time, clubs strike pay dirt with mature age players. 

There are always a few around in every draft. The most famous one in recent years would have to be James Podsiadly who was taken by Geelong as a rookie (third time lucky) at 29 years of age and played in the Cats’ 2011 premiership team. Fox Sports have compiled a list of 18 mature-age “guns”.

The 18 mature-age guns your club could steal at the 2021 AFL draft

    And the Pod went on to play till he was in his mid 30s when he left Geelong to play for Adelaide.

    The word ‘gun’ is used way too loosely.

    Such a term should only be used when discussing absolute greats of the game………….or any one of the Dees 2021 premiership team, as we were a gun team.

    You would be filthy if you were a Brisbane supporter and Casey Voss goes on to play for another club.

    Heard a whisper about Claremont’s Bailey Rogers who won the Sandover Medal this year. Aged 24 and very talented. Would make a good fit in our midfield - that’s how good he’s supposed to be!

    Are there Victorian clubs interested in him?

    That he’s a damned good footballer who would fit into and improve most AFL midfields. Worth a look for Melbourne but I have no definite information that we’re interested.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?
