Nathan Brown exuded sheer guts.

I was full of admiration.

I think he missed the Bluey by one vote .    ? to Jeff White

You are right JJC, 2004

 

Nathan Brown was my favourite all time player ( now Trac ) partly because he shares my last name, and just loved the way he went about it.

 

Really really hoping we pick up Kynan and he becomes a player, Trac may have to step aside haha!

Has (Cooper Schwartz) gone down the basketball path.

Re Cooper Schwartz - I seem to recall the media going on and on and on about some guy, an OK player,  at Collingwood “having a basketball background”. And of course there was someone who did OK late Q3 for us in the 2021 GF (though I heard somewhere that he is no longer with the Dees) who also “had a basketball background “.

I guess when average kicks are teaching their sons growing up it makes sense 😛

F/S Viney / Viney?

If there are a lot of tough bull ball magnet mids going around then surely his disposal will count against him.  Can Chocko really rectify fundamental flaws??

Just an update on Kynan Brown and a little bit of Noah Yze.

A contact within Murray bushrangers attended the Oakleigh Chargers practice match on the weekend against Sandringham. He's an opposition club scout.

His opinion was he thought Kynan was close to BOG for the chargers playing as a midfielder. Was quite impressive around the stoppages and showed a high level of grunt and speed as well.

He reckons he'll push himself into top 20 draft calculations if he keeps this form consistent all year.

Noah Yze also played as a bottom ager and he reckons he showed some really exciting traits and little bit of X factor at times throughout the game.

Played forward majority of the game and he reckons he's a genuine watch for 2024.

Thanks for this.  Any recent knowledge of how Jeff White’s son is tracking?

No yet. But I'm sure there will be more talk once the season gets under way, especially the state championships which I'm sure Kalani will feature hopefully. 

I will say though that when I watched him in the under 15's state championships in Lavington last year he was towering over his old man who was listed at 195cm during his playing career.

I'd be confident to say that I wouldn't be surprised if Kalani was close to tipping the 200cm mark and that's him being only 15 at the time!

Dazzle, glad you posted this. I have a habit of looking at phantom drafts and father-sons after a loss (no doubt a coping mechanism). Found myself watching a Noah Yze TikTok snap for goal and thinking gtf out of here

Kynan winning bit of the ball in the 1st quarter so far. Very clean kicking skills on display. 

Noah Yze already has a goal next to his name.


Thanks mate - do you know what numbers they are?

15 Yze

3 Brown

Both eligible for ‘24 draft?

3 Brown

I was hoping #3 was Brown but worried it was Lorenz. My take away so far (watching on and off) is that his tank seems to be much more developed than the other mids and seems to be ready to “hunt” it more than others. I thought Oakleigh’s clearance game suffered when he wasn’t in there. 
 

I thought #15 was a top ager (Yze is bottom age). His kicking and vision are afl level and while skinny, he looks like he stands up to the older boys. I also thought you could see he has been in a program (or at least his dad is coaching him). His half forward running is fantastic. Up and down a lot of unrewarded running  and doesn’t get sucked into the content. Set up a beautiful goal before half time where he ran into space, lost his man, and instead of blazing for goal he put a pass out in front of Oakleighs key forward who had no choice but to run to the ball as it “Drew” him in. It’s only one half - but if I was picking players I would want to be drafted to Melbourne - they’d be in my top 5 I’ve seen today.

That pass inside 50 by Yze was impressive for a big guy. Was running at too speed and composed himself well.

He looks tall doesn’t he! I thought he’d be a winger, but does he have 3rd tall height? 
 

I did my own “research”. Adem is 187 and Noah in photos is taller than his dad. So yes is the answer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
