A player to watch out for is Gippsland Power skipper and midfield bull Bailey Humphrey who had 31 disposals and kicked four goals against the Northern Knights on return from almost three months off with a meniscus tear. So impressive was his form that itโ€™s likely he will be added to the Vic Country squad for the final NAB National Championship game vs Vic Metro.

Apparently a bit of a Serong-style of player. Had 5 behinds to go with those 4 goals, he could have had an enormous day!

Hi PSD. Reuben was in my group at about 23-25 range. Heโ€™s a good youngster as a inside mid, already played senior footy and looks like a young leader. ย Jed Hagan is the other West Australian that I was thinking would be in the mix. But I might be a little gun shy of recommending youngsters from WA right now !!!ย

He impressed when moved into midfield for WA, moved right up the boards. Seen much of him, @Pennant St Dee?

My apologies SONS, didnโ€™t see him, donโ€™t think heโ€™s get the same tricks as Serong, just a real competitor and leader

Morning Chaser, yes he goes to school with my oldest (who is in the year group below) I have seen him play over the last two seasons and really been impressed with him. He played all of last season at CHB and stood out to me as a good 3rd tall with game awareness, strong hands and really good rebound defender. ย 
Saw him play seniors for East Perth earlier in the season and he had no issues with the bigger bodies. ย This season heโ€™s spent a lot more time running through the middle and really began moving up the draft boards. Woey is the midfield coach at Wesley and heโ€™s really pushed for Ginbey to play more through the middle. Tim Lamb came to watch him earlier in the season, big crowd there vs Scotch on Saturday so whether Tim was there again Iโ€™m not sure. ย Heโ€™ll be a good player, not a superstar but just has that competitive nature and work ethic, does the basics well

Bit of a Deven Robinson mate? Really like him as a player, despite his yo-yoing in and out of the Brisbane side.

Long-time Melbourne fans will see a striking resemblance to Warren Dean in the way he moves and looks but he's obviously more of an around the ground player, more nimble than Warren and he can't kick it 80 metres. But he's a shorter dead ringer.ย  I think he will probably play a lot forward for Country if he plays.ย  ย In his Power games he plays a lot deep forward.ย  He's good on the lead, he can outwrestle the mid-sized defenders and he' s a good worker when he goes inside midfield, he's physical, he can run and carry and he's got some tricky footwork at times to get out of trouble.ย  The area of his game that warrants improvement or more consistency is ball use by foot.ย  It's not horrible but it's not elite.ย  I think clubs will like him as a guy that can play anywhere from midfield/wing/half-forward/deep forward.ย  Stylistic, the comp is a less-talented more blue collar Colin Sylvia.

His stats in the Northern Knights game need to be taken in context.ย  It's one of - if not - the best NAB team playing one of the worst.ย  The Knights best players are bottom agers, one Caddy, their most highly-touted player is a key forward prospect so out of the game.ย  The other two Alex D'arroย  (an extremely lightย  outside wing/half back distributor) and Will Green (16yo ruck) are talented but overwhelmed.ย  The Power have their own equivalent of bottom agers, plus a handful of draft prospects for this year including Humphrey.

For what it's worth I think Konstanty is their best AFL prospect.ย  He's a classy player but a touch small andย  I like the wayย  Cooper Vickery goes about his work as a Trent Rivers type third or fourth tallest back.ย  ย I'd be surprised if he isn't drafted or rookied and he doesn't get mentioned a lot.

The star of the day was Zane Duursma though.ย  On his game on the weekend, even taking into the account the opposition, he has thrust his name into very high draft pick calculation next year.ย  A very, very good player.

I dont have him going that high, I think his teammate Jedd Busslinger will be the first WA boy selected. ย Be interesting to see how he finishes the season, he has 2 school games left , with East Perth sitting out of finals contention with just an outside chance of making it .

Their Colts are currently sitting 3rd and should be safe, but they have a tough run home with 4 games against other contenders.

He will be able to play their last 3 H & A games. By that stage the seniors may be out of contention and a good finals series May see him go top 10

AFL Draft - August Power Rankings: Son-of-a-gun back on top of the class

Knightmare has installed everybodyโ€™s favourite Will Ashcroft back on top of his power rankings and no wonder. Heโ€™s a prolific ball winner, never lets you down and would walk into most AFL teams right now if it were possible. The Brisbane Lions are going to have to accumulate plenty of points to secure him.

No Kynan Brown in yr prospective 2023 first round, @IvanBartul13?

No and I forgot about some other players like Patrick Hughes be well ahead of him as well at this stage IMHO


Thanks for sharing your mock @IvanBartul13, great stuff.

Itโ€™s not until you see the 2023 names on paper that you start to get an idea of just how stacked next yearโ€™s crop is looking at this stage. Reid, Duursma & Moir, phwoar!

Thanks for that @IvanBartul13ย ย interesting you have Cadman going so early. Probably well out of our reach even if we get good picks for Jackson. For a draft that was called the land of giants there doesnโ€™t seem to be a lot of key forwards.ย 
Hows does next years draft look for Big forwards?

Jack Delean caught my eye as well in the championships. Certainly looks an impressive group next year.

ย 

@IvanBartul13ย thanks IB13. ย Dees likely only take 3 picks given we mightnโ€™t have a lot of player turnover. Of course it all shifts if Jacko moves west.
Interesting and agree that the Kangas should be bold and grab Cadman. Theyโ€™ve got the Mids in JHF (? Future), LDU, Simpkin, Powell, Phillips and Curtis. They need a key forward alongside Larkey.ย

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
