No pressure kid !

His woodwork teacher says Noah works well in a High Pressure System.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high with Noah. Didn’t stand out at school level with Caulfield Grammar, would be a romantic story to have him as a father / son but I think he will be another Kobe Farmer that is not quite good enough for AFL level. 

Not to mention Brad Flower! We actually have not had anywhere near the success that other clubs have in this regard!

& from what you’ve seen previously, is that the position he’s earmarked to play?

Well, that's six more than Petty had in the VFL before coming in!

No, but seriously, the kid is just doing the right thing by the club and staying under the radar.

Or maybe it is loading?

At the moment, young Yze is of a size just a little bit too short for a key position and probably not quite fast enough for a midfielder. He’s still young enough to grow and develop his skills and running ability so it’s fantastic that he’s in the elite system at a strong Coates Talent League club along with the benefit of being under the eye of both the Melbourne Football Club and his father which means he has a good chance of getting onto our club’s list if he puts in the work.

Hopefully, he will get the opportunity once or twice this year to show his wares at Casey as Kynan Brown did last year.

My memory is BP left the club early 2012 and went to Carlton. Todd came in and was calling the shots at trade time late 2012. He has to wear the Wines non selection. He knew how good Wines was and knew Toumpas as well. I thought the reason given as to why we went for Toumpas was that we didn’t need 2 in and under bulls. To be fair all the experts were a big wrap for Toumpas but we never saw why that was. 

Touumpas was playing senior footy in SANFL, winning a premiership before he was drafted, I believe it was the media and the fans, constantly reminding him he's not as good as wines, the pressure got to the kid

I believe he also had both hips operated on around the time he was drafted and that resulted in him losing a bit of speed.

interesting that yze is relief rucking as quite an undersized option

If he's doing similar work to JVR it might indicate competitiveness and a good leap, good traits to have coming into his draft year 

Listed at 190cm and turns 18 tomorrow. 

I wonder if he’s gone one more growth spurt in him… 4 or 5 more cm would be perfect.

haha I thought the same thing. Yze was more of a winger who could go forward.


Our Adem was primarily a half-forward, rarely ever a wingman. 234 goals from 271 games

Give him time to grow into his body and develop in the 2’s. Just look at Taj, he didn’t leap out as a contested beast in his draft year either, but he is developing very nicely at Casey and will be a player before too long imo.

Taj has also added some 'in-close' skills with both hand and foot, and does move to receive these days around more central play. Developing nicely, a very strong prospect in the not-too-distant-future ...

played a lot of half back early days. some midfield then plenty of time fwd 

brilliant utility with silky skills

Started forward.
 

Daniher moved him to half back.

Then opposition coaches decided that he was too dangerous and he was moved up the ground again and rotated from deep forward to mid. 


I think half forward would’ve been an ok description.

Re Noah. I think he is a bit of a late developer. He wasn’t focused solely on footy for a while there. 
The knock on him I heard was about athleticism and hardness. But that was 2 years ago. He may have matured since then. 
Like all father-son prospects. I want him to come to us and be successful. But also not cost us much in terms of draft considerations.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
