    No he was not.

    He was a handy player who played some very good games & got the most out of himself.

    My understanding was the club tried to trade Kowal to a WA club to be able to gain a pre selection pick to be able to select a young indigenous boy from Healsville. Kowal refused to be traded. The young player went on to play over 200 games All Aust and premiership player. David Wirrpanda.

    Haven't heard a word about him for quite a while. Anyone know anything.

    Given we've only got picks 5 & 9 I assume if we are going to get him it will be in the rookie draft and if someone goes for him before that we can't do anything about it without going into debit in next year's draft.

    He's not AFL standard in my opinion and I wouldn't be offering him a rookie spot.

    Save it for Riak Andrew.

    Darren Kowal was a great player.

    We had the chance to let Kowal go to WC and we would have got David Wirrapunda……we lost on that arrangement. That stains my thoughts on Kowal.

    Just noticed this has been said!

    Ok I'm going to put this out once and only once because I don't have much if any experience of watching him.

    Is the kid any good? Can he actually make it in the AFL?

    I feel like there's a section of this place that just wants to see a team full of father/sons for the romanticism of it.

    Impressed during pre-season training, outperforming some of our seasoned forwards.

    Started the year well in the Coates league before an injury. Never kicked on upon his return.

    His raw talent will see the club find a spot for him. Plays like Kyle Langford.

    Well evidently the answer is going to be a wait and see for the Rookie Draft.

    Id like to see Noah Rookie’d, he is a good size and has shown that he is a talented youngster, being an Yze I see it as repaying Adem in some small way for his great services to the Dees. We have more spots this year and can accommodate him and who knows he could be a ripper and it may help sway others in the years to come. I.e Dees respect the tradition of F/S’s.

    Agree with should be rookieing Riak Andrew first. Has more X factor than Noah or Ricky Mentha.

    I assume one or two rookies will be moved on to the main list so probably room for two rookies plus Mentha will be a Cat B rookie so won't effect this decision.

    I always like your thinking DeeZone but I'd really hate it if this was just a nepotism pick. If he does have the raw materials that could be worked with and evenually fashioned into a decent AFL player then by all means we should take the punt but it's sounding like some of our NGA products might be worthy consideration for the rookie spot as well.

    Is there a priority with a f/s in the rookie list?

    I think they changed the system so players can be Rookie listed ahead of the Rookie draft, so long as they were not bid on in the National Draft.

    That would absolutely be the very last reason that we'd pick him up

    Would be an insult to Adem and Noah, IMO

    Club doesn't owe anyone with any special treatment. 

    Otherwise Nathan Jones would be a premiership player.

    Regardless of whether you're son of a gun or not, I want to recruit players who show glimpse of being potential AFL standard.

    I don't see it with Noah at all unfortunately.

    Correct subject to Rule 8.8 (b) below. 

    Rule 8.8  Father/Son Rookie Pre-Selection

    (a) Subject to Rule 8.8(b), where an eligible Father/Son Player has been nominated in accordance with Rule 8.4(b) and is not selected at a National Draft or PreSeason Draft Selection Meeting, the Club with whom he is eligible as a 54 Father/Son Player may include him on its Rookie List prior to the Rookie Draft Selection Meeting in accordance with Rule 10.4.  

    (b) Prior to the inclusion of a Player on its Rookie List under Rule 8.8(a), the Club must provide to the AFL written evidence of the Club’s and Player’s agreement to be listed as a Rookie. That agreement must specify that the Player can and will only be listed on the Club’s Rookie List if he is not selected by any Club at the National or Pre-Season Draft Selection Meeting.

    So is that for F/S and NGA players?

    Rule 15.8 (c) Rookie Pre-selection

    If a Qualified NGA Player is eligible to be selected in the National Draft Selection Meeting and is not selected, the relevant Club may include the Player on its Rookie List prior to the Rookie Draft Selection Meeting by lodging Form 34A by the date required by the AFL. 

     

    It looks like you don't have to have that written agreement before the draft that if not selected they have to agree to be picked as a Rookie. Looks like that can be decided at the end of the draft. Although the rule requires the form to be lodged by a date required by the AFL so that could be earlier than the draft. Who knows.

    if they elevate AMW from the rookie list he comes from Category B leaving two spots in that section of rookies.  Mentha one and the other can be also academy, international or other sport such as basketball.   We have no vacancies at the moment on the ordinairy A rookie list and I can't see anyone there being upgraded just for the sake of creating a vacancy.  If Hore goes then there is one vacancy.   More likely to select out of contract players after the draft or save a spot for mid year draft to fill the senior list.  So appears to me a choice of Yze or Hore unless they have their eyes on another cat A player.  If we do not get Derkson I don't see the rationale in getting rid of Thomlinson.  We don't need the senior spots as we have more spots than selections at the draft and we need a key defender to cover injuries.  I make no assessment on Adams but he is at least 2 years away from building a body and confidence.

    Agree he looked comfortable in the match simulation in the pre-season.  He's got some good size too.

    I thought we had no rookie picks? They have to be delisted free agents? Mentha is the only rookie pick we can have with Farris-White departing.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
