    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.

    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.

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
