I've probably got Jefferson and Hollands too low in my top 50.  

Petric, Binns,  Murdoch, McMullin I had in my phantom and they all stiff to not be in top 50.

I stil can't get Szybowkski in my top 100 and yet he is in everyones top 20.

Clarke worries me not a crumber and not really a marking player and he is a bit undiscipled.  I probably under-rate him, but we'll see.

It was a very good game.

Saturday, you will see some very good kids in Harley Reid's vintage.

My early number 1 - Zane Duursma

Archer Reid a very good key forward

Ethan Read - a very good, technical tap ruckman

Ashton Moir - two-footed forward.

Kynan Brown playing as well.

 

Vic Country battled on all day and unlucky to lose a high quality contests. 
 

Mids: 

Jaxon Binns - - just loves to run and run and bounce and run. Also smart by hand and foot delivery. Elite AFL quality runner suited to link role or outside clearances. Kicked a nice 35m goal in 2nd qtr.  I’d like to see him in JTs list. 
Oliver Hollands ️- started on fire and is complete midfielder. Can play inside or outside mid role and disposal is excellent with good vision. Work rate all day. Surely he’s around pick 6-10 in draft. 
Harvey Gallagher - A very smart running small mid. Impressed with his contested footy and spread. Kept going all day. 
(Henry Hustwaite was quiet but his decision making and Pendlebury type composure was thereto see. Might be top 20ish or could drift into 3rd round.  Mitch Szybkowski was in and under but can see how he drifts down the board compared with better Mids. Rhys Clark was also relatively quiet for top 5-7 prospect but saw him some nice things). 

Defenders: 

Harley Reid - underage and eligible for ‘23 draft but almost ready to go into AFL now. Tough defender who wins one on one contests. Agression at the contest, the footy and his opponent. Kicked two goals in last qtr when put into attack. 
Caleb Mitchell- - just loved his footballer type game. Decision making and disposal was excellent.  Sharp left foot kick always looks good. Half back role. 
Coby Burgiel - good in patches with wing-half back role pushing forward. Faded out in the 2nd half. 
 

Forwards

Aaron Cadman - ️- wow. If there is ever a player for MFC, young Cadman is the one. Everyone says he’s like Jeremy Cameron… and he totally is. He marks. He kicks goals. He kicked two great goals in the last qtr to almost seal it for country. He moves all around the forward line and is incredibly dangerous. He can kick 50m with ease. 
Bailey Humphrey - - whilst he’s obviously more a strong mid, his Aaron Hamill type strong forward role was very good. Solid and quick and tough and skilled. That’s enough to see him go top 10. Kicked a lovely running goal in 2nd qtr.  He had limited midfield minutes but with a AFL preseason under his belt, he’d play round 1 2022. Like him at the Dees. 
Jakob Konstanty- - smart and skilled mid or forward. Quick and lively and clever player.  
 

Worth noting that Finn Emile-Brennan was very quiet. Seemed younger and certainly not physically developed especially pushed aside too easily in 2-3 contests. His ball use is elite and he hit a few nice targets. Only see him as a rookie at this time which would be good but I am unsure if Dees would have any spots available.

they don't need any spots - he can be classed/taken as a Category B rookie outside of the Rookie List proper.

You are both right.

If he is picked by another club during the draft we have the option to match the bid.  To do this we need draft picks and a list spot in the seniors.

If he isn't selected in the draft we can take him as a Cat B rookie without using any draft or rookie picks.  This is how we got Monz-Wakefield last year.

We are allowed two Cat B rookies.  We currently have one so there is room for FE-B.

*Cadman also was handy rucking up forward esp in last term when others were getting tired. 

Tske Ashcroft out of the Metro and Country could have won this by 2/4 goals in my opinion. Their goalkicking was not as sharp as Metro also.

i was concerned a number of times he tried to toe poke it out of packs instead of bodylining it/bending over. i know hes thin and all legs but if you can't do that at 18s level against fellow 18s itl be a shock to the system when its jack viney or clarry coming the other way at you

Jaxon Binns continues to show as a type of player that I’d like see at the Dees. He is another elite runner like Langdon and runs and runs and bounces and runs and delivers. AFL qualities including clearance link running and able to kick goals.  Whilst a priority is a key forward, another pacy running mid would be handy.  

Jaxon Binns looks like he’ll finally make his debut at the Blues. He’s been starring all through his first year in VFL and deserves his chance. Pick 32 in last years draft.  One to watch that got away imv !!!

  • 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 forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — 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.

    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 Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’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 isn’t a standard concept—it’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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’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  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
