Yeah I can't see a player of this calibre going outside top 10. He just offers enough that is different and stands out. 

 

It’s reach that matters, height is irrelevant.

Seems to have footy ‘smarts’, a strong work ethic, good agility for a tall kid, good hands and a long kick.  Very happy if we can work our way up the draft and nab him.

Moves real well, cant wait for the 194cm debate......

Oh, he's 194cm? Will never be a player. No thanks. Admins, please close the thread now.

Best key forward in the upcoming draft. We’ll need to get a top 5 pick to have a chance at drafting him.

Also believe there’s already a thread about him?

Measure out 6cm it really isn’t that much. If he has a leap and good reach it will neutralise them deficit. Plus he may grow another few cms in the next year or two.

Can he crash a pack though ?

Apparently we are looking at this kid very closely 

 

Aaron seems to have a good :"footy brain" - sees options , shares the ball, tackles fiercely - but those misshapen goals at KittyLitter Park seem evasive 🤯


For comparison, here is a really interesting video on Charlie Curnow from his draft year.

He talks about not really knowing where his best position was, but he says forward, mid or back.

At that stage, he was 191cm (I think he's 192cm now), but it's his explosiveness that makes him such a threat and provides him with that x factor.

Interestingly, he compares himself at that stage to Jake Stringer.

Cadman does seem more like the smooth moving half forward type, but perhaps JVR can be that more explosive competitor at 192cm.

Be interesting to see who gets Cadman and I'd love to be a fly on the wall amongst Melbourne recruiters this year.

If Jacko wants to go to Fremantle, I'd be asking their trading guy for a suitably high pick.

If he refuses, we could then respond with "Don't be a cad, man".

Of course, that risks being banned from the draft under the Appalling Dad Joke rule.

Luckily, he has grown. He said on the Road to the Draft podcast he is now over 196cm.

Highlights from the last Championship game for those that are interested in the key forward. If I'm North Melbourne I'm not passing him up considering the amount of mids they've invested in recently.

Just confirming - in the last ten minutes he won the game for Vic Country with a goal weaving through a pack followed by a goal from a strong leading mark?

Noice.

I don’t think Norf need a KPF but could understand them taking him. They need more half backs and outside midfielders. They already have Larkey and Zurhar which are good forwards. I think they will also need a ruck as Coleman Jones is a bit meh.

Put them back in front, but Metro got up to win

What’s he like in pack mark / contested marking situations? Of the three highlights packages most of his marks are on the lead and he’s out in space. When going for a contested mark he only really took the one and that was juggled. 
Long range kicking for goal reasonably accurate with the odd shank. 
Keeps his feet in the contest.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.
