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.

    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 ?

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
