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 ?

    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.

    This is the kind of pick i would like if we lose jackson. Have no idea how freo could get it done. 

  • Quote

    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: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?
