    WAFL season starts in 2 weeks, think JVRs younger brother Sam, will start getting spoken about a little. Put together good pre season, good size, endurance and like JVR in his attack on the contest in the air and at ground level

    Cheers Pennant, is he psychically as big as Jacob?

    Not at JVR’s current size in terms of build, but height and size is the same as JVR at the same age

    Would be great to have another brother combo at the club!

    The Herald Sun’s online page has a feature today highlighting the 2023 draft prospects.

    There are two players covered in the article of special interest to Demon fans so I thought we should kick things off early.

    The first is a father/son prospect who is the son of our Nathan Brown who played 146 games for the club between 1998 and 2007. A dogged small utility, Brown’s achievements included -

    • Fourth Best and Fairest 2002
    • Most Consistent Player 2002
    • Second Best and Fairest 2004
    • Most Consistent Player 2004
    • Best Clubman 2005 


    Here’s the item about his son Kynan 

    32CFD55D-DD3C-4E66-A3A7-B9A60E67160F.jpeg

    In addition to a plethora of 'father-and-sons' recruiting to come for the Mighty Dees, this one is a 'must get' and perhaps, the most talented of all. Should he join the Dees, consider the learning curve that he will enjoy to emulate the skills and career of his Dad, and the related values to the team. He has so many attributes that his development is already in train so let's accelerate that potential.

    Cal Twomey and Riley Beverage on the podcast 'Gettable AFL'  predict that clubs will offer-up 3 first rounders for Harley Reid.

    Can't imagine why he wouldn't nominate the Dees.

    Have been training with us, his Dad is still involve at the club (presented McVee's jumper on the weekend), and we are doing very well as a club on and off the field.

    Would be crazy to go elsewhere.

    Norff or Hawks will grab him. Atleast GWS wont.

    No untried player is worth 3 top draft picks. Absurd.

    GWS ?  Hold my beer!

    The Hawks already have one hand on the #1 draft pick after last week’s disaster. Probably will continue that way throughout the season.

    Agree we'd be crazy to pass up on Kynan Brown.  From what i've seen he is as tough as nails and has a lot of upside. A couple of his teammates would be nice to get as well.

    ESPN’s early u/18 power rankings (no Knightmare?). Glaring omissions for mine are Murray’s Darcy Wilson and GWV’s George Stevens, otherwise a good wrap.
     

    There is some talent in this crop and Reid isn’t the only player clubs will trade up for. Have to imagine the Suns 1st pick is on the table with a couple of high end Academy talents coming through.

    Definitely have Darcy Wilson in top 20 - probably around 15 on this list. His pace and evasive skills as a mid would be a nice addition to the red and blue.

    At the moment he is head and shoulders above the rest of the 2023 draftees. He would also walk in to just about any of the 18 clubs starting 22/23 tomorrow.

    Was at the Claremont colts game, Curtin playing sore and kept the best defender busy, SVR missed a couple of set shots but presented all day and second efforts at ground level were good. Jett Sibosado (Freo Next Gen) plenty of tackles, pressure acts and smart ball use as medium forward, Bailey Banfield very Viney like around the stoppages, Austin Van Der Stuyf (one for 2024) really clean and smart with his disposal, Claremont just far to strong around the stoppages and those 3 tall forwards really hard match up for a lot of sides. Hiscock good tall defender for West Perth. Perth colts also good display against Subiaco Aidan O’Driscoll clean and damaging as usual, small forward Bobby Warrell caused headaches for Subiaco’s backline, Coen Livingston also important.  Oscar Dees and Luka Kentfield Subiaco’s best

    Didn't think I'd be keeping too close an eye on this year's crop, but thank you Fremantle. 😉

    Curtin played forward?

    Generally thought he was a defender?

    Played forward, is a really good defender but also a good forward, he has so much versatility. Will miss this week as there’s an AIS camp I believe.

    Next round has 4 WAFL colts games back to back all at Joondalup, so no doubt plenty of recruiters will be there

    Wonder what happened at ESPN to Knightmare? He used to command pride of place there and was previous to that prolific on the bigfooty board. 

    Probably made money writing for ESPN but no longer.

    He has 'retired' from the draft stuff

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
