    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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
