Double-barrelled surnames are annoying to shout out at a game. I’m gunna call him TWO DADS

let's make it "two sheds jackson" in memory of a noted demonlander

and let's hope he's two-times as good a ruck as that other jackson emigre 


This makes our drafting of Finn Emile-Brennan interesting as we no longer have a B rookie spot.

So do we think he will go around pick 37 or do we not intend to take.  Of course we could swap in a late pick. 

Intriguing.

Edit: correction of pick 47 should have been pick 37.

The big question is how many Category B rookies is a club permitted to have on its list at any one time?

I would hope the answer is three as otherwise the club would be precluded from picking Finn Emile-Brennan as a Category B rookie if the limit was two per club.

In addition to these six rookie-listed players, each club can include up to three additional players (now referred to as Category B rookies) on its Rookie List provided the player either:

Looks like he does not mind a bit of body contact and has well developed body shape.

Hope he turns out better than our other basket product Aaron Bradtke who looked ok but did not like body contact.

I have a vague recollection that the B Rookie list was reduced from 3 to 2 when the overall list sizes were cut in 2020 due to covid and sal cap reductions.  Could be wrong.

He’s a WA boy so watch out for the go home factor in a couple of year’s time.

Did you know Scott Pendlebury has one?

 

Has he played any football like having a kick in the backyard?

He's from Victoria and has only been in WA for a couple of years.  From the article:

"Another benefit for Farris-White, who will be moving across the country in the coming weeks, is the fact he grew up locally."

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
