    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.

    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."

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
