Looks well developed in the photo above, have we pulled a shifty here?

A smoky from Mansfield. Powerful mid-sized forward with great goal sense who has to date, only played football at school and junior level.

Not from Mansfield. Played at Mansfield for a few games. From the city. Solid kid. Very well-built.

Might’ve fallen through the cracks at the Bushrangers/Chargers and missed by both? Or focussed on studies or other sports?

The NAB league teams do a good job with limited budgets but they can’t find or attract everyone. Guys fall through the cracks. 

Cricket apparently, so didn’t elect to go through NAB League pathway.

 

He is built like a bull similar to Clayton Oliver or Christian Petracca and has a great kicking depth, he may turnout to be the steal of the draft.

If the MFC had him playing school footy and some U18 footy in the country to keep out of prying eyes good on them.

I thought it must be typo but no - 24 goals in one game.

Goulburn Valley Football League

Mansfield 39.14.248 defeated Tatura 0.1.1.

Jeepers, they needed a mercy rule in that game.

kicked 24 in one though!

Yes and that still leaves 36 goals in 6 games which is also impressive.

Bit of Geelong or West Coast shenanigans going on here?

Has he given us a D- or F yet in his ratings?

Just checked, he gave us an E 😅

Instantly my 7th favourite Melbourne player I'm getting his badge at bare minimum. 

Edited by Bates Mate


If this turns out well it would bring new meaning to a Taylor hidden gem.

Low risk, high reward.

 

Hidden gem indeed, from those highlights 

he does not juggle a mark , one grab. 
is quick to handball or choose an option.

moves around the ground and gives off to better positions 

we might have pinched one. Will impress at Casey anyway.

Definitely worth a shot. We have a strong list so we can afford to take risks we would not have years ago. Up to him to prove himself with help from our 1st class development team.

Its a well done for being selected.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
