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.

Hello!

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.

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
