Seems to have a bit of 'Air' Jordon hang time. He jumps, look where his opponents are, then team mates, marks the ball, checks wind direction, seeks out the best grass, then lands. Impressive. 

OK, just wanted to be the first to make unreal observations and expectations of him before he is completely shredded here after round one. 😉

    Did he play footy for Xavier?  Or am I missing something?

    1st XVIII Vice Captain at Xavier. Played predominantly as a Full-Forward and as a CHF. Good moving. Solidly built, hard to defend given his size. Played up in the country when APS Football was on break.

    Welcome to the mighty Dees Oliver Seston a real surprise packet from JT this one, just shows that players can still fall between the cracks leading up to AFL. Glad that you fell our way a great story, who kicks 24 goals?? 186cm power forward if you are good enough could fill a niche role for us but will enjoy watching your exploits at Casey in any case.  Good luck.!!!

    Got a touch of Allen Jakovich about him.

    Exactly my thought and why I’m WRAPPED with this pick!!!

    Dees only club who showed real interest after he was a top-up player in tune up session for top draft talent — Taylor is a master. They loved the drive in his legs and skills below his feet then when saw highlights they were apparently that excited they couldn’t contain themselves. Planned to have him train in preseason but took him instead in RD to show faith. One to watch 100% highlights look sensational — literally a JAKO clone bit of Cuthbertson maybe too

    He looks a bit like an old mate of mine Mick Clinton from Bonbeach who trained with the the Dees 1980 but hated Slug Jordan so didn't continue.

    Medium sized, good leap and pack mark, thinning hair line

    The other clubs need two scouts at every session; one to watch the prospects and one to watch whoever JT is watching

    24 goals is some bragging rights.

    Didnt frittas brother kick 20?

    I wonder what kind of athletic testing they’ve got on him. Xavier might be doing their own these days, because that would probably be my biggest worry.

    If you can’t run you can’t play, no matter how good you are. 

    Either way I’m excited that we took a chance on a high upside smokie. Obviously  I’m not expecting the same instant returns but you see Essendon getting someone like Nic Martin and Jai Newcombe at the Hawks and it shows there’s good players out there coming from different pathways.

    Sounds like a DD special he was worried that our Cat B's would deny chances too

    Not sure on these 2 picks don't know much about them. Whatever Taylor picks I'm happy with he's proven himself over the years.

     

    Casey

    B: Adams, Turner, J.Smith

    HB: Rivers, Tomlinson, McVee

    C: Howes, Dunstan, Woewodin

    HF: Chandler, van Rooyen, Melksham

    F: Moniz-Wakefield, Schache, Jefferson

    FOLL: Verrell, Jordon, Laurie

    IC: D.Smith, Sestan, Farris-White, N\A

    We still have 1 spot left for the train ons. Wonder if Emile-Brennan will be one of those?

    Bags of  9, 4, 8, 24, 3, 5.  That is really impressive!  Be exciting one to watch. Just a hunch watching the highlights.... he will be playing senior footy this year. Casey games we are going to have lot of players to track.  We got a lot of talent developing, exciting times!

    Maybe the MFC had hidden the boy from the public and not asked him to the draft combine so no recruiter noticed him but Cal Twomey said he when head to head with NM recruit George Wardlaw recently and gave him a touchup?

    That is promising ...

    We must get Gary Lyon - a local in the GValley with contacts - to give us some inside info on this lad.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
