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. 😉

A 186cm power forward who looks up to Dustin Martin and Christian Petracca, Sestan had been part of the Oakleigh Chargers NAB League talent program at under-14 and under-15 level.

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

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.

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 ...

Hope it isnt just a case of a mature body in an under age comp?

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

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
