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.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
