    They must know a demon supporter as that is an 'old style' scarf; not sure how long ago it was around.  Its my fave and the one I wear despite the many 'member' scarves I have received.

    Also quite possible she is a demons supporter. Would make that moment all the more special.

    Great to see such a ‘big boned’ player get  a list spot. Maybe there’s hope for me yet!

    Fat chance!

    Rookie picks are a long shot. So astute selection in picking any kid who can slot 24 goals. That is no easy feat irrespective of the opposition. Plenty of kids playing country leagues with enough talent to mix with it with the silver spooners who get opportunities handed to them on a platter.

    I don't disagree with your statement in the broader sense @ThreeOneSix, but I think Ses was a Xavier boy.

    24 goals. Well fed with that silver spoon.

    There must be a story as to why the kid appears to be a relative unknown. A brief read last night on the kid is that he lowered George Wardlaws colours in a kick around. Thats impressive. Only Humpries could’ve did that.

    If Oliver Sestan is a Demon Supporter then he joins James Harmes who did it via the rookie draft.

    I got the feeling JT has selected Oliver as a replacement of Jake Melksham/Alex Neal-Bullen in the long run.

    Early aspirations like this will steer the young 'un to real points of focus in development. If the skills are there - develop these into a very good, consistent player with a 'vision' for own contribution(s).

    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.

    If that is true (deflecting prying eyes so far in advance) that would be the stroke of genius. It worked, despite Sestan's statistics.

    Looks like they might have received a swag bag delivery from the club that most likely included the jumper Oliver is wearing so they could take a photo for the socials and it might have also included that scarf. Or either they or a friend are Dees supporters and they supplied the scarf.

    24 goals in one game. Did he play for the Campbells Creek Magpies?

     

    (bonus point for anybody who gets that joke).

    The great comment from JT was that we don’t expect the draftees to play early, but rather to just develop their games.

    That is just so different to the old Melbourne, where we would say that hopefully draftees would play some games next year.

    It’s always hard to make any opinion off a small highlight reel, but Oliver takes one grab marks and pushes off the ground at the right moment. 
    He could be a fantastic pick in future

    The sort of finer points that JT is so good at discerning.

    I really like what I see. I like what I read. I love this pick. I have very positive vibes. 

    If this kid makes it after being basically picked up a from a training session sign JT up for life.

    Got a touch of Allen Jakovich about him.

    They may well be ethnic compatriots by ancestry, Jakovich's ancestry is Croatian and Sestan is a common surname in Croatia (well a friend of mine shares that surname). Looks like a decent rookie pick, worth a shot 👍

    Is he suggesting here that he’s downgraded his ranking of Melbourne’s drafting efforts because we selected a player with some injury concerns?

    If so, he would have missed out on recruiting Joel Selwood who sustained a serious knee injury during his final year of junior football that caused him to fall to Geelong's first pick at seventh overall in the 2006 AFL draft. 

    Those recruiters who overlooked him missed out on a 355 game player, long time Cats’ skipper, a quadruple premiership player, a six time All Australian (and three-time captain of that team) and a great of the game. 

    What a dill!

    Was that the team that kicked 100 goals in one game?  Castlemaine region?  I'm thinking 1990s.

    The very same. They hold the Guinness World Record for the highest score in an official game of Australian Rules football when they defeated Primrose in 1992. 

    100 - 34 - 634 

    Primrose somehow scored 18 points.   

    I’ve often tried to imagine how that even happened, and what that match must have looked like.

    Oh dear - Tatura sound as gifted as my old touch rugby team "the karaoke koalas" 

    Unlike Tatura I honestly can't recall any game where we held the lead

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
