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

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

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

Worst case scenario he'll be a good bodyguard for Jefferson

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?

Check these stats out, BP means best playerimage.thumb.png.f8ae15db89720c864ba68177cfb614af.png

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
