I detect a good sense of humour in his mum. See the Bistro sign on the kitchen window.

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.

Mansfield 39.14.248 Tatura 0.1.1. Tat led by a point at one stage and sort of fell away after that.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
