    Anyone keen to watch some VAFA footy and report back on Kye? Bonus points for any Austin Bradtke progress reports:

    https://www.vafa.com.au/vafa-tv/prem-b-gf-uni-blacks-v-old-haileybury/

    Early report is I can't believe they played the B grade granny on that swamp of a ground. That's disgraceful.

    With may and Tomlinson being 30 and 29 respectively, happy the club has added to its depth with Jed and is looking at another. If young keys are decent but end up surplus to needs they’re at least a very tradable commodity

    It's called development.

    Looking forward to him playing 8th string backup to Kye Declase

    I skimmed through his VFL debut v Port.

    He played back pocket, took his share of rotations off and at this stage I’d say he’s a tall flanker more than a key position player. Lean and long arms and looks an easy mover who wasn’t troubled for leg speed at VFL level. 

    Some observations:

    Q1: 12:10 1st, lovely easy run from deep back pocket to link up and nail an inside 50 kick

    Q2: 5:12 easy elevation for intercept mark and hits his target with a quick short kick

    27:56 kickout to 65

    28:40 drops a kickout to a lead at 50

    Q3: 1:10 weights a kick to the corridor 

    3:50 reads it nicely for easy intercept 

    16:01 nice strong spoil deep down back

    23:01 long kickout!

    Q4 30:26 nice spoil with the game 22 points the difference, follows up to receive a handball and kicks long and wide  with a safe clearing kick 

    31:30 not as great some of his efforts to secure a loose ball

    Then the game ends on a shoddy too high free kick, with Frankston giving up a 61-16 lead 

    Not a perfectly fluent kicking action but not terrible. Kicks around it like a soccer player and certainly has distance. Interesting they trusted him on debut with kick outs 

    Looks a very natural runner. Solid overhead with a leap so there’s more to work with there. Seems to track an opponent and the ball fairly well. Probably found the pace of the game quick with the ball bouncing around the deck, but on debut that’s not a surprise.

    We all know that not all “he will be a gun” players succeed - Kye may offer yet another option, or as mentioned above, a surplus who we may offer for  trade. 
    Just wondering though, just because he is training with us at this stage, does it in any way tie him to us or us to him?

    Should at least be fitter after a preseason.

    No I don't believe so.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
