hard to read into that team. Finn emile-brennan made it last year and didn't get a look in and many players have made it or even All aus and not been drafted

The reigning premiers, the Sandringham Dragons, take on the Eastern Ranges in the Coates Talent League grand final at Ikon Park on Sunday at 11.15am. 

Players to look out for in the Dragons lineup are midfielder Ryley Sanders, key defender Ollie Murphy and rebounding halfback Archie Roberts - all are potential draft first rounders. Likewise with Ranges’ small forward Nick Watson and outside midfielder Caleb Windsor.

The Dragons’ midfielder Charlie Edwards is considered a late bolter for draft selection - ONLINE: 10 PLAYERS TO WATCH IN GRAND FINAL

The Wizard opened proceedings In the second half with a goal from a free and then the Ranges goaled again and got to within a couple of points. But then the Dragons took over with Sanders and Lord in the midfield and captain Brown up forward and they kicked the last four goals of the term to lead at 3/4 time by 26 points.

Sandy are poised to go back to back and yes, I’m sold on Sanders. He’s cool, talented, can mark and kicks accurately.

Ranges come back with a goal from the brilliant Tyson Sruk, a midfielder. In reply, Sanders gets the ball out to an underage teammate Murphy Reid who boots the first of two in a minute. Sandy back in control with a lead of 27 points.

For the Dragons:

Sanders showed so much class. How was Ryley Sanders run and carry out of the middle in the last. Two bounces. Handballs to Murphy Reid.  Goal. Sanders would be a great addition.  Top 5-6 draftee for sure. 

Will Brown. The skipper of the Dragons. Not sure of his aerobic ability but definitely a smart player. Goal goal sense. 

Just like Archie Roberts as well. He should be on JTs list. Skills like a lot of left footers.  Lovely goal to finish a very good day.  

Harvey Johnston looked smart and evasive.

Charlie Edwards. Quieter than recent but strong runner and likes to burst clear. Still 25-35 pick for me

For the Ranges: 

Nick Watson - quieter today but his ability to win the footy around the contest was clear.  Not sure he’s what the Dees need right now but he’s a talented youngster.

Caleb Windsor - pace and run and footy skills.  Another good day.  Love his defensive work as well and was rewarded with two frees from tackles.  Definitely think he’s in our thoughts if we end up keeping our existing 1st round “13” (ends up 16-17) pick. 

Tyson Sruk (rover) was outstanding today as he ran and ran all day against the talented Dragons Mids. 30+ possessions and willed the ranges into attack countless times.  Small mid and perhaps might end up a rookie chance somewhere.

How did Christian Moraes go? Kid looks a star and potential top 5 pick next year.

24 touches and a goal. Was good, agree that he should go high next year.

Agree.

Levi Ashcroft also will be a gift for the Lions. As an underage player, he is seriously good. He’s as good as his brother.

    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. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
