Just wondering about people's thoughts on Jack Bell? Been good recently and could be a smokey for the mid season draft considering Collingwood is crying out for a ruckman. They could do a lot worse.

    I think he is showing improvement….maybe a rookie ?      Ferris- White , where is he currently playing ?

    would like to see Shache ruck for the whole last quarter

    He played well. Might be a chance again in AFL…could replace a couple .Brown and TMac .

    Sestan’s size and body shape remind me a lot of Allen Jakovich.  If he turns out to be half as good at football, it will be another recruiting master stroke by Jason Taylor.

    Agreed... hanging out to watch him live.

    Game's obviously changed a fair bit from back then DOF.  Alot less space to lead into.  So much defensive running going on now.

    Jakovich was pretty quick over the first 10 - 20 meters also if my memory serves me well. 

    May take a season or two to build a tank but there's certainly something there.  Time will tell where that something goes eh.

    Like you, I see Sestan as very low risk, potentially very high ceiling.  Trust in JT.

    Developing quite rapidly W, particularly from 2nd half of last season onwards from what im seeing.

    His game at the hanger on Sunday, more so his second half, was outstanding for mine and along with Harmes i felt he was the difference on the day.  Laurie & Dunstan also impacted.

    Im assuming you saw this one anyway but just my view.

    Would say he's not that far away (as in another pre-season or so to build up the extra strength/running) but could also push up to the AFL now for short stints off the bench in the odd game here & there as long as he wasn't being asked to play every game for half a season or so.

    Similarities to McInerney IMHO.

    The cliché that big men take time to develop could apply. Saints had him listed as a rookie a few seasons back. So his opportunities and progress may have been stifled by Covid-19. Didn't get the opportunity to play in Casey's premiership team last season with Sam Weideman being preferred. Best all round performance I can recall for Casey from Jack. Not satisfied with just being a tap ruckman, his game is showing definite signs of becoming more rounded. With his clearance work from the centre bounce, boundary throw-ins and ball ups a highlight in this game. Plus he reads the flight of the ball and positions himself well around the ground to assist his team mates, commencing or participating in chains of possession. Kicking that last goal of the match for Casey was the 'cherry on top'. If Jack can maintain this form he will certainly be on the recruitment radar.

    Great to see Marty right up there. 

    Really rated him as a decent medium tall prospect down back provided he could clean up his decision making / disposal.

    Not sure we persevered enough but anyways.

    Disco not that dissimilar?

    i'd prefer to see turnrovers per disposal rather than just straight turnovers

    higher possession players are going to have higher turnovers in general

    Yes true DC.  Can be done as a percentage i guess.

    The other cheap way of doing it is to categorise into rough positions and only compare like with like.

    Obviously it is unfair to compare a Bowey to say Clarry, Tracc or Viney in the turnover stakes.

    However his turnover count is def more relative to May's, Lever's, Rivers', Hibb's etc.

    Having said that.... you can't get much lower than 4th lowest!  Albeit it's only based on two matches so far.  Probably need at least 5 to 6 to be a bit more robust as a guide.

    Deak Smith shut down Walla and used the ball better this week.

    Thanks for the info. Any idea if they are trying to develop Deak to be a lock-down defender? Was drafted as more of an outside mid, from memory.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
