Do you know much about Logan Morris from Vic Metro, he is a friend of one of grandsons and was coached by my son in law in his under16 years and last year at under 18's?

He is a very exciting talent.  A high-leaping key forward with a lot of X-factor and a certainty to be drafted on footballing ability/pertformance.

Samuel Van rooyan? Is he Jacobs brother?

 

Yeah

Younger brother would have copped a fair bit of punishment over the journey from big brother.

Would have to be a competitive beast to survive treatment from JVR.

They have a younger brother Ben, who is the best of the 3

Perhaps by us, we would have a selection around where he could be taken. Thanks for the info.

Jordan Croft looking like a very good key fwd prospect for the Dogs so far for Metro. Kynan Brown busy early.

Live stream of SA v Metro in AFL website now.

Our NGA prospect Orlando Turner is an emergency for the Allies. Hopefully he gets a gig in one of the games.

He played in the first one, did a few good things.

Have you seen Ben play?

I’d love for us to pick Sam VR. Imagine the 2 of them shredding the opposition together

Don’t think he’s playing. Did he play earlier?

Yes when he was about 12, he played up a year as a fill in against my youngest boy and was outstanding. Unfortunately he’s out for the entire season this year with stress fractures in the back

Young guns and father-sons fire at U18 Championships

 

Interesting to see how the two young guns from Tassie in the draft. Both Ryley Sanders and Coby Mckercher are first round quality. Both are exactly the type of players we would love to add to our list.  But clubs may have a rethink given the AFL Tassie push means that in 3-4 years they could just walk to the Tassie team with minimal compensation.

There’s only one game on in the national championships - we see Vic Country play their first game on Sunday and it’s against South Australia who were disappointing last week.

Here are two articles worth reading -

2023 Vic Country Under 18 squad announced

PREVIEW | 2023 AFL U18s: Vic Country vs. South Australia

There are some interesting names in that VC squad including Harley Reid, Zane Duursma, Darcy Wilson, Cooper Simpson and Melbourne NGA prospect Riak Andrew.

The game will be televised live on Foxtel.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
