can’t we just coach our way out of this problem?  
 

Play with the play book before you play with the personnel 

they’re not elite disposers of the ball, but they’re not awful and they have been  instructed to kick it quickly to a contest.

 

Don't agree. Near impossible to go from average to elite kick

How much better would we look with someone like a Whitfield in our mid mix? Now they aren't a dime a dozen!

    Which one is an elite kick going i50?

    I'll give you the answer: none

    We need a quick, mostly outside or out/in mid with elite vision and disposal going i50

    McKercher or Sanders look most likely. Hopefully one is available with our first call out, pretty please

    Run and class

    Best chance for McKercher is if North go for Sanders early or we trade up.

    Sanders isn’t the distributer by foot that you’re describing in your post. He’s neat when in space, but not elite by foot. If had that hurt factor with his kick, he probably would have been sitting in the top 3 or 4 in the pool.

    Next generation of KPBs coming through?

    Orlando Turner and Riak Andrews are rookie possibilities. More so Orlando than Riak brother of Mac. Orlando is a small and Riak is 190/192.

    I love how McKercher tries to make something happen with each of his disposals. And my god he loves to run.

    Something we're severely lacking big time.

    I've loved him all along but accepted pretty early that we wouldn't have access to him.

    He's not far behind Harley Reid imo.

    Since the championships I've heard nothing in regards to Olando Turner. There's no vision or barely any write up.

    I do know he's been all over the country playing this year but.

    I think our only chance of getting Mckercher is if North want Sanders and are happy to trade back to get him. 
    I wouldn’t rule it out as he seems a better prospect than Humphrey and we offered 3 first round for him last year. Two of which are currently pick 5&13.

     
    Big issue with making a similar move for Mckercher might be the Tassie factor. If we trade up and pay overs to get him we are unlikely to get back what we invested should he return to Tas.

    He is a similar type to Moniz-Wakefield who I reckon might even take Chandler's spot in the team going forward.

    Have to keep Sanders in our mindset. Elite skills. Elite runner. Loves a goal. Has future star stamped on him. I’d be grabbing him if available   

    Imv he plays like Jason Horne-Francis 

    AFL Website bio

    Another top prospect who sat out the Combine, Sanders did not test due to a hip issue. It will have no impact on his draft placing, having shown throughout the whole year his incredible consistency and production as a midfielder in the group. Sanders capped his season with 25 disposals and four clearances in Sandringham's Grand Final win over the Eastern Ranges, when he had some key moments as he always does. Sanders averaged 31 disposals at that level to go with his Larke Medal in the under-18 carnival in a complete campaign.

    Would personally rather him over Curtin or Windsor with pick 6 - has 200+ gamer written all over him 

    Would love Windsor to slide to 11 in that scenario but doesn’t seem likely unfortunately

    If they're any good the AFL will 100% come up with a package to get them to kick start the Tasmanian team. Special "marketing" salary cap bonus.

    It's pretty rare to have such high quality in the draft from Tamania. They'll be in the perfect age range. It's an irresistible prospect for the AFL.


    Yeah, can’t remember too many in recent-ish years. Chayce Jones? Jesse Lonergan? Jackson Thurlow? Kade & Jake Kolodjashnij?

    Mitch Robinson??

    x1 in fact.

    That’s going back a long way in any case.

    Only 3 years before Mitch Robinson 😉

    How about Toby Nankervis, Mihocek, BBB, Jeremy Howe, Jimmy Webster, Liam Jones, Aaron Hall, Lachine Weller, Tarryn Thomas or Alex Pearce?

    Will have he best career of this draft crop. Not necessarily the highest peak performance, but best overall career. Couldn't be more rounded as a midfielder and leader very impressive youngster and I hope he winds up in red and blue.

    • 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.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
