That was my post on BF. A friend of mine down Melbourne was watching his young fella go up against Marley and he text me straight after the game saying the kid is a genuine freak. Kicked 6 g

Both Riak and Mentha have at least had one nomination to attend the state combine draft. I actually wouldn't be surprised if that was the Dees nominating both lads. Riak Andrew would add further

The umpiring in the game is putrid. If the Dragons defenders touch a player in the defensive 50 it is an automatic free kick.

Don't mind the look of Andrews.

Good goal from Ah-Mu. 3 for him now and 3 for Hynes.

app has ah-mu as the leading goalkicker with 3 for stingrays in a 6 point win, and hynes 2 goals 2

langford another dominant game i presume, judging from the stats?

Got a decent game here. Tauru looking really, really good overhead.

I couldn't watch it today. Can you both give a quick run down how the NGA players went?

Interesting. I missed the first quarter where it said Hynes had 2. He then kicked the first goal of the last quarter. Since I didn't see the first quarter, I can't confirm.

Riak did quite well 1v1, his defensive positioning is still a little rusty, but he's clean at ground level and a neat kick. He was solid.

Ah-Mu is just a big boy, but I like his tackling intent, he's a good mark and he's a good kick. Kicked a ripper that ended up being the winning goal. I do worry about his pace at AFL level, but maybe he's not much slower than a McLean from Sydney.

The way he judges the ball in the air and leaps is pretty rare for a young tall.

Yeah I did say a while back Ah-Mu would need to strip a lot of puppy fat once he gets into the AFL system.

Thanks for the update mate.

Couldn’t add much more to what Adam’s said, but Mentha was pretty quiet and one of our other future NGA kids, Prasad kicked a goal for Dandy but was quiet outside of that.

Riak matched up on Tauru for a lot of the 2nd half (including ruck contests inside Gippsland 50), and it was a fun watch. At times they were playing kick to kick with each other though (I’ll blame the wind).

Mentha copped a knee injury in the first quarter and pretty sure didn't return to the game after that unless I'm mistaken.

Ah, I didn't realise he was an underager, but that makes sense given there's no talk about him in the 2024 crop. Derps. 🤦

Moves a lot like his bro last year. Classy, clean, makes good decisions. Surely will be top 10 next year, unless it's the greatest class of all time or something happens injury wise.

@ChaserJ is there a website or resource that shows who is part of our NGA? I haven't been able to find anything doing a search online.

Sorry mate, haven’t been able to find anything that’s centralised that info either.

ACL bad or more of a knock?

Slowly hobbled off without assistance but escorted by a trainer nearby. Didn't see the incident itself unfortunately so not sure on what mechanism caused it. Near the end of the first quarter from memory if it's available on replay. From the way he was walking I would be surprised if it's serious but stranger innocuous things have happened.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
