    Yep Clang looks older than he is. Absolute ripper who likes to run hard from defence to create options.

    Looks like a good old fashion fullback who loves the hard stuff.

    I'm not sure where DS is getting a lack of pace from with Jagga Smith, nor where others are seeing FOS as a good ball user. I don't get FOS though, so each to their own I guess.

    Pretty sure that is Robert Harvey with heavy plastic surgery, in a final ploy to crack 400 games.

    Jagga must work part time at Fritsch Electrical

    If we draft Jagga, lure Keath out of retirement and employ Jones and Watts as assistant coaches, we'd almost have the original  band back together.    

    Does this mean we have to get Paul Kelly as midfield coach?

    I see Deakin Pereira who trialled with us a few years ago but accepted a US basketball scholarship is back playing basket ball in the Melbourne Basketball Leauge.

    Not a skinny kid anymore. Stacked the muscle on.

    I'm hoping we can pick up Clancy with our third pick, if we do end up taking one. He is rated around the top 50 mark in the HS. But I feel he could be a really good player in time and with a couple of years of development he could be ready to take over May's position. An All Australian CHB in the under 18's, he would be a steal at pick 50+. 

    Here's what the HS said about him:

    Clancy Dennis
     
    Clancy Dennis
    DEFENDER
    The All-Australian centre-half-back from the national championships can get the job done down back in multiple ways.

    Club Claremont/Mosman Park

    State WA

    Height 195cm

    DOB 28/12/2006

     
    1 on 1 Defending
     
    Intercepting
     
    Overhead Marking
     
    Mobility
     

    A promising tall defender who can contain dangerous key forwards, Dennis was named at centre-half back in the All-Australian team after a strong under-18 national championships campaign for Western Australia in the middle of the year. He finished as the tournament’s No.1 player for intercept marks, averaging 2.3 a game along with 11.3 disposals and 2.3 spoils. Dennis was his state’s best player in its final match against Vic Country, recording 14 disposals, five marks (four intercepts) and two spoils that day. He is an ultra-competitive type who is rarely beaten one-on-one and has good composure with ball in hand. Dennis played a key role in helping Claremont’s Colts side secure the premiership in the WAFL in September, logging 14 disposals, 10 intercept possessions and five spoils in the Grand Final victory over Swan Districts. However, he sat out testing at the draft combine in October due to a sore foot which he sustained during that Grand Final. 

    2024 WAFL Colts83 ranking points, 15.9 disposals, 6.2 marks, 1.4 intercept marks, 4.4 rebound 50s, 3.4 spoils, 1.0 tackles (10 games) 2024 National Champs68 ranking points, 11.3 disposals, 5.3 marks, 2.3 intercept marks, 3.5 rebound 50s, 2.3 spoils, 1.5 tackles (4 games)

    @58er”Would love to give JT a free throw at the stumps in a Round 4,5 or 6 for a genuine diamond in the rough!! “

    I agree. With picks being used in all the father son and academies picks, we might see the last round being again around 60-65.  That’s where I’d like to see the Dees give an opportunity to at least one more youngster (as well as to 5&9).  There’s talent right through this draft. Here’s 10 late draft pick options 

    Will Hayes. Mid. Claremont.
    Gabriel Stumpf  CHF . Northern
    Patrick Retschko. Hbf/mid. Oakleigh 
    Oliver Depaoli-Kubank. Running mid. Tassie.
    Noah Mraz. CHB. Dandenong.
    Luke Kennedy . Mid. Sandringham
    Cody Angove. Running mid. WA Claremont
    Kade Herbert. Mid/hff. SA WWT eagles 
    Oliver Warburton. Hbf. Murray
    Jett Hasting. Hbf. SA WWT eagles

    mraz would be interesting

    Nothing too concrete to come out of that but few little tid-bits.

    - Dees have a level of interest in Tauru (as do most in the top 10) and also Armstrong

    - Cal believes our pick 5 will most likely come from the midfield group of Lalor, O'Sullivan, Draper, Langford and Smith.

    - Adelaide pick 4 likely to be chosen from Draper and Langford with both also in the mix for Carltons pick

    - Pick 9 Cal named Travaglia and Allan "among others" in that range for our pick.

    - Armstrong may get some interest from tigers at pick 6 but also Saints at 7 & 8.

    - Travaglia is a wanted commodity among clubs in the 8 - 14 range.

    - North still looking for trading partners for pick 2 but seems unlikely at this stage. Cal says North continues to be linked to Tauru but questioned whether it's too early for him at this point and they may go a mid. Sounded more opinion than mail there.

    - 6 certainties for the top 10: Lalor, Aschroft, O'Sullivan, Langford, Draper, Smith

    - likely for top 10: Smillie and Tauru

    - possibles for top 10: Lombard, Kako, Reid, Allan, Travaglia

    Other thing he said that caught my attention was that the thinking is that Richmond will take midfielders with their first two picks and go for talls later. Could mean one of Tauru or Armstrong gets to pick 9 if North don’t grab one at 2

    Interesting that Armstrong wasn't in Cal's 13 top 10 possibles.

    Noticed that too, could be just him forgetting to list him as he previously mentioned clubs are considering him inside 10.

    @Whispering_Jack  thanks. It’s consistent with most of our rankings.  Allan at 9 is interesting.  Definitely getting seen now as top 10 and within Dees each at pick “9”.  
    The only one change for me is they have  Reid at 5th ranking.  I have him 14-15th ranked.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
