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

Love it..

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

Harrison Oliver is a Melbourne supporter....up to 1st on my rankings now

We should draft him so we have Harry and Clarry Oliver on the list.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
