I mentioned Hannaford a little while back if we wanted to grab a small fwd later on. Guessing his form is lifting him up the rankings now and recruiters will be reviewing his tapes after kicking 6 against the Falcons. He’s on a tear at the moment, but has been good all season after starting the season in defence. 

The switch forward has seen him become a crucial cog in GWV’s run to the prelim, he’s really good one on one, has pace and is super competitive. Plays with real spark and one to watch come draft time.

    Reminds me of Dylan Moore or Gryan Miers type. Good burst of pace.   Competitive.  Smart around goals.  Clubs could see him as a late draft pick or rookie.  Certainly his game v Falcons was very special and a key reason for the Rebels win.

    with the premium on small forwards quite clear with the way football is being played currently, how high will he rise?

    Hannaford might end up at West Coast.  He'd make the Eagles rock.  sorry

    After everything you have said over the years, I can’t believe that we finally discovered a point at which you feel shame.

    Just imagine if he retired then changed his mind.  He could come back again.  double sorry

    Jagga Smith is likely to be the number 1 now.  Was a standout today v Rebels.  He’s only knock is size but guys like Sam Walsh show that movement and gut running makes up for that.

    Would his brother be worth nabbing around that mark Adam?

    Jack appears more developed to me. But I would have thought it's likely both Whitlock's go in the top 30.

    Thanks for Hannaford video Chaser J and yes based on that game he will definitely be drafted.

    And given the rise of HokBall - he should be very much in JT's thinking.

    He was a lot quieter today in the PF, but will be well worth a watch next week along with Jonty Faull in the GF.

    I hope we are looking at Shanahan.  I think we will need another pick in the early teens to grab him

    Need to give JT at least 4 or 5 picks in this draft.  There is deep talent this year.  But we might only have 3 if we keep retaining the current list !!!

    So true - but we really need to secure a couple more picks in the top 25. Assuming we get one from Adelaide from ANB, we need to be creative to get another from somewhere so we have 3 in that group of 25.

    The differences are an indicator to both the evenness in the group and what the individual authors/sources place higher value on.

    Good to see some difference in opinion with some clear rationale on why they rate players a certain way.

    Sam Lalor… youngster from Bacchus Marsh, attending at Geelong Grammar.  

    We have to remind ourselves what a future star he will be.  Plays like ? … Dustin Martin. Huge call. 

    It’s a shame that’s he’s not going to be available in this week Grand Final for the Rebels v Sandy Dragons.

    Really surprised that Luke Kennedy isn’t spoken about more as a bargain draft pick. Plays like Andrew Brayshaw.  Can win it close. Can run and spread.  Tackles.  Smart user of the footy. Has really showed his ability in last few games with 30+ possession games and impact. He’s alongside a star studded Dragons midfield but definitely holds his own. 

    Starred again v Stingrays alongside Reid and Ashcroft     Absolutely going a bargain pick in the draft.  Watch him in the GF.

    Calling @Demonstone:

    What sort of promise does Hollow show?

    Might just be me but I don't see it with Langford

    Langford playing style is Bont like.  He is good overhead.  Creative handball.  Long left foot kick. Can kick a nice goal.  He is good at contested footy and in the tackle.  Though I watched him in the last games v power and v dragons and strangely he only had one tackle.  He seemed slow across more mobile mids which was strange.  Still he’s definitely top 5 imv.

    I see Hamish Davis had a solid outing @Pennant St Dee

    @Pennant St Dee @dazzledavey36

    Hamish Davis was Best on Ground in the Colts GF for Claremont.  I’m trying to get some vision. Obviously he’s rising up draft lists. I had him ranked about 28 (live pick “24”). Feels about right.

    Davis really dominated in the second half after a quiet first half. Swans mids just couldn’t go with him, endurance beast just kept getting involved in transition chains and winning clearances. Had 11 possessions in the last quarter 

    Boxshall was dominant up to 3 quarter time. Won the hard ball and clean disposal by hand in close and won plenty of clearances. Riddle broke even with smith in the hit outs but prominent around the ground with intercept marks and also won plenty of clearances.

    Ravenhill was probably the best big man on the ground playing the forward ruck role. Presented high up the ground as hit up option and delivery inside 50 by foot was good. Kicked 3 and created a few for teammates 

    Will Hayes really good run off a wing. Clean groundball gets, great lateral movement and disposal was very good.

    Blake Kelly probably Swans best played on ball, super clean and quick hands and really composed in close

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
