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

little paper sais that the talent coming out of wa this year is threadbare: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/draft-wipeout-fears-talent-pathways-wont-cater-for-19-clubs-as-wa-could-prove-canary-in-coal-mine/news-story/73764be1b4e8b785efebf126e7444cfb

Western Australia is bracing for its worst ever national draft as fears escalate that the country’s talent pathways will not be capable of producing enough elite players for 19 AFL clubs.

Several clubs say there is currently not a single West Australian they would select while Tasmania struggles to consistently develop AFL talent. WA typically produces about 16 per cent of the draft pool and had 14 players selected last year.

But that is set for a dramatic fall in a year where Fremantle holds three first-round selections and West Coast is likely to have a top-four pick.

“There’s not enough draftable players for 19 clubs,” one recruiting expert said.

“I don’t think there will be a West Australian legitimately drafted this year – that’s how bad WA is at the moment. It’s the worst year for talent they’ve ever seen.

“There’s not enough kids for 18 clubs at the moment. Some of that could be because kids never got the games into them during Covid. But WA didn’t have lockdown like Victoria did.”

Cant wait to raid Freo's talent in a few years time. Assuming they use all their pics on Vic talent.

Vic Metro squad has been released

2024 Vic Metro U18 Boys squad announced - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1119993

Yze not selected

Which is not a surprise at all. He's form isn't at level where I'm sure he'd like it to be.

I do know he was told by the club at the end of last year that he's not guaranteed a spot on the list at all unless he improves the fundamentals of what the club has mapped out for him.

Wouldn't be surprised if we do overlook him if he doesn't improve his form.

Not for this draft but evidently (according to BF) Aaron Davey's son is dominating school football in Melbourne.

I think he is around 14 years old. No doubt the club is monitoring and supporting. I think that is why the AFL is seeing more FS's. Clubs are identifying early and putting more time and resources in.

Attention Administrators : next interview with Jason Taylor can we please get an update on FS's.

That's exciting. I figured since Alwyn's son was already drafted, that Aaron's kids hadn't made it.

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 goals playing as a half forward midfield.

A lot of development still to go but the signs are good so far.

Hayden Young would be the one I’d love to pinch back, but he looks pretty settled at Freo.

I have heard whispers a few clubs including us may be keen on Hamish Davis with a late pick (3rd/4th round).

Played as (medium size) key forward last season at PSA and WAFL, however been playing HHF, wing and inside midfield roles this year. Good tank, decent size for that fwd/mid role and can impact the scoreboard. Plenty of development there and has the right attitude

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Last weeks Coates League player of the week was Gippsland Power captain Xavier Lindsay.  Had 32 disposals in the midfield, with high efficiency, using his left foot deadly disposal.  He had the good mix of skill, smarts and athletic ability.  Lock him in as a future star.

The 2024 National Championships get underway this Sunday, with AFL scouts and recruiters set to get an indication of this year's top bracket of talent.

AFL Draft: 56 prospects to watch at this year's National Championships

Thanks W_J hopefully we will be in a position to pick up some of this excellent talent this year. I think that we need to clear a few list spots at years end.!!

Crows and Blues definitely would be happy.
Tyler Welsh is almost ready to go for 2025.  
Camporeale brothers will be drafted early and matched by the blues.

JT. MEMO. URGENT

GET DEES SOME MIDFIELD TALENT.  THREE URGENTLY NEEDED TO REFRESH AND REBUILD

Mids in the draft

Finn O'Sullivan - Goes pick 1-2 

Levi Ashcroft - Bris father son 

Jagga Smith - Goes pick 3-4

Josh Smilie- goes probably pick 3-4 

Tom Gross - maybe pick 6-7

who could be within our range ? 
Pick 8-10 

Christian Moraes - Eastern ⭐️
Sid Draper- sth Adelaide

Pick 11-14

Zak Johnson - Northern ⭐️
Taj Hotton - Sandringham
Xavier Lindsay - Gippsland ⭐️
Sam Lalor - GWV 

Pick 17-18

Kade Herbert - SA Eagles

Harvey Langford - Dandenong ⭐️

that’s 9 likely mids that on current draft range, could be within our draft fishing net.  We need one of these. I have starred a few preferences
 

Then somehow trade second and third round picks OR a future first 2025 draft pick TO get another 2024 first rounder.  LIONS would be interested as they need points not picks.  

OR find a gem in the second round or third round- like how others picked Chad Warner or Rory Sloane type who goes under the radar.  From the oakleigh v eastern game in April , Zane Cochrane  or Patrick Retschko ⭐️(oakleigh) are two such players, as well as Cody Anderson (Eastern) 
 

Three mids please JT.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
