Early crow but how good is Cooper Duff-Tytler.  Very much in the mode of Luke Jackson. Duff-Tytler is a fantastic young basketballer who happens to also be a star ruckman in AFL. 200cms.  Weight unknown.  Competes in ruck and works as a ruck rover all over the field.  Dees might just have to keep the future 1st round draft pick for 2025 for him.  

We'll have old mate Whitey instead.

    Thanks @Whispering_Jack

    Saw Lucca Grego in the championships and liked his aggressive style and running.  Interesting to see him mentioned again in the TOTW. He attacked footy with competitive edge and won contested footy. Good one grab type of player.  Also noted he had played recently in VFL for Williamstown so must be well rated to get that. He might be a pick in the “50” range that could be a handy pickup.    Dont panic… plays like Zak Jones.

    Looking at one Coates League team with which I have an affinity - the Sandringham Dragons which, in recent years has been a power house in the competition.

    Yesterday, they lined up this way against the Western Jets in their Wild Card game …

    IMG_5732.thumb.jpeg.9655895b28de885e623bbc727916bb37.jpeg

    … and gave them a belting.

    SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS 1.2.8 4.6.30 9.7.61 15.9.99

    WESTERN JETS 2.2.14 2.2.14 3.5.23 3.5.23

    GOALS

    SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS H Armstrong 4 B McKenzie M Reid N Sulzberger 3 L Ashcroft L Kennedy

    WESTERN JETS L Hicks T McGuane K Williams

    BEST 

    SANDRINGHAM DRAGONS N Sulzberger L Ashcroft M Reid H Armstrong L Trainor L Voss.

    WESTERN JETS L Hicks N Asciak D Weeks T Burton R Pavlidis L Grego

    Take it from me that the Dragons will again produce a number of draftees in 2024 including at the pointy end where father/son Levi Ashcroft (30 disposals) is a likely #1 nomination even though the Tigers can’t pick him up. Reid (32 touches) and Trainor also top ten prospects.

    Well if we don’t draft him that might well  be Duff Tytties

    May have been mentioned but Ricky Mentha (our Academy player) made the Round 19 Coates Tean of the week.

    Riak Andrew scouting notes Wild card round 20. 1/9/24. Scouting notes. Could be a chance for a rookie spot.

    #5 Riak Andrew
    Tall Defender | 192cm | 17/02/2005

    Stats: 12 disposals, 7 tackles, 3 rebound 50s

    Having arguably been bested by Jobe Shanahan in their previous two meetings this year, Andrew faced the daunting task once more and kept Bendigo’s spearhead forward goalless for just the second time. The over-ager stuck tight to his direct opponent and was able to nullify his marking influence when Bendigo had the wind advantage. After some tough moments in term two, one of Andrew’s best moments was a rundown tackle late in the piece to exemplify his effort and intent.

    Have clashing commitments otherwise would have been there.

    Lalor may miss again (apparently hamstring complaint kept him out last week) for GWV.

    Trainor may be done for the season with concussion. Marc MacGowan reporting in the Age that he has already missed games previously with concussion so that could be a watch come draft time.

    Lalor expected to miss 8-10 weeks with his hammy.

    Ouch, has had little luck with injury this year. A shame he doesn't get to battle against Smith and O'Sullivan on Sunday, but of the other Rebels have really stepped up. 

    On 10/09/2024 at 21:26, whatwhat say what said:

    so there seems to be some doubts on trainor due to repeated concussion incidents?

    Sounds like it: 

    'Trainor’s concussions are a talking point among recruiters ahead of the draft in November, where he and key forward teammate Harry Armstrong are the standout tall players in a midfield-dominated class.'

    Why this Triple All Australian premiership Bulldog wants out of the kennel

    Hmmm with injury concerns over 3 of the top 10 FOS,Trainor and Lalor along with Hotton who was tipped as a top 10 before his ACL I’m more and more inclined to think we should should split pick 5 if we can find a suitable trade. 
     

    Don’t think we would have been interested in Trainor but was hoping North would pick him and leave another mid on the board for us. Seems it might be a bit of a reach now with some concussion stuff.

    No surprise but the AFL have ruled that we have NO access to our Academy member Tairon Ah-Mu in the draft next year.

    Unbelievable …

    NO ACCESS FOR DEES NGA TALENT

    MELBOURNE will not have access to tall forward prospect Tairon Ah-Mu under Next Generation Academy rules when the 17-year-old hits his draft season next year.

    Ah-Mu is a member of the Demons' NGA program but under the AFL's eligibility criteria, he does not qualify for the club to have any priority access over him as a draftee.

    Ah-Mu kicked three goals for the Dandenong Stingrays on Saturday against the Gippsland Power, taking the straight-kicking key forward's tally to 21.5 from 10 games this season.

    Ah-Mu, who has Samoan descent, is 198cm and also has featured for the under-17s futures team as well as playing under Essendon champion Matthew Lloyd at Haileybury College in Melbourne.

    • 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 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?
