    Why not, you have 4 NGA academy's that have priority access to every player in their respective states.  They actually speed a lot of time developing the kids in an elite environment.

    Because the side last year was elite even without the academy players. The Tassie boys last year were exceptional with two A graders for that level. Jed Walter’s is not the sort of player who comes along often that’s why I said it

    Thanks, I think they will still be strong and continue to be strong on the back of the northern state NGAs.

    Love that White is named, and kind of love that Mentha hasn't been?

    He wasn’t on the field for the first half. St least I couldn’t see him! I didn’t watch the 3rd but seems like he came on.

    He’s a player.  Will debut early next year.  Another GC17 Gift from the AFL.  Suns get yearly ACADEMY PICKS and also NGA Darwin picks.  Huge bonus especially as Academy can be automatically matched by the Duns.

    I reckon he is. Just saw him make a spoil but not sure he was 42

    Spirit, thanks for the info. It just feels so wrong.

    Stat sheets has White with 6 possessions and no hit outs. Isn’t he meant to be ruck? Regardless, and underwhelming result

    Good exposure playing as a bottom ager in the national championships.   Well done to the kid, obviously going to be a hot prospect.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
