Yes but that’s pure hyperbole, there are some rumblings here with regards to talent development needing an overhaul which it does desperately and there are some powerful footy people who want to end t

Where is Murphy Reid expected to go? Having a pretty impressive champs it seems

He’s met 17 clubs; been told by one if they have pick 12 they’ll take him.

 

great kid, having a fabulous year, would be a great get for us. Elite “time” a bit Pendlebury like

Has gone from a 15-20 range player to busting into the 10 on the back of his Championship form.

Harry Armstrong caught the eye too, this year’s Metro v Country clash should be another ripper.

That's strangely specific, if they have pick 11 or 13 are they not going to take him?

Edit: Apologies in advance for my smart [censored] comment

I think thought was 12 was high for him. But he’s rising. Only meeting not done is Tigers and he’s a mad Tigers fan, but Yze watches every game of school footy as Noah in same team.

Anybody got a good link to watch replays of the champs? My Foxtel box isn’t recording at the min. Have tried it from the AFL app but it keeps saying the stream is over 2 mins in. Not up on YouTube yet either. 
Im not exactly a wiz with technology but it seems harder than it should be.

Thanks Chaser- I was trying ( with little success) to stream it through my phone onto TV via that page. I’ll try it with the laptop tonight.

SA is now finished. Wrap up as … 

Father sons- Tyler Welsh (Crows), Ben Camporeale, Lucas Camporeale (blues) 

Port Adelaide NGA products – Benny Barrett from South Adelaide and North Adelaide’s Louie Montgomery. Both could go top 40 or be available for Port

⭐️Sid Draper - star midfielder.  Captain and top 5 draft pick 

👏Kade Herbert - impressed in 2023 as an underager.  Showed this year he is strong in the contest and can also play outside with good delivery and run in his legs. Some draft posters see him as a 35-45 pick. I’d have him around 24th/25th pick.  

✅ Phoenix Hargrave - mid/half forward. Likely top 35-40 pick  

✅ Charlie Nicholls - 197cm key forward . Excellent mark   Likely pick 45-50  

✅Ned Bowman - half fwd skilled creative goalkicker. Likely late draft pick, perhaps 50-55.

✅Jett Hasting - SA mid/half back runner SA-eagles - likely late pick or rookie. I like his run and dash and style   Type of player that has AFL qualities in my view (like McVee from 2021)

Melbourne NGA prospect Ricky Mentha lining up for the Allies in today's game against vic country.

Riak Andrew, brother of Mac and former Melbourne NGA players is playing for vic country as an overage player. Fairly certain we don't have any rights to him anymore given we passed over him last year but will stand to be corrected there.

This draft is very strong and I’d like to see the Dees find room for 4 or even perhaps 5 draft picks this year. 
                                   …

@Whispering_Jack Langford is definitely a player that would be on JTs list.  There is a lot of quality midfielders going down to picks in the second round and even early third round. I’ll look to do a top 50 by next weekend.  

I’d even by open to trade our 2025 1st round to get another 2024 first round pick. I’d call the GC suns to discuss.

WA wrap up 

A weaker WA under 18 squad this year. I think only 3-4 youngsters will get drafted in the main draft , perhaps with a few through the rookie draft where identified. 

⭐️Bo Allan. I only saw him in the game v  He just has a footy IQ to get the right space and position. Good skills and size for a midfielder. His energy and transition running will see him strongly considered. Expect him to go pick 19-22 as early 2nd round pick  

👏Luke Urquart. Big blonde bulldozer of a midfielder. Like a Cripps type, he goes into the contest and wins the footy. Skills were okay but let him down on occasion. He should be drafted but likely will be a pick in the 40s.  
 

✅Malakai Champion.  He’s exciting no doubt.  But I was expecting more and he’s not a top 50 player for me.  Late draft or rookie chances. 
 

✅Cody Angove.  Project type.  Exciting runner and pace on the footy.  Likely late draft pick as his skill is up to AFL quality which gives him a chance.   Could a side take a chance

    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.
