We’ll need a top 5 pick for the best of those types @whatwhat say what…O’Sullivan, Draper & Smith leading the pack (of quick, skilled mids) at this stage.

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?

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.

How sad. Really puts footy in to perspective.

That’s horrible @Pennant St Dee, thoughts with all affected. Terrible news.

 

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

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
