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.

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
