I see shades of Cam Pedersen... 

Hope he can be a useful gap filler like Cam was over the few years up to '18

JvR out has me cringing thinking about Petty, BBB as 2nd ruck/fwd, Petty's been hopeless this year, BBB better for structure has 1 competitive effort this year only...

Do I recall correctly Peds playing starting ruck with Max out (??), and having a cracker. Regardless, I knew him as "clunker" as he was a decent clunk. Denfitinitely got the most out of his 193cm.

I miss Cam! 😢

    There seems to be multiple reports, some praising his agility and speed and others saying it's a weakness.

    What's your thoughts?

    His agility for a tall is good in terms of clean at ground level. His lateral movement is where think he lacks agility. Pace has improved from last season but still wouldn’t say he’s quick, what they may be referring to is his explosion off the mark

    I would take a Cam Pedersen right this second.

    Except that he is only on a 6 month contract  .There will be no Jefferson type development phase with him .He either shows he is up to speed this year or he is out .

    No, JT said he is a long term project and I am certain you will see him get at least next year to develop. He is a year behind Jeffo in the system, but he may not be that far behind him physically, as he looks a big lump of a kid. Will just need AFL conditioning and playing in our game plan.

    I like the selection on type.

    Whether its a 6- or 18-month contract for these players, can both parties agree to extend the contract at any time? 

    Yes.

    I believe our stirring win over Adelaide away in 2017 might have been one such occasion.

    Chad Warner went pick 39

    Gulden went pick 32

    No one saw any value in them before that

    Who cares what others think?

    Gulden was a Swan academy member. No one else had access to him really.

    But generally I agree.

    Like the comments from JT,  and he is a lump of a lad.  
    when does he come over and start training.

    we need WCW and other track watchers to run their eye over our new man.

    insights a plenty I hope. Doubt he will play this year but he will have an extra 6 months on the draft selection this year.

    Just looking at him he is ahead body wise of Jefferson, it will be more fitness wise but in his favour he has played senior football, must admit I like his aggression.

    That's a great call. A Cam Pedersen level player would be a good outcome.

    Also Hayden McLean - similar body type and role to Luker - was a pre-season supplementary signing.

    IF he gets a run this season, barring another catastrophic run of injuries, I would be very pleasantly surprised.

    Casey has a developing ruck - Verrall but a competent back up would be handy.

    Good to hear - he could try out for MCC Cricket and Lacrosse teams, in his "spare time".

    And Cowboy Neale played when?  The 1960s game was very different, almost unrecognisable, to 2024.  

    "Trained" twice a week that is had a few kicks and ran a few laps before a few beers, and a smoke for some

    I certainly like his aggression and he seems to like laying heavy tackles too.   I hope he can get to the required fitness level.

    6 months seems odd, to resettle a player across the continent.

    Do we know if extension is an option without going to the draft??

    As above, love his aggression and tackling - yes I know it is a highlight reel.  

    Already ahead of Schache and possibly  FullArton (though I have not seen him in  action).

    Mono listening to JT’s interview he remarked that they have been following Lukers progress for some time and view him as a long term prospect. We will free up a Rookie spot at the end of year when Judd McVee is upgraded to the Senior List so should be a spot for him. JT also mentioned that Luker will be moving in with The Kolt and his host family.😁

    Apologies if this has been already answered in the thread but did we get him for 6 or 18 months. The MFC website doesn't confirm but I would guess 18 months??

    Approx half the draft class signed 18 month contracts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
