The future looks good with the talent the recruiting team have recruit and the coaches are developing.

JVR (Future dominant KPF)

McVee (I think he will become a weapon in the midfield in a year or two)

Leb Windsor. (Star quality)

Bowser (will get back to his best)

Jeffo (Liking his development at VFL level)

Riv (loved his midfield minutes the last couple of weeks)

Howes (Will gain more consistency) 

Jed Adam’s (has been better since Tomo has not been playing VFL level. Jury is still out) 

Verrall (I like his game and will continue his development. Max replacement) 

Kozzie (he is 23 and already a star) 

Kolt (has shown his value in patches. Has natural  improvements to come) 

Disco (he will become more consistent and has been good in patches) 

AMW (loved what I saw last night) 

Woe jnr (he will be a solid performer in time)

Sestan (the kid has skill oozing out of him, just needs consistency at VFL. Time will tell but has a high ceiling) 

 

All up that is 15 kids named and most have had a taste of playing at senior level. Only one top 10 draft pick on this list too…….

 

I propose a fun excercise on this fine winter morning 🥶🥶

Of those players listed here, use a current player in the competition (or someone that played in this millenia) to describe their ceilings....

JVR - Jack Riewoldt 

And so on

 

Koz >> Cyril


Thought Dirk looked great last night. Hopefully an extended run coming.

Tholstrup - Jack Gunston

The KOLT is going to be a star ️ 

Loved how he went about it last night. 

Absolutely! Great player: love his attitude - not fazed at all, just gets in there, with a grin. We’re crying out for these types, especially with Gus and Hibbo out of the picture now.

As soon as he gets the confidence and knowledge to give himself that extra yard to get a shot away, he’s going to be elite.

Just needs to get used to the pace of AFL and get games experience and he will be handy.

Kolt will really benefit from a proper preseason, has some explosiveness to unlock

And I like his out going attitude.  Not afraid to have a go. Extrovert.

In comparison much of our team seems to have the personaility of the IT department.

Ooh, I'll play. I'll try to be realistic but positive and also controversial so I can be in the AFL media.

Judd McVee - Michael Hibberd

Kynan Brown - Nathan Brown

Trent Rivers - Marc Murphy (lol I know much that'll irritate some people but I suspect like Murphy, Rivers will spend most of his career being either underrated or overrated.)

Jake Bowey - Leigh Montagna


I am most interested in those who can make an impact in 2025. I want another premiership now while our generational talent is still playing and in their prime.

First 22 in 2025. 

  • Rivers - A full preseason training as a midfielder and we could have something special. It might be the key to Petracca spending permanent time up forward.
  • McVee - When (if) does the midfield move happen? It's either him or Rivers.
  • JVR - So much of our hope for another flag depends on if, or when, it finally clicks for Roo.
  • Windsor - Already AFL standard and should be fitter and stronger next year.

Fringe 22:

  • Turner - His position is a huge question mark. He's shown enough to suggest he would be a great third tall forward line. However, what if Tomlinson and Petty leave and McDonald retires? We then have almost zero depth with an aging May and injury-prone Lever.
  • Jefferson - Based on talent and his improvement in 2024 you would hope he can meaningfully contribute at AFL level next year. Hugely important to our chances.
  • Bowey - Not sure I see where huge improvement comes from, but his best is a lock for our first 22. Needs to regain his form.
  • Tholstrup - Can he take a massive step next year? Or will he take a while? Seems the latter to me, will be the next generation.

Depth for injuries: Howes, Woewodin, AMW, Brown

Unlikely to play: Adams, Verrall, Sestan

 

Not sure why people are talking about our youth in 2025 when we’re still in 2024.

our young brigade went toe to toe with a very experienced And in form Briscoe outfit and showed they are very capable. 

I loved the Kolt taking it up to and backchatting Zorko, loved McVee’s chip at speed to Kozzie, and Rivers is a revelation in the middle. They are growing week to week.

If they continue to build cohesion, belief and form our young brigade may be blossoming here and now.

It was probably always the plan this year though, given we went into the season with question marks over Gus and Clarry. 

Does the MFC follow Demonland? 
 

Anyway, they’re putting this out publicly for a reason.

Yes, very impressive but this place is souring on the leader of our Development academy because “wE dOn’T kIcK sTrAtE!1!”

Square that circle, Paul. Square that circle.

Unfortunately Paul, I’m of the opinion that a premiership is beyond us this year. That why I’m looking at our younger brigade. 
 

I like what I see and hope with development will can content again in 2025

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
