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

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
