Prasad is for next year though and he’s very small.

Nick Watson is 170cm and hasn’t stopped him.

Prasad sounds like he could be a beauty. Will be interesting to watch him develop

    The inability to get direct access to Tairon Ah-Mu is annoying but the rules are the rules and, unless changed in the near future (unlikely), we’re going to have to live with it. Moreover, it might have boiled down to a choice at draft time between Ah-Mu and White so it’s not such a significant problem if we think the latter’s our best choice anyway. 

    There's an article in the Herald Sun about Samoan born Richmond (and former Casey Demons) player Mykelti Lefau going back to Samoa to visit his roots and promote the game.

    If Melbourne were smart, it would immediately start pushing for players of Samoan heritage to be included in NGA qualification rules in the same way as players from other countries that do meet the current qualifications. There's no logical reason this shouldn't happen and it's just a pity that for some reason Melbourne apparently is never proactive in such things.

    Does anyone know Tim Lamb?

    marcus prasad and toby sinnema both sound genuinely exciting; really encouraging that the latter played more games as a bottom-ager last season than any other player

    disappointing that we don't have ah-mu eligible as well, but add kalani white and that's three likely prospects for dees in 2025 in a year in which we don't have a first round selection

    I didn't spot a father / son prospect in these profles @Whispering_Jack - presume you were referring to white?

    Pretty impressive by Sinnema last year given he's a December birthday he was really bottom age and played all year as a 16yo.

    makes trading out of it to bring in lindsay all the more reasonable

    especially if kalani white and toby sinnema become part of the crop of 'compromised' first rounders that we have (albeit diluted) discounted access to select

    We have a 2nd rounder which will blow out and Toby Sinnema and very likely Kalani White.

    With Academy and Father sons compromising the draft we picks for those 2 will fall back.

    We do not know how they will shape up this year - hopefully good.

    We will have to trade picks in or maybe a player or 2 will want to be traded out?

    We should all write to the club.

    Write away. It won't go where it needs to get to regardless and will end up being screened by someone at the front end of the club and will probably end in the delete bin.

    The only chance might be via registered snail mail requiring a signature from the recipient if that's still a thing.

    For clarity for the 2025 draft we have our 2nd rounder and we swapped our 3rd rounder with the Lions for Sharp.

    Our second rounder with the discount should nail Toby Sinnema.

    Not sure whether the Lions 3rd rounder will be enough for kalani. Wait and see.

    I note Toby Sinnema played well on the week end as did Prasad.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
