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: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
