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.

Agreed. Sinnema is a talented youngster and one to grab in our 2025 draft. It’s a highly compromised draft pool this year with academy and father son picks.

    Good video to introducd the top prospects heading into the season.

    Curtin played in super round last week and bagged 8 vs Subiaco, to big , strong and agile for his opponent.

    Toby Sinnema is also Vice- Captain of the Stingrays this year

    what is the current thinking of his value?

    is he still playing primarily as an outside player or, given its his senior year, is he starting to develop an inside / out game?

    He’s an outside player with good disposal and some tricks, a bit of X factor about him. Fits a need and a type that suits the modern game. Has played senior footy for Devon Meadows in the Mornington Peninsula Football League which is a good competition. Been recognised this year for his leadership which is another bonus.

    FROM ROOKIE ME PRE SEASON ON Toby Sinnema

    “He was lucky enough to spend two weeks at Melbourne through the NGA program there at the start of preseason, so he’s come back nice and strong. Breaks lines, kicks the ball well, really powerful with his running and his ability to get involved in chains.”

    Sinnema will be very handy to add to our shifting list profile.

    I always thought he was very much like Lindsay when I saw them both play last year. Good skills and runs.

    A young man by the name of White might be of interest.

    12 players are already under academy programs , out of 28 youngsters. This year will be another big lift for the northern teams Swans, Suns, Lions & Giants. They need to be gifted some of the very best elite youngsters… don’t they? Ffs.

    well, it's important for the equalisation of the competition, promotion of northern franchises, and protection of the broadcast rights' value

    Dees have no mid year draft pick at this stage so little focus on this game. But I’d like to see young Yze developing and see him still as a potential rookie chance at the end of the year.

    There’s another Lindsay who plays half-back and has a lethal left foot on the horizon but he’s no relation to Xavier.

    Josh Lindsay is from the Geelong Falcons and was named best player for the AFL Academy against Coburg VFL yesterday at Whitten Oval. He collected 25 disposals at 80 per cent efficiency across half-back, providing run and drive for his side. Lindsay won the team best on ground medal ahead of South Australian on-baller Dyson Sharp who was also an outstanding performer.

    Dees will have to look to value picks in this years draft. We’ll use picks for Sinnema and hopefully Kalani White. Whilst we will look at how to get that gun tall forward or energetic goalkicking small forward, I’m still wanting to get players with skills and kicking efficiency.

    Whilst perhaps not in the top 50 listings at this stage, I watched Oakleigh Chargers and Aaron Sharkie looks a good player who can run and run and kick with efficiency. One to pencil down and see if he gets a place in the Vic Metro team.

    Scouting Notes: AFL Academy vs. Coburg VFL

    The AFL Academy notched a 13-point win over Coburg VFL in their second and final exhibition match, played at Whitten Oval on Sunday.

    Prospective father/son Kalani While took part in the AFL Academy team ~

    #39 Kalani White | Key Forward/Defender
    Suns Academy/Queensland (Melbourne F/S)

    Stats: 7 disposals, 2 marks, 2 tackles

    Swapping positions with Curtin at half time, White was arguably more impressive in the defensive half where he was able to win more of the ball and demonstrate his clean ball use by hand and foot. White has a knack for being in the right spot, but currently lacks of little polish to hold all the marks he’s in the area for, almost getting mark of the year early on as the Academy exited defensive 50. To make up for this, White took a one-handed chest mark whilst jumping on his opponents head in the defensive goalsquare in the third quarter.

    Riddle me this demonlanders,

    I know some people argue about picking on best talent vs best option.

    If we're looking option wise, what type of player do we target with our first pick?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
