Wow Gold Coast Suns with 2 x top 5 picks and playing finals this year.

I get to an extent that they need some access as they fail to cash-in on father sons, but this is another level. Needs to be made right, this is not fair to the rest of the competition. The Dees have been royally screwed by the GCS on numerous occasions. We know the Mac Andrews, but we were also stiffed with Noah Anderson, who should have been ours in the 2018 draft. The guy is now a superstar.

Last time i checked its a national competition.

 

The man of the moment, Sullivan Robey with 40 & 3 on the weekend

Underwhelming footage for such a compelling statline imo

Edited by adonski

@adonski thanks.

Sullivan Robey. From the last 2 games plus this video highlights pack …I see

Strong marking

Accurate kick for goal

Good 2nd efforts

Smart decision making

Hits targets by foot

Agressive at the contest and uses body positioning well

Doesn’t turn and bomb it long to no one

Forget the stats. He played as a marking CHF and then rotated into the midfield. That is a good mix. The issue is to work out does he have attributes that translate to AFL. I’d have to say it’s Yes.

Zero Hanger’s latest power rankings (in reverse order)

AFL Draft: Top 40 Prospect Power Rankings – September edition by Jonty Ralphsmith

40: Talor Byrne GWV Rebels, small forward

39: Jack Dalton Sandringham Dragons, utility

38: Liam Hetherton Murray Bushrangers, key forward

37: Max Kondogiannis Oakleigh Chargers, defender

36: Blake Oudshoorn-Bennier North Adelaide, midfielder

35: Koby Coulson Gold Coast Academy, utility

34: Oskar Taylor, halfback Eastern Ranges, halfback

33: Cam Nairn Central Districts, forward

32: Hugo Mikunda Geelong Falcons, forward/midfielder

31: Sam Swadling West Perth, midfielder

30: Kye Fincher Sandringham Dragons halfback/midfielder

29: Hussien El Achkar Calder Cannons, small forward

28: Sullivan Robey Eastern Ranges, forward/midfielder

27: Zac McCarthy Oakleigh Chargers, key forward/ruck

26: Beau Addinsall Gold Coast Academy, midfielder

25: Max King Sydney Academy, forward/midfielder

24: Lachy Carmichael Sydney Academy, defender

23: Louis Emmett Oakleigh Chargers, forward/ruck

22: Matt Leray Central Districts, utility

21: Adam Sweid Calder Cannons, midfielder/forward

20: Jacob FarrowWest Perth, utility

19: Jevan Phillipou Woodville West-Torrens, midfielder

18: Harley Barker Sturt, winger

17: Archie Ludowyke Sandringham Dragons, key forward

16: Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves Dandenong Stingrays, utility

15: Lachy Dovaston Eastern Ranges, small forward

14: Xavier Taylor Eastern Ranges, halfback

13: Sam Grlj Oakleigh Chargers, midfielder

12: Aidan Schubert Central Districts, key forward

11: Mitch Marsh West Adelaide, forward

10: Josh Lindsay Geelong Falcons, halfback

Has had a slightly quieter month as he's been given the opportunity to develop out other areas of his game, but his strengths are abundantly clear for all to see. Kicks it as well as anyone in the draft class and isn't afraid to take it on, with his professionalism and leadership some other intangible ticks.

9: Dyson Sharp Central Districts, midfielder

Has been in strong form for Central Districts, showing an increasingly rounded skillset in the middle. Has great strength and clean hands, is hard to take down and has excellent grit when the ball is in the opposition's hands. Crucially, his reliability on the outside and in transition is ever-increasing after a talismanic U18s National Championships.

8: Sam Cumming North Adelaide, midfielder/forward

The strong and powerful forward/midfielder hasn't played since Round 16 due to injury, but is gaining traction as a potential selection right at the pointy end given his proven ability to play in the midfield and forward line. Originally from Wentworth on the Murray River, Cumming is a clean clearance-winner, and strong overhead and at ground level inside 50, which he showed off early in the year for North Adelaide and through the National Championships.

7: Ollie Greeves Eastern Ranges, midfielder

This masthead has consistently placed Greeves higher than consensus because of his well-rounded skillset. Most players with comparable size and position profiles are stoppage beasts, and while Greeves has the ability to greatly influence at the clinches, his overlap run and kicking are just as dangerous when he's in the midfield, making him hard to stop. Eastern Ranges have also showcased him forward more in recent weeks, and goal-kicking accuracy aside, he's been excellent, proving a tough matchup with his power, size and marking.

6: Harry Dean Murray Bushrangers, defender

The Carlton father-son prospect's season is officially over – and what a year it was. Averaging 17 disposals and seven marks per game, he has established himself as the clear best tall defender in the draft class, with his mix of intercepting, athleticism, size and ball use making for the perfect player.

5: Dan Annable Brisbane Lions Academy, midfielder

Every time Annable plays at a higher level, his game seems to find another gear – and that's been clearly on show for Brisbane in the VFL in recent times. Has averaged 24 disposals and five tackles through August and clearly been his side's most consistent midfielder. The biggest barrier to early AFL game time for Annable appears to be the strength of the Brisbane AFL outfit, because the natural ball-winning star is bona fide.

4: Dylan Patterson Gold Coast Academy, utility

A match-winner, an entertainer and a big-game player, Patterson finished the VFL season in style and has hurt factor that's impossible to teach. Numbers don't do justice how dangerous he is with ball in hand as his dash and fearlessness always break the game open.

3: Cooper Duff-Tytler Calder Cannons, forward/ruck 

His stint for Essendon VFL, where he kicked three goals playing forward, laid the foundation for an excellent finish to the season, where he has proven his excellent forward presence. Kicked 2.5 in a losing cause for Calder on Saturday, taking 11 marks - a mix of on the lead, up the ground and contested. His ability to impact as a fourth midfielder when he plays through the ruck is well-known - but given rucks tend to slip, and his size, the shift forward where he's shown natural craft and waxed well with the Cannons attack has been critical.

2: Zeke Uwland Gold Coast Academy, utility

It was good to see Uwland get a run in some late-season Gold Coast VFL games, but clearly his high seeding is based on his stacked CV prior to this year. A powerful left footer with x-factor, skill and leadership, he'll be an excellent acquisition for the Suns.

1: Willem Duursma Gippsland Power, utility

The Gippslander just continues churning out best on ground performances and is hurting opponents in different ways. Some weeks, he's intercepting off halfback and setting the game up by foot, other times it's his contested ball-winning, goal-kicking, pressure, work rate...the list goes on and on. He's a match-winner, a hard worker, flashy, entertaining, and athletic. He'll take to the next level with ease.

@Pennant St Dee what’s the go?

Fred Rodriguez was super impressive in the under 18 championships. MVP for the WA Team and captain. He can attack and defend. Good size. His tackling was a highlight. Would be great alongside a future Dees mid group of Langford/Lindsay/Windsor.

Now all the draft phantoms at putting outside the top 30!!! What the? Get me a pen and sign him up if he’s available for anywhere past pick 16-17 !!!

reminds me of ashton moir in how much he slid from his early hype and its fair to say no club has been burnt by him yet (kicked a bag against us tho but ive come to expect these sort of things now)

He’s not outstanding but think he’ll be a decent without being a great player. Farrow is the most dangerous by foot of all the WA boys, with Swadling the one who knows how to find it, but he lacks the ability to defend.

2026 and 2027 will be better drafts from WA

Thanks @Pennant St Dee i agree. Farrow should be drafted in top 20 and Swadling in late first or early second round group. I think the Dees will need to find two more onballers in this draft and find value. On current assessments, Rodriguez represents an undervalued player in my view.


Sullivan Robey follows up his 40 possession 3 goal game with 27 and 2 in the Ranges win over the Cannons.

Seems to play as a powerful big mid that can rest forward as well.

First round bolter chance?

Jay Hill is a player a few clubs are interested in. Hasn’t played all season but had scouts all over him after BOG performance in the Colts super round in pre season. Had a PCL injury I think it was

Absolutely. Claremont vice captain who was marked in for a key player in WA Under 18s. Unfortunately didn’t see him but will be interesting to see if anyone takes a chance on him. From Broome to the AFL would be an amazing story. Maybe a bridge too far given he missed 2025?!?!

He’s back training getting himself ready for 2026, which I think will see him if not taken prior will see a club take him next year.

Has pace, game sense, good overhead mark and can play the big bodied mid roll. I’d take him in a heartbeat

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.
