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

Robey bolting into top 15 calculations.

Clear top 6 with 4 tied to clubs already.


️Rory Wright. Sandringham Dragons. Just really hope he lands at the Dees. Great young midfielder. Best on ground v Giopsland today in a tough contest. Has the goods to be an AFL player. Somehow he misses in the “top 30” counts by the draft predictors. I’ve called this young gun out since April and not changing my mind. Get him JT!!!

Odd's of us trading pick 23 & F1 for Gold Coast's pick 6?

Alternatively we could target the Suns picks 13 & 16 with our future first should we rate the latter parts of this years first round

Like last year, the Dees future first pick might get some interest as clubs see us weakening and potentially a pick in the top 5/6. Again the Suns have so many academy players to get, so their first pick might be available to negotiate to win.

 

Sturt win SANFL under 18 premiership

Jett Dahlitz had 37 possessions as a rebounding defender. 14 marks. Showed his talent in SA under 18 at national championships and has been excellent back at club level. Has that energy like Trent Rivers but with much better kicking skills. At 187cms, has a good size too. Would fit in as a Bailey Dale type defender who can rebound and distribute

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
