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.

    AFL Draft: The future stars representing Australia U18 team against VFL sides

    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

    AFL Draft: Race to be pick 1 wide open; lots of academy-linked

    Was looking at the top 20 and then the next cabs off the rank, 13/28 are NGA/Academy/FS.

    Not the greatest year to acquire picks if any of the fellas (Pickett/Clarry/Petracca etc) leave.

    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?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
