Prasad the best player for Dandenong yesterday v Gold Coast in Coates Talent League.

Yes he’s looking okay for the 2026 draft. Small but quick and clever.

    Prasad is very similar to Kako/Watson. Very small but incredibly nimble and slick

    Going to be fun watching him develope for the next 12 months or so.

    Shifter’s take on Prasad -

    IMG_0011.jpeg

    A small forward or midfielder who plays with real zest, Prasad attacks the ball with ferocity and hunts the opposition with impressive tackling pressure wherever he plays. A team-oriented player, he averaged 16 disposals (10 contested), six tackles and

    1.7 goals for Vic Country during the under-16 national championships last year, helping his side win the title and earning All-Australian honours in the process. Prasad also featured in three matches for the Stingrays at under-18 level late last season, providing him with a solid foundation to build on going into his bottom-age year. He was a consistent performer across his first four games of 2025 in the Coates Talent League, during which he averaged 17 disposals and kicked three goals. That included finishing as the Stingrays' best player in a round 4 loss to Gold Coast.

    👏👏Three goals yesterday in Stingrays come from behind win. He’s small but very smart and is a very good left foot kick.

    is he quick as well as being smart and a very good left foot kick?

    what sort of role do you see his game translating to at afl level?

    what player comparison is the best for him?

    He’s just going to be a small forward at AFL. More like a Jack Higgins type, lively but a left footer. Likes a goal 👏👏👏

    Prasad is averaging 16.5 disposals, 3 marks, 4.5 tackles and has kicked 9 goals in 8 games. He has very good skills, applies pressure and has a strong football IQ.

    I'm sure Melbourne are keeping a close eye on him. Below is a glowing summary of his last game at TAC Cup level and a reference to his overall consistency across the season. https://central.rookieme.com/afl/2025/06/04/scouting-notes-2025-coates-talent-league-round-9/

    "The bottom-aged small just continues to get it done week in, week out, checking all the boxes required of a modern day forward. Prasad was hot on the footy, comfortable going against bigger bodies at ground level and in the air to gain possession. He also pressured fiercely around the contest, laying an equal team-high eight tackles. Prasad finished the day with three straight majors, one from a smart run at a forward 50 stoppage, another from a contested mark deep insider 50, and the last by catching an opponent holding the ball near the square."

    Thanks, looking forward to Kosy playing mid/forward with Prasad.

    Talking about players coming through we have a heap playing under 15's ATM. I often look at this article from April'25.

    Melbourne Academy | Players to watch

    Oliver Green, Tex Robertson, Tigga Johnstone, Max McDonald - Father/Sons.

    Academy - Al - Ziggy Tiltsen-Collins, Mitch Liddle, Eric Junior Campbell.

    Have a read. If a few of that lot come up trumps we will go ok.

    Then there is Marley Davey and the White twins later.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
