Bo Allen looks like a  weapon .

very fast, huge leap , tough and big left boot.

Every kid will be judged individually , I’d trust JT if he wanted to draft a west Australian

My guess is it'll be out of Lindsay and Bo Allan for this pick.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if we selected Bo Allan for our number 9 pick over Lindsay. After watching Allan on the Preliminary Final and Grand Final in the WAFL. Allan would be very much in the mix ready to play Round AFL Round 1 2025. 

I did mention that I had a discussion with Tim Lamb when we played against GWS on that very cold Saturday night. During half time break, I was standing next to him watching swimming Finals (Olympics) and we were talking about draft prospects and the Championship Carnival. 

Tim did mention to me he was very impressed with Bo Allan and spoke very highly of him having excellent leadership qualities as well. I do like Lindsay's elite kicking skills and efficiency. I believe it is very much a 50/50 between Allan and Lindsay. I believe we will be selecting 2 midfielders ready to play in the very early rounds in 2025.

Great insight, thanks SB!

A mixture of Chris Judd and Campbell Chesser

I'm hoping Berry will be in the mix for 9. Started out as a small forward but got midfield time throughout the year. 

Has speed, kicks well off both feet but left foot dominant, one touch player, tough in the contest and has good forward IQ hitting the scoreboard regularly. This kid is class.

 

 

@Nascent Joe Berry.  Yes if only we had another pick inside the best 15. I’d still have (in order of preference) Tauru, Travaglia, Lindsay & Allan as ahead of Berry at pick 9.  Having said that, it’s not a knock on Berry, as he is still very talented.  This draft has future stars imv all the way through the first round.

Exactly, but not the Chesser bit. Like him a lot

Very happy if we call his name out

Ready to go

Edited by Moonshadow

I think Norf will split 2 into 6 and 10/11/14 with Richmond. I see them, as a result, taking Tauru 6. Probably too much of a reach to take him at 2, but 6 is more justifiable. After that I think the saints take 2 mids 7/8 - likely looking to be Smillie and Murphy Reid. With tauru hypothetically off the table, I would be very happy to see us target Travaglia. There’s something about a skinny, quick half back/midfielder that’s very endearing (like a will day type). However, in a dream world I would love love love Melbourne to take a punt on Taj Hotton at pick 9. That kid is an absolute superstar in the making, who is only not in top 5 contention due to his ACL injury earlier this year. Upside is ridiculous and has the X factor that we crave.

If North are comfortable we won’t take Tauru, I reckon they’ll split the pick with Tiges for p6 (+ one of their other bazillion picks).

JT has a history of not being predictable and you’d hope he is holding his cards closer to his chest this year for that very reason. 
 

Cal Twomey always gets mail from the inside, it’ll be interesting to see if perhaps this year he is a little off given the possible pick-trading scenarios

What's the go home factor for Allan?

 

Reportedly there and why I think he's not being mentioned more as a top 10 pick. West Coast traded down to pick 12 to grab him. Freo have 14. He will likely go to Eagles at 12 unless a club takes the risk before then.

Fairly big risk, which I have heard from a few

I think that's one of the less important reasons to not pick him at 9.

Hasn't scared us in the recent past with WA boys, but to hear this it's disappointing. I'd be really happy with Bo at pick 9, seems to have all the attributes of a great modern day midfielder.

Yes we seem to be a club who backs ourselves.

Things can always change once you get settled into an environment and the day to day training and with a new group.

Just passing on what I have heard

From what I’ve seen of his decision making if he left Melbourne heading for Perth he’d end up at Casey so it wouldn’t be too much of a worry 


I still think we should look at choosing a Victorian.

Xavier Lindsay is an excellent kick and we desperately need more of those at the Demons.

Twomeys Oct phantom will be interesting. Every year its a bit different to his September with more Information available.

Looking forward to the October phantoms later this month.

Love his speed and aggression in the contest but gee his disposal leaves a bit to be desired.

Agreed. No point being daring and quick if you’re turning it over or failing to find a target.

Jayden Hunt vibes. Line breaking pace followed by long kicks to no one.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
