Dom Brew could be in the mix with this pick (Werribee Captain, 2024 JJ Liston winner).

Mail, or speculating? He'd provide a pretty good Viney impersonation in the event Jack was injured or needed a week off.

Heard some credible mail on this, though in reality when you're getting down the draft order that far it just becomes  more and more speculative IMO (I know that sounds like I'm not committing).

Clubs like to cry poor about the unfairness of Northern academies and F/S then they puss out on keeping them honest.

yeah, everyone is saying this kid is elite

i believe he's the first underage kid to play in three consecutive u/18 premierships in a row...and be one of the best players all three years

how he's not universally acknowledged as the consensus #1 pick i have no idea

totally agree. they know Brisbane will take him. make them pay full price. hes tipped to go pick 5 which is a lot cheaper than pick 1 or 2. 

this is what happens when ex-footballers have to use their brain. well we never really were going to get him, so we didnt interview him, so wont bid. yeah great logic.

Sounds like a player that will immediately add midfield depth and can perhaps play a tagging role if required. After losing Harmes and Jordan we could use his type.


There are good reasons not to bid.

Pick 1 is a special award and also has a prize attached.

Clubs may also want to signal to the player they pick that he's really wanted, not second choice.

What goes around, comes around is a reason too.

Yeah, I think that’s how he’d be viewed. I spoke about this in another thread so don’t necessarily want to hijack this one, but given the departures of JJ, Harmes, ANB, Hunter, and Gus (and to a lesser extent, Jackson), we’ve lost a lot of the pinch hitters and midfield depth and versatility that is needed. That showed significantly through this season with absence of Petracca and limitations of Oliver’s output.

I understand the not wanting to bid pick 1 or 2, as those players receive a bonus from the AFL. After that though.........

I’d have him 3rd in line for Werribee players, would surprise me

Riley Bice and Jack Henderson being the others?

After listening to his interview on SEN, all 18 sets of supporters would love to give this guy a chance as a late pick.

Went from not getting a game for Albury to Liston VFL medal winner as a 27 year old. Apparently recently wrote a letter to all 18 clubs and is the type of bloke that won’t accept no for an answer.

Could be this year’s Sean Mannagh (or could simply not be an AFL standard player??)

Was unaware #2 also got a bonus
But other teams, c'mon

Hey posters - this thread is for our Round 5 pick currently 79.

Yes, and it will come in depending on where bids are made and nga kids are selected, which dilutes the draft of later picks 

In to 75 with a couple of bids to come. Go you good thing 


I have no idea who the Demons will choose with pick #75?

Ideally, it should be a key defender. Especially, in preparation for the long-term replacement of Steven May at full back.

I have faith in Jason Taylor choosing an obscure "smokey" that none of us have ever heard of.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
