    Yes - as discussed in the pick 79/83 thread. Really hoping we pick him...

    I’d love to get some more goals out of our small forwards not named Kozzie - so I reckon Jack would be a great get

    Hopefully he’s available at our last pick 🙏

    Interesting that he’s been linked along with the Berry. Seems a small forward is on our wish list. 
    Starting  to look like we will go with two mids, a tall and a small forward with our pick in draft and rookies

    Pardon a question I should know the answer to.

    But did Werribee  win their GF

    Anyway nice kick from the 50m line went through 1/2 way up the goal posts. So nice kick!

    Looks like he is a bit older than 18 so has been made to work,

    Not a bad thing at all.

    Looking unlikely now according to the man himself given we picked two mids with picks 6 and 11.

    Here's hoping we still pick him

    I'm guessing we're going a tall?

    Seems that way - but I'd rather take Jack Henderson. 

    Can take Riak Andrew as a rookie and the possibility of White next year F/S.

    VFL Showreel, GF: Jack Henderson highlights

    He's got a bit of zip and x factor around stoppage. Little bit Papley-esque, dare I say it.

    He reminds me of that kid in junior footy who probably studied every single way that an oval shaped ball can bounce. Whether it comes to gathering it or kicking bouncers.

    With Lindsay probably starting half back and Langford likely starting out as a medium forward/rotational mid I still think the list balance would be well served with a running forward/mid.

    Especially if we get Riak through to the Cat B list.

    Like the sound of him.

    Would be very handy to have a small forward who is also capable of going down back to play a lock down role on opposition smalls.

    Jack Henderson still a chance in the rookie draft tomorrow for the Demons?

    I don't think we have any spots. We retained all six 2024 rookies without drafting any of them to the primary list, so we're still full.

    Disappointing - thought he could have come in and had a Shaun Mannagh type impact

    very disappointed - I'm sure Johnson will be great but shattered for Jack

    I thought we had one spot after elevating Melksham to the senior list?

    We have 4 rookies (Verrall, Sestan, Hore, Brown) plus AMW (cat B) and then Kentfield (MSD Rookie). Max is 6 cat A and then 2 cat b...

    Ricky Mentha might count as a cat b/nga?

  • Quote

    Having spoken to a Werribee coach about Hendo missing, he said it was between Johnson and Hendo.

    Said we can be VERY excited about Johnson, who comes into a full time environment with plenty of room for improvement and stops bending over/working all day as a tradie. Said he is an absolute brute who can play forward in the AFL almost straight away.

    This is brilliant news and means we could rookie Hendo.

    FWIW, it means Yze misses and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. F/S can be picked up beyond 18yo...

    I think we are done, R&BF.

    Thanks for the insight from the Bees coach

    Didn't see the point of re-signing Hore as a rookie. Petty and Turner can play back if the need arises, and we have ample key forwards on our list to replace them. Hore is 29 and had an injury interrupted season. Can't see any upside in the player we previously delisted.

    From what I saw of the Werribee finals, Henderson looks like a real talent, whilst Johnson didn't look AFL level.

    Our list management continues to be puzzling.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
