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?


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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
