Werribee small forward who's recently done a medical at the Dees according to the Hun.

    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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
