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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
