Aidan Johnson…. Come on down. Key forward.

'Instrumental' in Werribee flag.

Whooʻ the Fuuurg is Aiden Johnson???


Aidan Johnson.  Wow.  Thats a Smokey.  Saw him in the VFL GF.  Forward.  About 6”4.  Workhorse type.  Strong battler who have 100%.  A huge surprise!!! Bloke you’d see in the country footy league.  Not sure if his history prior to VFL. 

NO HENDERSON OR BREW!!! the two obvious Werribee likely draftees 

Wow. Didn't see that coming - we were linked with 2 other Werribee players, and wound up picking the bloke no one expected to be picked up. 

Work horse. Massive heart. "Absolute wild card" is the message I just received from one of my Werribee contacts.

Statistically he's a key forward / ruckman who doesn't kick many goals, low possessions and seems too short to be a genuine ruckman. At 24, it's hard to get enthused by the pick. 

I'd rather we picked Henderson.

 

With Jeffo (hopefully) moving up to AFL, and the loss of Brown, Schache, Tomlinson and even Farris-White, we need some tall/key position depth and protection for the Casey boys. Hard to see this as much more than that. Can pinch hit to cover Verrall, provide a target up forward. Not particularly inspiring, but perhaps necessary.

Darcy Fort was at the lions for much the same reason.

Cam Pederson type. Set to play next year

The two players that I immediately thought of were Pedersen and Podsiadly.  Hope he does as well as they did.

mmmmm

We seem to have a pattern with picks of this nature

Good luck to the young man but.............


Surprised that an under 18 All Australian tall defender in Clancy Dennis missed out?

I guess he could be a rookie draft selection?

Given that he’s a premiership player from Werribee .. I assume he’s been told he will get an AFL opportunity if he’s good enough. Why would he come just to play for Casey ?

He was the one I wanted. I'm disappointed we didn't take him. But there's hope for us yet in the rookie draft but that would mean we miss out on Noah Yze I think? not sure how many rookie picks we have available?

This is me … 

ALL AUSTRALIAN CENTRE HALF BACK 

CLANCY DENNIS 

NOT DRAFTED 

he must have really insulted the recruiting teams during his interviews 

Would have been a good addition to the Dees young rebuild refresh 

 

 


There's always a few players that miss out.

Surprised we didn't match a bid for Riak Andrew...but oh well.

Jason Taylor and the Melbourne Football Club recruiting team are the professionals and we can only speculate.

What picks did we have to match the bid on Riak? I thought pick 75 was worth 0 points?

What was the communication? Coz right now I’m livid. 

Often with borderline F/S or NGA a club says if not selected in the draft we will take you as a rookie but unlikely to match a bid and wish you well.  Gives the player reassurance of being on a list.

For a player reckon they would rather be selected outright.  Reckon Riak would be chuffed at being selected at #55 in such an even draft.

I noticed Sydney looked quite bemused that we didn't match!

 

ps hope you feel better about it having slept on it.

I just hope we made the right choice of Aidan Johnson over Riak. At the moment I'm in two minds.

  • 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.
