We were caught out last year with back ups for Max ,now we have two mature age Ruck forwards just in case we need them.

Good selection.

At 193cms, he’s not a backup ruck.  He’s a battler forward

Think Casey, and protection for some of those young lads on our list.

Perhaps but Bell delivered that

I’m taking a guess here and know only what i’ve read on this site. But, with the ruck rules the way they are,  these bash and crash ruckman can now at least nullify far better players. Look what happened to Grundy in the GF and how the North Ruck Tristan Xeri plays. 

Knowing JT he wouldn’t “ waste” any pick. 

You’re quite right ..JT stated “they’d put a lot of work into this draft” so he was picked for a purpose. Happy to see how it pans out before he’s relegated immediately to Casey (as some posters assume ) .

It doesn’t make much sense. BBB and Schache gone and we're back playing 6 talls in the Casey forward line.

Assuming Campbell rucks:

Jefferson, Fullarton, Kentfield, Verrall, Johnson and Melksham.

Agreed.

Jeffo is playing ones (hopefully), Fullerton sucks, Verrall is a ruck and Melksham isn't a tall. 

 

Makes sense if they don’t rate some of those forwards…

If we don’t, that is a worry.


I'm more surprised that Clancy Dennis who was an under 18 All Australian key defender missed out on getting picked in the draft?! 🤔

Likely a crash and bash back up for JVR. Basically said that was one of his roles in the VFL GF. Crashed and bashed Crossly out of the game.

Werribee knew they could win if they could subdue Crossly who is one of the best rucks in the VFL.

He lost 13kgs pre season with Weribee. Spent the previous 2 and a half years rehabbing a bad knee.

“I moved down from Albury and I’ve had a pretty serious knee injury for the past two and half years. This year I got my body right. I dropped about 13kg."

"He (Brayden Crossley) is a dominant ruckman, he is probably the best ruckman in the league, and we knew if we could nullify him to less than 70 hitouts with crash and bash and wear him down we could be able to get them."

You must remember, the 2010 u18 AA CHF was none other than Lucas Cook. That didn’t go too well

Nahhh he is Forward/Ruck and has played back up ruck on many occasions in his career.


He has just played  a season after having serious knee issues for 2 and 1/2 years.

I take it we got the Richmond doctor to check him out before we called his name.

True! That was another Prendergast disaster. ☹️

Hopefully you can still grow at 24 as 193cm is a pretty small ruck. Josh Smillie as a midfielder is taller

Well welcome Aidan.

I'm  not for one moment comparing him to Ponsiadly in terms of ability ....  but, someone(s) has seen something and we're  prepared to roll a die.

Thats the player I was thinking of as well.


Better than Dawes, I’m excited by the brute.

Sometimes it's about opportunity and effort. 

Well he's  shown effort and application and now has an opportunity.

No idea what will result. Am genuinely curious though.

Good luck 👍 

he might be another mihocek, bub?  nice one grab marker.

maybe wishful thinking

Sounds like he is a unit that can step in when needed

We need some tall depth

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    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.
