honestly for mine, he'd wanna win a coleman next year. to actively select a 24yo vfl battler, yes he has some mongrel about him, over riak boggles me. Riak in the right system, skies the limit. he was putting genuine games together at the end of the season, taking intercepts and shutting down this drafts best key forwards, we should have given him 2 or 3 years, would have got so much more out of the pick than johnson. i pray im proven wrong but its hard to buy in on raw data

A great video here!

Simon Goodwin surprising big "AJ" with his friends, teammates and family at his house presenting him with a Melbourne Demons jumper and some merchandise.

This is the type of social media I like to see!

Well done AJ!ย  Congratulations on achieving your AFL dream!

GO DEMONS!!! ๐Ÿ‘น๐Ÿ”ด๐Ÿ”ต

Unexpected, but I for one am happy with the pick. So many on here lament the lack of mongrel amongst some of the players - and not just the young ones either - and to bring in a crash 'n bash merchant can only be a positive. If all he does is show Jefferson and Adams how to crash a pack it will have been worth it

I think that some here underestimate the importance of a strong Casey team. It's one of the keys to developing all these younger players on the list and keeping our depth players AFL- ready. If he helps straighten us up and adds a bit of backbone to the team it'll be a plus. (And no, you can't just get players like this direct to Casey.)

As for the rest, who knows, though I suspect he's going to need at least a season to even start getting up to speed.ย 

I donโ€™t mind a pick like this.

I have to believe that JT knows his business. Mature age, country boy and a bit rough around the edges that has finally been given a crack at the big time.

I am sure he will give it everything and not die wondering.ย 
ย 

He plays for my team and good luck to him.

Cult hero written all over him.ย

The next Fraser Gehrig.ย

Everyone complains about our culture. We need to start a Go Fund Me for him for the next KB so he can make a cultural statement that should have been made this season and see to Maynard and Moore. We can fund the consequent loss of match payments.ย 

If this was the only thing he ever did for us he should be awarded life membership of the MFC immediately after the game.ย 

It looks like we've decided to go in a different direction after recruiting a couple of bruise free forwards in recent years.ย

Say that to JVRโ€™s face.

ย 

Do I back the considered judgment of JT or the posters who have already written him off before a ball has been kicked?

The answer's obvious.

I am going to give the club more credit than that.

He is obviously depth - no one picked at ND68 is anything else, but none of our forwards have lit up their names - he is a mature age forward who should back himself to compete for a spot. If he is a natural forward with good movement then he is immediately ahead of any other tall forward on our list.

No Jeffo is a born forward with the right instincts and associated skills. But Disco is learning fast and JVR competes for his life and his ability will surface for 40/50 goals soon.ย 

Youth is on our side but this left field selection might be a bit Frampton inspired wih bash plus crash to boot.ย 

Maybe he jumps on opposing teams no 1 players back and sends them to hospital.ย

Round 1 chance before a single day of preseason is an interesting call.

When he does get a game he should take the ruck/fwd and let JvR spend 100% of his game time forward.

Was trying to work out his selection, but that could be the plan..... if he can give Max a chop out for 5m a quarter, give a contest up forward, and keep JVR out of the ruck, may well be an astute pick.ย 

Gosh anyone would think heโ€™s been picked by another team. Support the lad, back in JT like everyone always does, and rub your eyes again and remember its pick 68 ffs

Absolutely worth a look with such a late pick.ย

If he needs a season to be ready itโ€™s a waste of selection really.โ€™

i am astounded that you wouldnโ€™t beat the bid for Riak given his development and potential.ย 

JT must know more than meets the eye surely so hope Aidan can help our ruck /forward situation and also serve the purpose identified by his selection.ย 

People have been crying out for a pick like this. The last 2 years we've taken punts on blokes like Schace, Fullarton and McAdam. Blokes with all the talent and no real grit.

Reminds of Brody Miochek, good luck Aidan, hope he makes the most of the opportunity.

๐Ÿ’ฏ. ย The kid has worked hard to get an opportunity, let him crack in.

Geeze, we have some very average supportersย 

Could this pick be influencedย  by Mentha now likely being a Cat B Rookie - essentialy giving us an extra list spot (taken by a small).

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
