Andy Moniz-Wakefield is a Cat A-Rookie.

We have one Cat-B Rookie Spot.

That would explain not going for Riak Andrew with a bid 

No it doesn't if we bid on Andrew he would have been on the senior list. Johnson is more regarded than him at Melbourne.

The original report (sorry forgot who it was) said permission to train, nothing about him actually getting a spot.

If the afl are serious about increasing indigenous numbers they should allow it regardless of spot.

Anyway, hope he can train, but even if we did have a spot I wouldn’t imagine he’s a lock. Looked super classy with the ball at Casey but didn’t do much without it. 

That’s what you go to an AFL Club to learn. 18/20 yo’s are not the full product.

We put the training and playing habits into raw talented or potentially talented prospects.

Might get D/L ers off Frittas back if he succeeds.

I'm not getting too far ahead of myself with regards to having him on the list.

The 'paperwork' referred to may just be insurance paperwork to allow him to participate in training.

But seriously any other info on him?

Thanks for the info so far…

Kozzi type small fwd?

NTFL on Youtube 

Southern Districts is his local team up in Darwin.

Looks very much like there's been some miscommunication about George's status. The likely scenario is that he's on the Casey list and just as in the past, can train with us but I have strong doubts that we can simply include him on our list as a Category B rookie under current rules.

The next Aaron Davey????

He has ability and pace. What is more interesting to me is that he has Davey's smarts, deceptive moves and an ability to mess up the thoughts of opponents and defenders with agility and immediate assessments of place and opportunities upfield.

This guy played a few games for Casey last year so we were well aware of his talent.

It seems odd that if we wanted him we didn't keep a list spot.  

I would guess a talented, small fwd with X factor would be a more valuable A-Rookie than some others we have. 

 

Footnote:  we have a B-Rookie spot available but he isn't eligible.

Talents never been an issue for Roy, he's an excitement machine. Let's see how he settles into AFL standards, hopefully he's ready to give it his all and take the opportunity.

Yes agree. Talent was on show.  It’s how he can fit into the demands of footy at a higher level.  It’s not all just enjoying games with your mates.  Although it should be. Hopefully Dees can uncover another excitement machine … “Royball” !!!

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
