    Jackson Voss is the standout VFL player that I would add to the Dees list. Half back runner. Mature body size at 23yo. Ready to go for 2026. Excellent kick both over short or longer distance. Good mark and contests & wins the footy.

    Fergus McFayden nominated for the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal 2025

    He

    Fergus McFayden, 18, 190cm goalkicking forward

    The former Brisbane Lions Academy member has kicked 32 goals from 16 outings for the Lions, including five against Collingwood in Round 4, when he booted a point after the siren to lift the Lions to victory. McFayden is strong in the air, a sure set-shot for goal and looks to have quite a future.

    ahh yep woulda been the better thread to post in, surely ends up on an afl list, raw footy smarts and ability can only be enhanced within a professional environment, wonder what the knock on him last year was that let him slide through undrafted?

    @Turner I think McFayden was viewed as “in between type”. Not an agile aerobic half forward but not a tall key forward. But he showed in senior footy that he had the smart footy IQ and goalkicking ability. Safe pair of hands. He has shown he can handle the physical and contested work as well. Would be a handy addition imv

    Monteath was outstanding for Essendon against Casey in that game at Port Melbourne. Incredibly athletic and skillful - just needs to get fit - was having full body cramps by 3 QT.

    I'd be surprised if he did not land on a list....

    yes, i thought he brilliant up until the cramping

    he might be a titch undersized for an afl ruckman, but his mobility and scoreboard impact was excellent

    thsts my concern too, look at how verrall is developing at a similar age which is pretty slowly, you'd just lvoe for them both to be 202-203cm at least

    Jackson Voss. Just another reminder of his talent.

    V Casey Demons. 34 possessions. 30 kicks. 8 marks. His left foot disposal was AFL class. No one on Casey team was even close to his delivery or impact to rebound outside 50. Hit up targets through the corridor. Time to wake up to these quality players that would walk into the AFL system.

    interesting voss wasnt sighted in the toty but tom blamires was, and won the Fothergil-Round-Mitchell. he had that one 40+ game when he touched up collingwood, but was the rest of his season at that same level?

    Is there a family connection here to a past player, not at MFC, Richmond I think, or Ess.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
