Thanks, Poita.

Big boy. And. it seems, yet another inch taller now?

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.

@Turner from last week … yes he has the makings of a very smart footballer

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

His brother was on the Lions list and im note sure if he ever player a game. if so, not many.

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 REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
