Scouting Notes 30/10/2025

"The best small forward in this year’s draft pool, Dovaston has often made a hard position look easy.

Club Eastern Ranges / Blackburn

State VIC

Height 178cm

DOB 29/05/2007

Scoreboard Impact / X Factor / Pressure / Endurance

A creative small forward, there’s definitely a little bit of Nick Watson about Dovaston. He hit the scoreboard on a consistent basis across different programs this year, including in the Coates Talent League and with Vic Metro. Dovaston had a standout game for the Eastern Ranges in round 11, booting five goals from 20 disposals. He went on to lead Vic Metro’s goalkicking at the under-18 national championships with nine majors from four games, highlighted by an 18-disposal and four-goal performance against the Allies. Applying good forward pressure is the key to his game, while he also works hard up the ground to get involved, has great agility and forward craft, can hit the scoreboard in different ways and sets up teammates in better positions inside the forward arc. Dovaston played a key role in the Ranges’ premiership this year and kicked two goals from 24 disposals as one of his side’s best players in the Grand Final win over the Sandringham Dragons in September. The performance saw him finish the season with 38 goals from 16 games in the Coates Talent League – the second-most of any player in the competition. Dovaston was named in a forward pocket in the under-18 All-Australian team and earned a spot in the Coates Talent League Team of the Year. He also made a VFL debut for Box Hill in round 20, gathering 18 disposals and kicking 1.3. At the national draft combine in October, Dovaston excited as he finished first in the agility test (7.794 sec) and equal-fourth in both the standing vertical jump (74cm) and running vertical jump (89cm) tests.

2025 Coates League 114 ranking points, 16.1 disposals, 2.3 marks, 5 tackles, 6.9 score involvements, 2.4 goals, 1.1 score assists (16 games)

2025 VFL 78 ranking points, 18 disposals, 5 marks, 3 tackles, 7 score involvements, 1 goal, 3 behinds, 3 score assists (1 game)

2025 National Champs 94 ranking points, 12.8 disposals, 2 marks, 3.5 tackles, 5.5 score involvements, 2.3 goals (4 games)"

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
