Scouting Notes: 2026 Talent League - Round 2

Round 2 of the Talent League saw prospects produce breakout games, and stand up in the absence of key personnel.

#3 Jett Flower

Defender/Midfielder | 183cm | 25/05/2009

Stats: 25 disposals, 5 marks, 9 tackles

Flower is a familiar name to those in the know, as the grandson of late Melbourne champion, Robert. He was outstanding for Eastern in stifling conditions, first down back and eventually in midfield. His competitive nature and willingness to scrap for possession saw him earn the positional switch, ending as the Ranges' top ball winner. Flower is just as capable as a run-and-gun type, entrusted with kick-in duties and driving his legs on the rebound. On Saturday, the bottom-ager's hunt and repeat efforts were the standout.

No doubt he WILL be drafted in 2027 but not a snowflakes chance in hell he will be a Dee🤢

Um in the best players again this weekend at Eastern Rangers!

Dees will definitely have Jett on the list of future ones to watch already.

judging by how well he has started his underage campaign, i don't think we'll be alone there in marking his name on the whiteboard

It’s irrelevant,but does he barrack for the Dees?

Of course, we took Weid! The Filth were spewing but I reckon they dodged a bullet.

Draft Watch: Grandson of Demons icon stars; Blues prospect in top form

Tassie's Jake Beams in there, too. Tasmanian (Launceston) Ben's grandson or great nephew?

Grandfather-son of a club legend rule!

'Balls', you'd be interested in the chat on this in the separate thread about your grandson!

@Demonland, recognising what will evidently be unfolding in the next handful of years, could the Flower and Grinter threads be merged into a 'Watch on the descendents of the 80s/90s cohort' thread?

Father Son recruiting rights is a rule I love.

I would definitely support an extension of this rule that led to descendant grandchildren of players having the right to nominate their grandparents club if that was their desire.

sounds a likely prospect

from memory, the taswegian franchise can pre-select a # of underage prospects - i wonder if flower may be one
