West Australians Morton and Palmer among the stand outs in the beep test. Both are top five draft candidates and these results won't hinder their prospects. The Tigers are said to be interested in both he and his brother Mitch who wants out of the WCE.

    We can only hope. If Richmond take Morton, then I'd be fairly confident that West Coast would take a WA boy. I'll take one Trent Cotchin please. Be happy with Palmer, failing that.

    get on chris kangars!!

    he should go to north (due to the name) but have seen him play in geelong, is quick, tall, agile, and can actually play footy!!!

    might be a good late selection

    once again...pretty poor performances in the old beep test. Hopefully, they can do well in the 3km time trial.

    Bit harsh Freak. If I could do 5 i'd be stoked... never mind 15. What is considered good these days? Or are you just saying that very few got a really good result?

    nah. i'm no mottram but i got 16.2 for it. if only i could kick 6 goals 1 instead of 1 goal 6 against saintsational. I do believe that the draftees beep test is harder because the 3km time last year of 9minutes 37 seconds or something...is really hiking compared to their beeps. who knows.

    Give me Cale Morton, or Rhys Palmer. I dont care either all!

    If I can get 14 and I'm a goal umpire - I expect these blokes to be doing better than 15 really...

    I would be expecting 16.9's. And their 3km time trials should all be under 10 minutes.

  • Quote

    it either speaks volumes for kreuzer or it speaks volumes for the standard of this draft, but if a potential ruckman can be only 28 seconds from winning the 3km time trial something is wrong.

    you're right freak, id expect under 10 minutes, at least from the top few. maybe they've hard a hard carnival? players are getting talked up but their fitness doesnt seem to be elite.

    maybe the trend this year is towards footballers not athletes?

  • Quote

    looks like palmer and morton are the standouts for endurance.

    I still like the idea of a mcginnity (tagger from WA), or Dangerfield as a smoky (pacy and good size). This Gourdis guy could be a good forward, fastest sprint over 20m and biggest vertical leap!

    How do you measure a beep test? What is it recording?

  • Quote

    If he's still around at pick 21 I reckon we should have a good look at Joel Smouha. From what I can gather he has played a fair bit of ruck, but probably isn't quite tall enough to be a career ruckman out of himself at 196cm. He could be a good proposition as a KPP. Needs to get some meat on him (only 80 kegs atm), but from all reports (that I've read) he has some talent as a footballer, as well as as an athlete. Perhaps in the mould of an Andreijs Everitt (who played some good games for the Dogs as a tall wingman this year). Seems like he'd be worth a punt with our second rounder.

    Am I mistaken, or is Trent Cotchin still out with a broken ankle? If so, he could be the real gem in this draft, similar to Selwood of the 06 draft.

    I notice he is still sitting out, so one would assume his ankle is still pretty bad. Outside morton, kreuzer for testing, there is not much to smile about.

    Endurance and speed. It's a series of 30m (I think?) 'sprints' which start off slower, then increase in frequency as the levels rise. Think of it as a shuttle run up and down a basketball court with shorter and shorter times to make the 'shuttles'.

    he is on crutches at the draft camp...

    Showing ur age there RL.

    Anyone who went to high school for the last 15 years would've done a beep test.

    Cale Morton is doing his chances no harm.

    If we could somehow land Morton or Cotchin, we will be laughing!

    i wish they did a 5 metre sprint, or even 3 metre sprint...i think that is as relevant as 20m sprint...and i also wouldnt mind seeing a rating on kicking distance or accuracy, but is this putting too much into draft camp?

    Cotchin... yes. Morton... Not so yes. From what I've heard he (Morton) is a very nice, long kick, but he epitomises the outside player. We got smashed in the clearances this year, and with junior approaching the twilight zone, the situation will only get worse. We need somebody who can use the ball, definitely, but we also need to be conscious of the clearances. Palmer is the man for me, assuming Cotchin is gone; Quick, good left foot, goal kicker, and able to tackle and win his own ball as well.

    Also, Deanox, I have a feeling they do do a 5m sprint... I'm sure I saw something about it in the Hun today.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
