I live up in the country and have heard strong words that we're very interested in Dean Putt, the Calder Cannons second ruckman who played a lot of the year on the HFF and killed Kreuzer in the semi final. No, this is not [censored], his family have said we're among a few clubs that have been talking to him heavily, I would think we'd pick him up with our 3rd or 4th round pick, thoughts?

    Because I'm sure the other clubs recruiting managers are all currently ensconced in Demonland, taking our every word as gospel. <_<

    Greg Miller maybe...

    With a name like that the kid will probably make a good golfing partner for Jeff White.

    Dean Putt – Calder Cannons

    Ht: 202cm Wt: 90kg

    Junior position – ruck

    AFL position – ruck

    Tall athletic ruckman who can push forward and take a mark. Is a left footer and his kicking is pretty good without being outstanding. Had some games where he had a heap of hit outs but others where he didn’t fire at all. Doesn’t always do a lot around the ground but he is very agile for a big man and his pace is good. Proved to be very dangerous up forward in a number of games.

    Strengths: Pace and agility; Ability to push forward and kick goals; Marking

    Weaknesses: Doesn’t always work hard enough around the ground; Should win more hit outs than he does; Kicking can be dodgy at times as far as hitting targets goes.

    Question marks: Is he able to find something and improve his around the ground work?

    Draft Prediction: Pick 30 plus. Someone will take him and hope he can find a few gears around the ground. His ability to take a big mark up forward makes him attractive.

    Stats: Averaged 14 possessions and kicked 23 goals in 18 regular season games. Averaged 10 hit outs in those games.

    Dean Putt – Calder Cannons

    Thanks for the info.

    What was your source (if not your own observations)?

    202 cm and only 2nd ruck at Calder Cannons!? Who was their 1st ruck and tall was he?

    202 cm and not a key position either - must have had small opponents if playing HFF - I've got doubts about this guy.

    Guys with his type of height and stats and much better rating have failed before him .

    Have you seen him play?

    Has talent, killed Kreuzer in the hitouts in the semi final and kicked 5 in a match earlier in the year.

    EDIT - I don't know who the Cannons first ruck was sorry

    Putt's got ability but he'd take time to develop. He's got more talent than Neaves ever had, I can tell you now.

    PS I ain't bias because I don't know him personally, but have heard through a friend of a friend.

    I'm pretty sure McEvoy was the Cannons 1st ruck, and he'll be top 20.

    Putt's got ability but he'd take time to develop. He's got more talent than Neaves ever had, I can tell you now.

    Geez it's a tough crowd here sometimes. I didn't think what you said was so bad. I'm scared to give an opinion sometimes because you never know if people are going to jump down your throat or support you.

    But what you said does make me wonder - if you (I don't mean you personally) were a talent scout and you saw a guy look great the couple of times you saw him but the stats aren't so great, what would you do?

    Only going on what I was told by someone who saw the game mate, did you see it?

    That's because everyone has a different opinion.

    I would gamble on him with a late pick if I was a recruiter, which is the area of the draft Putt would end up in if he does get drafted.

    i would do my best to get my hands on tapes of games. or have a chat to people who will have seen him regularly, coaches officials etc. perhaps even get down to watch him train, you may pick up some reasons from there

    • 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.

      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?
