    According to CAC, he's very good overhead and tough as nails.

    :lol: pretty sure clint bartram is a current clint bartram, don't think a player who has played for one year can be looked at as bringing the cornerstone for future players at a contemporary level

    MELBOURNE – KYLE CHENEY

    North Ballarat Rebels, VIC, Medium defender, August 25 1989, 184.6cm, 86.2kg

    Cheney looms as a fascinating player in this draft. There has been some speculation he could be taken as early as No.33 by Port Adelaide and he has also been linked with West Coast, but the Eagles are out of the meeting by pick No.22. Melbourne looms as Cheney's most likely destination with one of its later choices. It may opt to select him at No.53, but otherwise it should be able to claim him here. Cheney is rated by some recruiters as one of the top prospects to have come through the state-based screenings this year.

    Awful last name, I'll be refering to him as KC for the rest of his career.

    Just can't stand D!ck.

    Let's get busy, KC.

    Sounds good.

    If you don't like Dick Cheney then don't even bother about checking out the Jack Grimes who infests the American political scene. Just be glad that that our versions are playing football.

    By the sounds of CAC, he may be the next Nathan Brown/Matthew Whelan whom I would be happy with. When I read he was a medium defender I was a bit disappointed (as we already have Bell, CJ, Petterd, Bartram, etc.) but reading about his hardness has changed my mind.

    When we think about it, we have just lots of 2 running defenders in Brown and Ward. Whelan is slowing down due to injuries and only has a year or 2 left. CJ will never mate the grade imho. Pettard and Bartram and both expected to move into the midfield in the next year or 2.

    Bell, of coarse, is an absolute gun.

    So a hard nosed small defender in the mould of Matthew Whelan is actually quite useful if we look 2 years into the future!!!

    Cheney becomes a Demon by Matthew Hillard

    MELBOURNE Football Club officials have told Warracknabeal's Kyle Cheney to relax today and tomorrow before he embarks on a professional football career on Wednesday.

    The Demons selected Cheney at pick number 53 in Saturday's AFL draft. They want him in Melbourne on Wednesday but the 18-year-old is still grasping the life-changing fact.

    Family and friends gathered at Cheney's Warracknabeal home on Saturday morning as the draft commenced.

    Nervously they waited as 52 player names were called out; 53 proved to be the magic number.

    "All the family was there and a big cheer went up when my name was called out," Cheney said.

    "But it still hasn't sunk in. I had a few mates around our house and some family and friends last night, but I'm still trying to get over it."

    Kyle's father Michael said the family was now busily preparing for their youngest son's departure on Wednesday. "It's a huge thing, and we're all sort of trying to come to terms with it," Mr Cheney said.

    "Kyle's a good level-headed kid, he keeps everything pretty much under wraps, even though there was a lot of expectation put on him.

    "But getting down there will be an eye-opener for him; he'll probably realise he's one of them once he's there."

    Hey, maybe he'll be the next Kyle Cheney?

    When asked to explain MFC's draft strategy CAC replied:

    "We'll take the best red-head that's available at the time"

    B)

    I thought we were meant to be the Redlegs not the Red-heads?

    Just joking, best of luck to the boy. Hope he turns out to be a decent smoky pick.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
