Could he become a clint bartram??

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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
