2024 Marsh AFL National Championships
Whispering_Jack replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
If there was a surprise with the selection of the All-Australian team then the omission of Vic Metro midfielder Josh Smillie who is projected to be close to the No.1 pick in November's draft. He’s an impressive 195cm tall and recorded 16 disposals and eight clearances in the final match against Vic Metro. He also captained the Australian Academy team in two matches against VFL sides. His omission is probably for no other reason than the fact that there were so many mids in contention. -
Another article from the Herald Sun on line edition which is probably only available for subscribers. This one is about the many players across the AFL who are left without contracts for next year and asks about their fate. Will they stay or will they go? Josh Barnes looks at Melbourne’s list as follows:- “Unrestricted free agents: Tom McDonald, Jake Melksham, Adam Tomlinson, Marty Hore, Joel Smith Non-free agents: Ed Langdon, Josh Schache, Oliver Sestan, Kynan Brown, Kyah Farris-White, Andy Moniz-Wakefield, Ben Brown Plenty of questions around the Dees as the season carries on. Older players like Ben Brown, Adam Tomlinson, Josh Schache likely go. Ed Langdon will sign a new deal soon and Jake Melksham wants to earn one in the next couple of months. Does Tom McDonald go again? Youngster Andy Moniz-Wakefield should get a new deal, while surely Joel Smith will drop off the list. This masthead revealed last week that young backup ruck Will Verrall had committed to a new deal, while surprise forward Daniel Turner has also inked a new deal. Lachie Hunter has a contract in place for 2025.” Barnes then gives his views on which of the uncontracted players will remain at the club in 2025 as follows- Signing on: Langdon, Melksham, Moniz-Wakefield Holding fire: McDonald Going: Schache, Smith, Tomlinson Retiring: B Brown In the air: K Brown Hore Faris-White Sestan I think Kynan Brown will stay and there’s a good argument for retaining every one of the three “in the air”. Of course, there might be additional list changes as a result of possible trades and it’s Interesting that Lachie Hunter is mentioned given that he’s not getting a game at AFL, having been passed by a couple of the club’s young guns on their way up.

Whispering_Jack replied to Demonland's topic in Match Previews
The teams are in and so are the umpires. No doubt @Redleg will be pleased that we going to have the company of his favourite umpire # 25 😀 -
True, but Charlie’s a nice bloke so …

Charlie Cameron has won his appeal against the 3 week suspension imposed by the AFL Tribunal on Tuesday night. He’s free to play against the Swans on Sunday.

Where do these jackasses masquerading as “journalists” get off with their gaslighting the Melbourne Football Club? Clayton Oliver is a little over halfway through his career and yet, has already been winner of the Keith “Bluey” Truscott Trophy for Melbourne’s club champion for an equal number of times (four) including in our only premiership season in the past six decades. We can run our club and look after our own when they’ve gone through tough times without taking advice from the clowns on that program who quite frankly need to be better at their jobs than they are at trying to be sensational. Had they been doing that, then they might have noticed how well Simon Goodwin has managed his player given the difficulties he had to face over the second half of last season and the disrupted preseason he endured this year. Clarry’s still important enough for opposing coaches to find the need to put heavy tags on him and sometimes it works. Mostly, it doesn’t because Clarry is that good. The simpletons on Footy Classified somehow managed to miss how Goody kept him on the bench in the early goings against the Bombers (he had only one touch in the first quarter). Yet by half time Clarry had added 10 possessions to his tally and by the end of the game, he had 25 disposals (75% of game time) which put him at the club’s equal third ball gatherer behind Ed Langdon (100%) and Trent Rivers (67%). Sure, his disposal efficiency was down but it was wet and someone who plays the way he does at a frenetic tempo is never going to hit every target. He gained 392 metres on the night, second only to Rivers. Not long after the siren, it was pleasing to see who Goody was embracing and slapping on the back. Clarry of course because his was a significant contribution to the team’s win. I’m looking forward to more and better from Clarry over the rest of 2024 and even more so in the years to come when he’ll be able to put in the hard yards over the summer time, add a 5th & 6th Bluey and maybe a premiership or two and we can sit back and watch Cormes and co eat humble pie over their stupidity.

This is an article written by David Johnston which appears in the Weekly Times Jim Sandral was one of the greatest players in the Ovens & Murray's 131-year history. Read about his remarkable career. Ovens & Murray: Corowa and Rennie champ Jim Sandral passes away, aged 91 Jim Sandral, one of only seven official legends in the Ovens and Murray league's 131-year history and a member of Melbourne's Olympic Games year VFL premiership team, has died, aged 91. Sandral grew up on a family farm at Buraja, north of Corowa, attended boarding school in Sydney where he played rugby league at St Gregory's College. But his return home to life on the land in 1948 coincided with the start of a truly great country football career. Sandral first played for Rennie where he earned the wrath of the umpire in his first match for wrongly wearing his rugby league boots with steel stops. After only eight matches with Corowa, Sandral was picked to play for the O&M. The long weekend carnival held in Albury consisted of three games in three days and Sandral was best-on-ground in two games and second best in the other. North Melbourne guaranteed him six games the following year, but Melbourne had the inside running courtesy of former player Ken Carlon, who had coached Rennie. Sandral flew from Corowa on a small plane for a midweek training session with the Demons in July 1955 before returning to play for Corowa the following Saturday. Although he found it difficult to break into the powerful Melbourne team, Sandral had the greatest respect for legendary coach, Norm Smith. "He was one of the hardest men you'd meet," Sandral said in 2021. "Whatever he said went. No one could backchat him." Sandral played 15 matches in 1956 including the second semi-final and grand final wins over Collingwood. Sandral didn't stay in Melbourne for the Olympics because harvest awaited on a farm near Coreen he had bought. Corowa-Rutherglen's last premiership coach and former Melbourne player Peter Tossol said he had "not met a better bloke in football" Tossol's father and Sandral lived together in the city when they were both at the Demons. "In every game I coached at Corowa-Rutherglen, Jim would walk in the changerooms 15 minutes prior to the start of the game," he said, "He would just stand at the back of the room and this presence provided so much comfort to me and the players. "He wouldn't need to say anything, but he made you feel good. "I am so sad he is no longer with us. I could always go to Jim for advice and I often did." Sandral returned to play for Corowa in 1958 and was appointed coach. He won the first of three Morris Medals the following year. Sandral played in only one grand final for Corowa in 1963 when it lost to Benalla. He was also a premiership player, coach and league best and fairest winner at Rennie. In 2013, he became the fourth legend in the O&M Hall of Fame and has been a regular attendee at the annual function that will be held again next week. His son Dennis, who played 333 matches for Corowa-Rutherglen, has also been inducted into the league's Hall of Fame. Jim and Dennis both won five best and fairests for Corowa with Dennis playing in two country championships winning teams in 1985 and 1987. The father-son duo were also picked in the O&M's Team-of-the-Century. O&M chairman David Sinclair said Sandral was a true legend of the league. "His devotion to family and commitment to the Corowa Football-Netball Club and community were limitless," he said. "His humble and selfless leadership, was inspiring. "He was a beautiful man to meet. He will be missed." Sandral had been diagnosed with leukaemia and his funeral will be held in Corowa on Thursday.

Max Walker - Demon footballer and Test Cricketer
Whispering_Jack replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
It was actually Peter Marquis who “discovered” Max playing in a schoolboy footy grand final. Because he was also a handy schoolboy cricketer and Melbourne had that close connection with the MCC, he joined the district cricket team and the rest is history. -
2024 Marsh AFL National Championships
Whispering_Jack replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
WESTERN AUSTRALIA THE STAR: BO ALLAN A standout top draft prospect from Western Australia, Allan missed the first game of the championships with a back injury but impressed with his power and speed through the midfield across the final three matches. The side's captain, the combative left-footer averaged 20 disposals, 3.7 clearances, 6.3 score involvements and six tackles. He also booted two classy goals in the team's third match against Vic Metro. Allan - a Peel Thunder product who has also been part of the AFL Academy this year - had primarily played across halfback in previous years. "He's an absolute beauty, Bo," WA talent manager Adam Jones said. "Just his competitiveness and willingness to crack in and lead the way. There's a huge amount of upside with him. He's only played less than 10 games on ball in his career, so for him to battle out against the best in the country was great to see. He's only going to get better and better." THE SURPRISE: JAXON ARTEMIS A rebounding defender from South Fremantle, Artemis enhanced his draft prospects with a strong championships which led to him being named as Western Australia's MVP. The 180cm speedster averaged 15.5 disposals, 5.3 rebound 50s, 4.3 intercept possessions and 369 metres gained across his four matches, providing plenty of drive forward for his side. "Through the winter program, he just got better and better each week," Jones said. "You could just see his confidence within himself growing and him going 'I can play at this level'. His running and eagerness to get on the end of it just continued to grow. His skill and execution and awareness and composure with ball in hand is outstanding. Some guys that you hope can pop and he was one that did." Supercoach Rankings Name Position Games Average B. Allan Mid 3 85.0 C. Angove Gen Fwd 4 72.3 J. Artemis Gen Def 4 69.3 C.

VIC METRO THE STAR: MURPHY REID All the buzz about Vic Metro's midfield heading into the championships surrounded Josh Smillie, Levi Ashcroft and Jagga Smith. However, it was Murphy Reid that upstaged that trio to take out the side's MVP award. The Sandringham Dragons midfielder was clean, composed and consistent across his four matches as he averaged 24.5 disposals, 7.3 score involvements and one goals. "He's a top-end talent in his own right," Vic Metro coach Rob Harding said of Reid. "The first game in the wet against the Allies, he was the cleanest player on the ground by a mile. He had 30-something and kicked three goals in one of the games (against South Australia). He just kept playing well consistently through this tournament. The thing I love about Murph is every time he gets challenged with another level, he meets it really quickly. He hasn't found a level that has been too hard for him." THE SURPRISE: HARRY ARMSTRONG If there's one game where you want to star during the national championships, it is the clash between Vic Metro and Vic Country at Marvel Stadium which was attended by almost every recruiter in the land. Harry Armstrong did just that. A 195cm forward from the Sandringham Dragons, Armstrong put his strong contested marking ability and accurate goalkicking on show in a nine-disposal, five-mark and five-goal performance. He also booted three goals in Vic Metro's third match against South Australia. "He's played really good school football, but that's at a lower level than Coates League or a national championship," Harding said. "He's just adapted really well through the year. He keeps building and developing his game. I watched him on Sunday, strong hands, big, strong contested marks - which is the strength that he has - and he's a beautiful set shot at goal. On a day when we weren't kicking very straight, he's the one that kicks five straight, and he gives us an opportunity to be in that game to win it." Supercoach Rankings Name Position Games Average H.

VIC COUNTRY THE STAR: HARVEY LANGFORD A powerful midfielder from the Dandenong Stingrays, Langford finished the tournament not only as Vic Country's MVP but also as a joint winner of the Larke Medal. A hardworking contest star, Langford also has a booming kick when he finds space on the outside and can take a strong mark. He averaged 25.5 disposals, 6.3 clearances and 7.5 score involvements across his four games for Vic Country. "He was superb from the first game against SA," Vic Country coach Paul Corrigan said. "He just carried that form through for us. He pretty much played the whole time in the middle. He was exceptional around stoppages and clearances. "He also found a lot of ball on the outside, but also proved on the weekend he's got that aerial prowess to go forward and mark the footy and hit the scoreboard as well. I just thought his whole campaign was super consistent and really impressive for us." THE SURPRISE: JOE BERRY While he didn't necessarily surprise after a strong start to the season with the Murray Bushrangers, Berry's stocks did rise during the championships. The clever 180cm forward from Wangaratta who can hurt opposition sides in multiple ways, Berry booted nine goals across his four matches during the tournament including a 14 disposal and three-goal game against Vic Metro last weekend. "I thought his carnival as well was exceptional as a small forward," Corrigan said. "He's just so lively. He's one of those players that can play deep one-on-one, he can come up the ground. His defensive acts were really good. He's got really good speed and power. He hits the scoreboard, too. The other thing that we liked about him too was we injected him through the midfield at times and he just gave us a different spark at times and that ability to change up what was in there."

SOUTH AUSTRALIA THE STAR: BEN CAMPOREALE Carlton fans have plenty to be excited about after father-son prospect Ben Camporeale produced an impressive under-18 national championships campaign for South Australia. Camporeale was named the side's MVP after averaging 26.8 disposals, 5.3 marks and 4.5 clearances across a very consistent four games. The son of Blues premiership player Scott, Camporeale is clean in the contest, has a good balance between his inside and outside game, brings elite workrate and is creative going forward. "He played as an inside mid for us in all four games. Totally different role," South Australia coach Tony Bamford said. "He was able to impact in contest and stoppage really, really well. Kicking's still a work in progress in terms of his connection with forwards going inside 50, but most midfielders need to work on that. But his leadership, his contest, his energy and drive and his ability to set us up around the contest was really important as an inside mid." THE SURPRISE: CHARLIE NICHOLLS He might not have been South Australia's best or most consistent player of the championships, but Nicholls showed more than a few exciting glimpses. A 197cm key forward who leads well and can take strong contested marks, Nicholls particularly impressed in the side's second game against Vic Country when he racked up 11 disposals, nine marks (four contested) and kicked 1.3. "He played as a key forward in the first three games and then we put him to a key back position for game four," Bamford said. "He runs great patterns. He was clearly a smart forward in terms of knowing where to go and when to go. He clearly likes to run. He's getting up the ground and it gives him an ability to showcase his running power as opposed to staying deep. "He's really elevated himself this year and we're really pleased for him. He's a kid from the Barossa so he's had to travel an hour and a half each way to get the training during the last three months. So he's really committed."

ALLIES THE STAR: LEO LOMBARD The Gold Coast Suns Academy member was a joint winner of the Larke Medal as the best-performed player of the tournament. A prolific ball-winning onballer who can also feature forward or back, Lombard works hard contest-to-contest, is incredibly clean with his hands and skills, brings great energy and can have an impact on the scoreboard. He averaged 26.3 disposals, 4.8 clearances, 4.5 tackles and kicked four goals across his four games. "He certainly caught the eye with his explosiveness and power and I think that's his main weapon, is his ability to be able to break through traffic and get on to double-up possessions through his hard work," Allies coach Mitch Hahn said of Lombard. "He was able to win some clearances but more importantly was able to hit the scoreboard as well. He challenged the opposition defenders to say, well, if you don't go with me, I can hurt you on the scoreboard. He's going to be a really good prospect for the draft with those attributes that he's got." THE SURPRISE: JOBE SHANAHAN A 194cm forward who is mobile, presents well and can take a strong contested mark, Shanahan would have climbed up some draft boards with his performances during the championships. His best game was his last against Vic Country, when he logged 16 disposals, nine marks (four contested) and kicked 3.1 for the Allies. Shanahan has been a regular goalkicker for the Bendigo Pioneers in the Coates Talent League this season, but played for the Allies given he resides in Moama just over the New South Wales border. "From a tall perspective, he was someone who just continued to build and get better as the program went along," Hahn said of Shanahan. "His marking ability and movement around the ground was something that really helped us in that last game against Vic Country, especially to be able to keep us as close as we were. His ability to be able to hit the scoreboard, to work out and bring others into it was important for us. He was a really solid contributor for us across the four games as well."
