  4. Forget all that. Just kick the bloody thing through the big sticks.
  5. The final game of the championships was anticlimactic because SA wrapped them up so early in the piece. Vic Country ended up taking second spot with a comfortable victory over their Metro cousins who were disappointing. VIC COUNTRY 4.4 | 6.7 | 9.8 | 14.10 (94)
 VIC METRO 2.2 | 3.6 | 6.8 | 9.10 (64) GOALS:

  6. A few players putting their hands up for next week. Obviously, Aidan Johnson but also Blake Howes has been impressive and Ricky Mentha Jr is standing out with his pace. Spargo and Laurie might also come under consideration with big second halfs.
  7. Vic Metro are coming good after a disastrous start to their campaign. Plenty of NGA talent in this game which unfortunately, isn’t of much interest to the Demons. ALLIES 5.2 | 6.4 | 10.5 | 13.8 (86) VIC METRO 4.2 | 10.4 | 16.4 | 20.8 (128) GOALS: Allies: K. McNamara 3, C. Collins 2, T. Prindable 2, D. Annable L. Carmichael, R. Hamilton, B. Kane, H. Kyle, J.

Taylor Aussie Rules Rookie Me CentralScouting Notes: 2025 AFL U18s - Allies vs. Vic MetroThe Allies were unable to claim victory in their final game of the National Championships after being dismantled by Vic Metro on Sunday.
  8. The game is taking on a similar shape as last week’s game. A few points down at quarter time, a great first ten minutes of the second term and then nothing till half time but still 5 points in front. They need to be on song from now on.

  13. The championships come down to this game. SA are definitely in the box seat. Here’s the preview - Aussie Rules Rookie Me CentralPREVIEW | 2025 AFL U18s: Vic Country vs. South AustraliaVic Country is the only side left standing in the way of South Australia claiming its first Under 18 National Championships title since 2018.
  14. So, at the wedding which was held in Flemington, I offered a Carlton supporter a lift home. He declined and left early saying he had something to do first. Now I’m worried - was that a can of paint he was holding?
  15. I’m at a wedding tonight and half the people here are Carlton supporters. This is bliss!
  16. Those were the days …
  17. Tenth on the ladder. If they keep that up, they make a wild card finals appearance
  18. Made the Team of the Week again …
  19. SA’s grip on the title tightened even further at the weekend with its demolition of WA. SOUTH AUSTRALIA 4.5 | 7.8 | 12.12 | 17.14 (116)

  20. Aussie Rules Rookie Me CentralVFL Player Focus: Kalani White (Casey Demons)Nostalgia was in the air as Melbourne father-son candidate and Suns Academy member Kalani White made his VFL debut for Casey Demons.
  21. This game was played on the Saturday of Queens Birthday Weekend in 1979.
  22. A ripper from Kings Birthday in 1990 when there were less umpires and they didn't have such a great influence on the outcome :)
  23. Also damning is the combined scores of the two teams at the weekend. Demons 17.26.128 to Pies 18.12.120
  24. Noah Yze was among the best players for Oakleigh Chargers in their win on Friday evening against the Sandringham Dragons. Here’s the report from Rookie Me Central (note the comment on his disposal which might explain what he has to do with his game to be drafted)
