onley under zero pressure again turns it over by foot and they were very lucky they missed another scoring opportunity, right on the 3/4 time siren
9.7.61 to 17.4.106
bonner with the most possessions but of the dees-listed players, amw and mcdonald have had a fair bit of the ball, but amw in particular has turned it over far too often
we have no midfield depth

It would also help the diluting of the talent pool.
i always thought it was bizarre that aflw switched to 16 - the players can't kick as far, the skills aren't as clean, and the women would benefit from 18 players on field as opposed to 16
aflm reduced to 16 would theoretically be a more open game

he just looks so slow by thought as much as deed - his positioning is routinely poor, he doesn't react to the game situation, and his disposal is not good at vfl level, so can't imagine it'll improve at afl level
he looks a long way off it

Without knowing a lot about the system it seems bizarre that a player can come through our NGA but when push comes to shove we can’t draft them
Meanwhile Cochrane can be added to Port’s NGA one year before he’s due to be drafted despite spending essentially no time with the club
cochrane has spent his entire life around the pear - his dad was a player there (not 100 games tho) then a player welfare officer
he's eligible to be part of their academy by dint of recently discovered indigenous heritage

Marcus Prasad is small in stature, but the goalsneak brings the heat with his pressure and can kick goals from all angles.The goalsneak debuted for Vic Country last year and slotted 15 goals in as many games for the Stingrays last season.
<snip>
Like Prasad, bottom-agers Corey Ah-Mu and James Goerlitz are also tied to the Demons’ NGA. Ah-Mu featured for Samoa at the FIBA U15 Oceania Cup in 2024 and is the younger brother of 2025 national combine invitee Tairon.Marcus Prasad is not tied to Melbourne as an NGA prospect despite spending time with the Demons since he was 13, where he has been mentored by Demons AFLW star Tyla Hanks.

Early doors, but draft does look to have some quality. I'm hoping the AFL don't cave to pressure and just make the changes to bidding rules now, will mean Carlton pay fair price for Cody Walker & Port pay fair price for Cochrane.
Even though they haven't been formally confirmed, we've known they were coming for 2 years, clubs complaining about timing are essentially upset that they're not getting as big a free hit as the Queensland clubs.
seems likely they'll be delayed til after tasmania come in

last i heard is that wilson is one of those players who wants to get his big packet before he's got the runs on the board
he looks like he'll be a very good player but not sure he's worth $1m a season quite yet
