I know someone who did quite a lot of leadership work at Melbourne this pre season. He does a lot of this work in sporting team, not just AFL. His advice was back in February if picking a Captain Lewis was miles in front of others and one of the best astute leadership candidates he had ever seen. happy to have him as a Demon.

So the Footy Dept might be prepared to bet one of our 44 list spots on a guys with 5yrs development, about to enter his prime in footy, clearly a talented junior and has played some good footy in seniors. He fits our age profile. Expect a lot of bombers to play improved footy once they get out and the saga ends. Would have been an appalling place to develop as a youngster, much like Melbourne in 2010-2013. I'm know more or less excited by him than I was Harmes, Hunt, Bail, M Jones, Pederson or Lumumba when they came onto our list. A few have added real value, a few stink, but if we get him for pick 40 that's fine.

Is he a bit like Bell at Carlscum? Big bodied mid who came in late and now looks the part.

Loved it, great video MFC. If Vanders had been taken at pick 2 instead of Petracca right now I'd be very satisfied with the scouts and recruiters......to think he comes as a Rookie pick 2 is extraordinary! Wow MFC, just wow.

Very excited after my first view of him at training, wow I reckon we have a serious gun on ours hands that we have wanted for so long. Fantastic recruitment in 2015 Demons, headlined by this guy.
