these were the names in an afl.com.au article about NGA prospects listed for this seasons intake
i remember all the fuss at the time was about riak andrew's ommision
The Melbourne NGA covers parts of NT (Alice Springs) and it has a Victorian zone as well. Luke Morrell is from Beaconsfield, Buay Duac plays for the Dandenong Stingrays via Seaford/South Mornington.

I look at the selected team and wonder to myself how they could ever have left Jake Bowey out of the side?

Smith and Verrell were doing running around the boundary and as far as I could tell the only no shows were Salo and Lingers.
Question - which Smith?

I wonder when some of these height and weight measurements are done. The height and weight stats for some players varies markedly, especially for key position players and ruckmen.
The player in our range who impresses me is Busslinger. I have the feeling that, provided he recovers from his surgery, he could walk into a key defensive position more readily than a Jefferson into a forward line, even at Melbourne. If the club does experiment with Petty as a KPF then Busslinger might be worth a try.

Not yet but the paperwork that will get Bobby Hill to Collingwood is being prepared at the moment.

It’s a Catch 22 situation. If he performs to a high standard, someone else will draft him in the first 40. If not, then he’s available if we want him.
Where’s the incentive to develop young players if other clubs gain from the fruits of our labour?

Jay Lockhart - going to Southport
Zac Foot - going to Southport
Corey Stockdale - to Norwood SANFL
Corey Machaya - local footy Cora Lynn
Jack Hutchins - off to Mansfield
Two of the better Stingrays in 2021 Clayton Gay and Bayleigh Welsh are off to West Adelaide SANFL
Seems many youngsters want the guaranteed game time rather than the limited or unlikely call ups to Casey
Looks like it’s Matt Buntine plus the likely returning group of White, Munro, Grey, Sparkes, Freeman & Goonan.
Don’t forget Corey Ellison.

There are 72 picks left (less any that might be passed on). Plenty of horseflesh to go under the bridge.

Howes is said to be under strong consideration by the Giants who have been constantly linked with Mac Andrew.
Who would take Andrew if not GWS?
The supporters of other clubs on various other online sites I’m reading are only lukewarm about him are more interested in the more popular midsized players in the draft.
Gold Coast, Fremantle, St Kilda?

True.
And if you dont like the player who will be available at your pick, then you try and trade the pick up or down the list.
But it’s not a matter of whether you like the player but whether you’re making your selection decision based on picking the best player available. That’s no longer the case when people talk of selecting on needs alone or on a vision of what a player might be three or four years down the track.

We may be able to game the system if Mac is still available at 17, which will be 19. Bid on Fahey so GWS match, then we have pick 20. Select who we want then Mac can be bid matched. Very unlikely he is not gone by then though.
I don’t think that’s a likely scenario because by 19 GWS doesn’t have any picks left to go before 20 anyway. There’s also a chance that GWS won’t match themselves.

I'm guessing we aren't making room for Andy Moniz-Wakefield by the looks of it and now seems Taj Woewodin may also miss out on a spot.
By leaving out Hore and Declase, we will have room for Taj Woewodin. Depending on how things pan out in the draft, we would also have scope to rookie AMW as a Category B but he’s more in the long term speculative development mode.

TRAINING: Monday 25th March, 2024
in Melbourne Demons
Posted
So who to believe? I think former Melbourne doctor Peter Brukner is advising against Lever and May coming back too soon while the Demons appear to be pushing for them to be back playing asap. These are two major of the club’s major assets and we have two games in five days. Caution is warranted.
