Luca Muratore - He played one good game for us and then got injured early in the 2nd game against Werribee and hasn't played since.
dog town seemed to think he was a standout for Airport West before coming to Footsctay.
Anyway, he didn't nominate for the draft.

I was surprised that Doc was given another year. He was good against Essendon after the VFL stint but against a good team he lacked the pace, sharpness and capacity to respond under pressure he once had in droves. I don't doubt his work ethic or commitment but he must know its time to switch to full-time coaching.
The sooner we have options to choose for his spot the better.
Voss looks like a contender.

Cooper Herbert
Calder Cannons
Age: 19, Height: 189cm, Position: Forward/Midfield
A player who attracted a lot of AFL interest late last year, Herbert is an athletic medium forward who can also have a run in the midfield. He has been taking marks and hitting the scoreboard for the Cannons on a regular basis in the early part of this year. Herbert also kicked 3.1 from 15 disposals and six marks in the second Young Guns game earlier this month, putting a bit of his X-Factor on show. “He makes good decisions, hits the scoreboard and is hard to stop in the air for his size,” Calder Cannons talent lead Seb Spagnuolo said. “He plays a bit taller than he is.”
Ewan Mackinlay
North Adelaide
Age: 21, Height: 182cm, Position: Midfield/Forward
“My take is that someone will take Ewan because he has lots of AFL attributes and upside in regards to the way he plays,” former North Adelaide coach Jacob Surjan said. That is as good of a sign as any that Mackinlay is being tracked by AFL clubs. The former Murray Bushranger has captivated onlookers with some freakish snap goals for North Adelaide and can also go through the midfield, averaging 16 disposals, six score involvements and 92 SuperCoach points per game. He was impressive at Gather Round against the VFL with 16 touches, five inside 50s, five tackles and a goal, and he was named as an emergency for SA’s loss WA on Saturday.
Zac Walker
Gippsland Power
Age: 19, Height: 191cm, Position: Defender
Walker was added to the Power list as an over-age player after strong form in the West Gippsland league, where he kicked 13 goals in 16 games with nine mentions in the best against men for grand finalist Phillip Island. But it has been down back where Walker turned heads in his first two games Power, with his reading of the play, strong hands overhead and footskills standing out. Walker clunked eight intercept marks among 10 total intercepts in his Coates Talent League debut and followed with another seven marks from the opposition and 12 intercepts in his next match. His hot start earnt him a Young Guns opportunity, where he had 12 touches and four rebound 50s against Vic Metro.

It does look like we have cast a wide net.
We have been linked with 2 more names
Zac Walker and Cooper Herbert being added to the list.
Sellwood, McKinlay Raso, Banch and now we've apparently run the ruler over Walker and Herbert.Leave a comment:

Seems we have a lot of players on our radar. Anyone realistically think we take 2 players, not sure any club has ever done that?Leave a comment:

Jackson Voss (Son of Brett) has been in good form this year. If we were looking for a Duryea replacement he might be worth considering.
Frankston VFL
Age: 23, Height: 183cm, Position: Defender
Dolphins coach Jackson Kornberg describes his left-footer as a “territory-taker’’. The son of former AFL player Brett Voss kicks the ball a l-o-n-g way and is as tough as cheap steak. Last season he finished third in the best and fairest, averaging 20.8 disposals and 4.8 rebound 50s. “Off halfback, his ability to drive his legs and that powerful left-foot kick … I think he’s trending in a really positive direction,’’ Kornberg said of the former Sandringham Dragon, who has played an important role in Frankston’s rise from the lower rungs of the VFL ladder.

Massimo Raso
Richmond VFL
Age: 19, Height: 171cm, Position: Forward
The Western Jets graduate burst on to the VFL scene at his first chance, having 19 disposals and kicking two goals in Round 1 against Coburg. His second outing was even better – nine clearances, 24 disposals and three tackles. Raso is only 171cm but he’s had a big impact for the Tigers, showing speed, smarts and skill and a nose for the goals (he had 12 after six games). “The front and centre specialist, he’s going really well at the moment,’’ Tigers coach Jake Batchelor said after Round 6. “He’s taking on feedback around his defence as well as crumbing patterns and he’s putting them into action straight away.” Massimo played his first game for the Jets as a 16-year-old and finished second in their 2023 best and fairest. Last year he played more as a small forward.
