Humphrey is a jet. I love the smooth moving Edmund also

I really like the look of Humphrey.

 

[frizzle]

Reid & Cadman are a handful up forward.

 

[Sticky Daics Pudding]

This game is a cracker!

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Ashcroft to Harvey. Woweee.

 

[gouki88]

Ashcroft is a protected species, free kick whenever he gets near it

He dives a lot. A true professional!

 

[satanshoof101]

Anyone know if I can get the stats from the nab game today?

[Jen2310]

Trailing by five points deep into the final quarter of a dramatic title decider against Vic Country at Marvel Stadium, Jefferson continued his fine Championships campaign to put Metro back in front before Harvey iced the contest with just seconds remaining.

It sealed a thrilling 12.8 (80) to 10.13 (73) victory for Vic Metro, with gun midfield pair Will Ashcroft and Elijah Tsatas also providing recruiters with one final look at their immense potential with starring performances.


Ashcroft, who is tied to Brisbane under father-son rules but is widely considered the likely No.1 pick, finished his stellar season with 29 disposals, five clearances and 10 inside-50s in a best-on-ground display.

He was awarded the Larke Medal for the best player of the 2022 under-18 championships, following in the footsteps of Sam Walsh

and Marc Murphy, among others.

Meanwhile his midfield partner Tsatas, who had recovered from a fractured foot earlier this season to also push into contention as a potential top pick, won 30 disposals and five clearances.

Jefferson, a 195cm key forward who had pushed into top-10 calculations with a seven-goal haul against Western Australia earlier in the campaign, kicked two goals including the pivotal late match-winner.

Vic Country's bottom-age prospect Harley Reid, who is already seen as a pick No.1 contender ahead of the 2023 draft, played across half-back before pushing forward in the final quarter to help put his side into a winning position.

Reid kicked two last-quarter goals to complement his 19 disposals and seven marks, with 196cm key forward and potential top-five selection Aaron Cadman bagging three majors including the decisive goal that had put Country into its late lead.

First-round hopeful Oliver Hollands won 23 disposals and seven marks to emerge as Country's best midfield prospect, while Jaxon Binns (21 disposals, one goal) and Bailey Humphrey (11 disposals, 1.3 goals) were also impressive.

Is someone taking the P155 with those?

 

[gouki88]

Is someone taking the P155 with those?

O'Keeffe took 2 contested marks - therefore BOG

 

[Aussie pie]

I can tell you exactly who we’ll take. A mid sized utility with no great talent or tricks and an undersized mid with no pace but has a great attitude.

 

[Jen2310]

Haha don't shoot the messenger

 

[PMBangers]

O'Keeffe took 2 contested marks - therefore BOG

Humphrey only kicked 1.3, must've been Anderson's defending rather than his poor shot on goal!

 

[Jen2310]

Humphrey only kicked 1.3, must've been Anderson's defending rather than his poor shot on goal!

Of course. you are only as good as your defender haha.

 

[stormskye]

Just look for versatile in scouting notes

 

[Vinnie Vegas]

What are you taking issue with here? I genuinely don't even know.

 

[PMBangers]

Just getting irrationally outraged at the AFL.com.au bests for the Metro v Country game, you know, normal stuff

 

[Jen2310]

Only two pies are mentioned with in this article..

Oliver Hollands (Vic Country)​

Midfielder, Murray Bushrangers

H: 183cm W: 73kg

Rating: 8.5/10

Draft range: 10-20

Clubs who would suit: Carlton, Fremantle Sydney, Collingwood

Hollands looks to be moving up the board closer to where his brother Elijah was picked at the Suns (pick seven), with his final display of 2023 capping a strong back-half of the season. The smooth-mover, who has been thrown all over the ground this year, was stationed in a full-time midfield role and led the way in the engine-room for Country, finishing with 23 disposals, seven marks, six inside 50s and six tackles. Was quiet in the final term but was everywhere early, racking up 11 first-quarter disposals and using the ball well on both sides of his body.

Henry Hustwaite (Vic Metro)​

Midfielder-defender, Dandenong Stingrays

H: 194cm W: 84kg

Rating: 6/10

Draft range: 8-20

Clubs who would suit: Collingwood, Sydney, Essendon, Hawthorn

Worked his way into the contest with a high quality second term after a slow start. Always seems to have time when he has the ball in traffic and regularly found an option by hand, but his kicking was off at times. But we can cut him some slack, given the tall midfielder returned from an ankle injury for the NAB League grand final last week and had just a six-day break for this clash.
