Hamish Hartlett looks like a genuine Top 5 pick on his first half performance performance. Admittedly SA are annihilating NSW/ACT but boy does he look the goods so far. Moves well in traffic, works well around the packs and gets clearances, but he also uses the ball beautifully. Few players in the AFL would be able to kick a drop-punt as technically sound as that one (you just watch it spin).

Also impressed with Schoenmakers for SA (though he is yet another mid-sized player, at 189cm, that you wonder where he will end up long-term). Lewis Johnston has size and ability. He's missed a couple of sitters but generally been very impressive with some strong grabs and intelligent leading.

Also been impressed with the NSW/ACT captain, Mitch Clisby, and Josh Bryce, who is doing his best to hold back the red tide with some strong marking and good distribution.

Agree with you there Diablo.

He's also very apt at kicking it between the big sticks.

Does anyone know when the replays of the games are being televised on FoxSports?

Sometime next week I believe mate. Might be Thursday. You'll probably be able to get highlights at least on bigpond though.

I've decided Hamish Hartlett reminds me of a right-footed Simon Black. Has a happy knack of getting his arms free in the tackle and then dishing the ball off to a team mate in space, and attempts (with degrees of success) alot of the deft kicks that Black manages to pull off. Seems to have tremendous vision, with just a little bit of polish required on some of the more fancy things he tries. Had 24 possessions and kicked a long running goal from 50. Best on Ground.

Josh Bryce continued to impress for the Rams in the 2nd half. He went forward and kicked a couple of goals, showing he can play pretty well at both ends.

If you were competing, you'd love to have a good game on this big stage.

In terms of draft hype, so many fans are going to judge players purely on their performances today.

Watch the boards go into meltdown if a guy who has a quiet day today is picked up early in the draft :P

Watching the 1st Qtr of VIc Metro - WA has made it painful....

Who do we take with our pick assuming its #1

Natanui - Looks a giant and has so much scop

Rich - Looks classey and has pace, gemuine ball magnet

Watts - Looks damaging up forward with a beautiful kick, a genuine KPP

We will get a gun player regardless but it so hard to decide......

So much will depend on Robbie Warnock....

Other gun players i noticed form the earlier games were Hamish Hartlett from SA (Resembled Simon Black with his disposal)

and #11 from Tassie look classy. a 6 foot genuine midfeilder with great disposal and ball winning ability.......

It's a painful conundrum but a welcome one none the less.

At the moment Vic Metro 65 WA 28 mid third term

For me, Rich clearly looks the best player of the potential No.1's at the moment. Has fantastic skills, ball-winning ability and work ethic. The only question I would have about him is speed, but I don't place huge importance on raw speed for inside midfielders like him. But I wouldnt be at all disappointed if we picked him No.1

Naitanui is playing quite well. He has unelievable potential as everyone says. His first two tap-outs straight were breath-taking. He has an amazing leap, speed and agility. As good as he is in the ruck, I'd love to see him play up forward. Obviously still has a bit to learn, but I can't see how we will overlook this guy. He could be anything, even if he has a few chinks right now. Also, we are screaming out for exactly what he offers; a ruckman, a marketers dream and a player with unlimited versatlity.

Liam Pickering commented before the game that he would take Watts with the Number 1 pick. I can't see that happening. He's a full forward, Looks a good prospect and has a great set shot, but there's no way we'd pick him over Natanui. Also, a player called Vickery? has kicked 3 goals for VM today and looked just as good a target.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
