Correct - Newton and Miller are not going to be our long term permiership winning power forwards

With Aussie, Davey and Watts we have a young fast, skillful and exciting forwardline to bring some success, having unearthed some real good up an coming key backman the forwardline has to be our focus, I'd like to see Robbie warnock in the red and blue next season also, bye bye White thanks but your time is up

Hey guys, just so you know Wonaeamirri ain't that speedy (perhaps he is what he eats?).

It annoys me when commentators and others propogate this notion, presumably on the basis of his racial background.

I still love to see him play though. (just not running 40m sprint times, or kicking 40m+ for that matter).

Hazy, thank god you said it, because i've been saying it all year.

He chases hard, but that does not make him quick. He has good ball skills, but that does not make him necessarily flashy.

Sick of the quasi-racism behind the "aussie is lightning quick" movement.

Last week on the radio they were talking about Farmer having a quiet day, "Farmer has been quiet today, but so has Aussie at the other end" :huh: Aussie wasn't even in the play.

It creeps into everyday footy speak, and i personally don't like it

I have been away for a month, and haven't been able to post.

The last time I left it was Naitinui ahead of Rich, and now it is unequivocally Watts.

To be perfectly honest, I don't think it matters with the first 5 boys picked. They are all talented and its a shot in the dark to decide which 17/18 yr old will become the better player.

So go with the Vic, makes sense.

whoever we do get is likely to take at least 3 to 4 seasons to adjust to the game.

going from u/18s to senior football is a big, big step, and one that most players - the likes of judd excepted - need to take that time.

we won't see whoever we pick at their best until at least 2011 i'd imagine.

I watched the game on TV and I'm sure I heard one of the commentators call him a speedster. What idiots.

At least they won't have anyone with whom to draw inapproporiate comparisons with Naitanui!

(sorry to go off-topic I am also excited about the prospect of Watts in our forward line (after he has had time to develop of course))

david zaharakis;

from vic metro.whether bulldozing through packs or run and carry with a high turn of foot

this kid is a budding superstar. built like the preverbial outhouse and will make an impact immediately.

he was co; captain of vic metro,made all australian on the wing.

in the final against WA.he knocked up taking possessions nearly 30 by 3/4 time ( all except 1 hit a target) where the game was well won.he was rested in the last as he was stuffed.

he has pinpoint accuracy ( no turnovers from this kid )..not to mention his PASSION after a goal was kicked by teammates or after the game.

he must have been doing weights for a while so you won't have to wait 3 years to mature.like watts who is in need of a few years to develop in the gym;

read my lips DAVID ZAHARAKIS will have a cult following within 2 to 3 years. with leadership qualities.

he is a future possible captain of any club..!!

as far as the next greek adonis is concerned. MOVE OVER " KOUTA" HERE COMES "ZAHARAKIS"

i can hear the chant now.would look fantastic in red and blue.!!!

others to shine; and worth top ten.would be happy with;

"mitch banner" blonde bombshell running mid. or forward. from vic metro also top class but didn't make all australian but 28 possessions..

"clansee pearce" from WA. back pocket is built big time !!and ready to go NOW !!!

consistant delivery & relentless.. nearly 30 possies..made all australian.. class act !!!

natanui only showed glimpses of exceptionally leaping qualities and came into game in the last 1/4 when game was dusted.

needs maturing ..

"WEST COAST" ARE TANKING TO GET " DANIEL RICH" (HE ONLY MADE INTERCHANGE IN ALL AUSTRALIAN)

AS A REPLACEMENT FOR JUDD. ITS A LOCK !!!!

COME ON MR PRENDERGAST TAKE "ZAHARAKIS"

Disagree with your opinion on Miller, from what I saw in the first quarter against Freo, puts your claims to shame..

just say jack watts live at a school boy match...

he played ok, he got manned up on pretty well and had good opponents

took a couple of good grabs but his kicking was not great at all...i think he kicked 0.3

hard to tell but he has a good pair of hands

that just one match, but after seeing that i dont think i would want to take him if we had the first pick

Saw the schoolboy game today. Every time he got a 1 on 1 or a 2 on 1 he marked it. Marked pretty well but had 4 on him all day. didnt do too badly considering the mass of opponents on him. Would be dissapointed if we didnt take him. Kick 1.4 which wasn't great but is usually a magnificent kick.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
