Delisted Essendon player Andrew Lee has been reported on Demonology too be going to do a pre-season with the Dee's.

And is Colin Garland's cousin..... But I thought they were all cousin's down in Tassie?

I dont know alot about him. Except he is injury prone, is 196cm, 94kg and look's a bit like Dean Brogan. Not sure on the last one!

He might be worth a punt if very cheap!

Would surely be worth drafting as a rookie. Possibly even through the PSD or as a late national draft pick depending on the people that are available. Personally I'd like to think that Warnock, Ray, O'Keefe or Prismall may be available in the PSD instead.

He definately won't be picked up in the National Draft by us. He is more likely to come as a Rookie selection or as a late PSD draft selection, I'd personally favour a rookie listing given his injury woes thus far.

Just a little more on Andrew, I saw alot of his junior football when he played with the Burnie Dockers but mostly with the Tassie Mariners, in which he was captain and easily one of the most dominant big men in his 2 years, being used initially in a defensive role but then as a key lead up CHF.

He is a extremely athletic for 196cm and was 4th overall in the agility testing at his draft camp. He has a strong pair of hands and generally picks the right option by hand and foot, not unlike his cousin.

The down side have been his injuries which have restricted his chances at the top level. When he was fit and firing in 2006, he was dominant in Bendigo's side and was promoted and played well enough to suggest he had a future in the 4 or 5 games he put together before he was injured and didn't return.

Like I said, he couldn't hurt as a rookie selection to see if he can get his body right.

Ah so now you guys agree with Andrew Lee.

I posted this about a month ago and got my head bitten off. I did say he is going to be good and I know Colin and he is not his cousin deetention.

You are in actual fact wrong Demon_Tingles.... Andrew Lee is indeed the cousin of Colin Garland. Colin's father who he has nothing to do with is brothers with Andrew Lee's father, thus making them biological cousins.

haha prbably because he is right footed mate

AFL players SHOULD be more than capable on both feet.

Any 22 yr old that we'd think of drafting would need to be, at least...

Does he now.... and you saw this where or you based it on 1 AFL game when his left foot found an opposing player?

Watch his games for the Mariners in 03/04?

How about any of his games for Bendigo?

He's a terribly one sided player who knows he can't use his left, so he tries to checkside everything with his right foot.

He was also the recepient of one of the greatest bakes I've ever seen between a Coach/Player last year vs. Nth Bullants. Knights ripped into him.

whatever MFC does in this trade period/draft period will be for the good of the club. they will select/get players who they think will be good... they are more experts than us, so no one can say he is [censored], unless they work as a talent scout or footy list manager/operations manager.

I liked what I saw with him but if he really is as bad as people say then there is no point getting him. Anybody that tall and built is worth it but if you want someone with minimal risk look at nathan grima. out of contract as he was only on one year rookie .. worth it .. http://www.kangaroos.com.au/TheClub/Player...09&typeid=1

Being able to kick on both feet should almost be selection criteria for this club. I'm sick of seeing Green, Bate and others who kick exclusively off one foot (Yze was another), get themselves into sticky situations and mess things up because they just can't kick at all on their non-preferred.

I know it's not easy to do that, but if it came down to a toss of the coin, if one player could kick with both feet they'd get my vote.

    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.
