With pre season training beginning tomorow i heard that Daniel Hughes has been asked to do a pre season with us. After missing the whole season with a groin operation. I hear they are fairly keen on him down there. (heard from people at sandy)

Do we know anyone else that is going to be training with us?

Usually some of the delisted players also keep training with to.

Haaaang on...

Is this the same Hughes who was a rookie, then a second year rookie, then dropped from the list after sustaining an injury? If so, that's an interesting call. Perhaps a PS pick there for a 21 year old... a la Big Stef.

While we're at it, where's Neaves gotten to? Oh... and has anyone seen Van Sheik or whatever his name was?

I allways saw a talented kid when I saw young Hughes, skinny, but skilled, in the air, running & below his knees.

Because obviously the club sees something in him that you clearly can not

It's a tad annoying that you come on this site and make smart comments on issues that you clearly don't understand as a non-supporter of the club. Not the first time you've done it. Anyway, end rant.

Dappa's already covered why this is odd, but I'll go over it anyway. Short story is Hughes already spent two injury plagued years on our rookie list in 05/06 and then after showing stuff all and being delisted, spent 07 on the Sandringham list not getting on the park due to injury.

To me, and probably most others around here, having him train with us (presumably with a view to monitor him for draft purposes) would be flogging a horse that well and truly died about three years ago.

Take a Bex, and have a good lie down. ;)

shane neaves is playing for west adelaide along side ryan ferguson and nathan doggie brown. intresting they finished last this year?

Van sheik well.. played against him last year when he was playing for wangeratta magpies and to be quite honest he probably had about 5 disposals for the whole game :wacko: you would have never thought that he was on a afl rookie list.

You just described Jason Porplyzia.

I thought that Hughes showed something when he was at Sandy, and if he has got his body right, is worth another chance. Or at the age of 21, we won't consider him because he won't be there for our next premiership. B)

Actually was a rookie in 06/07 and injured all of this year. We might have promised him another opportunity to do the pre-season when he recovered and are just fulfilling that promise. I wouldn't read much more into it than that.

Yeah a few errors with post including the years was 06/07 and 06 wasnt injured that much and played most of the season including a bag of 6 down here in tassie!

And this season he was recovering from surgery i think the club told him not to risk injury.

But mainly give the guy a chance!!!!!!!

Dont bag players that could be drafted! Some people are just sad really

I rate him perhaps a notch or two above that... but only enough to give him a rookie spot again, since we'll have a few going. I saw something in him when he was here last, and thought he'd be retained.

Fro those who have forgotten.

Daniel Hughes

AFL Club Melbourne

(Rookie List)

Guernsey Number: 38

Height 186cm

Weight: 82kg

Drafted: 2006

AFL Debut:

Date of Birth: 10 December 1986

Former Clubs: Hampton Rovers

Sandringham Dragons

Sandringham Zebras

Daniel Hughes enjoyed a good year in 2006, and was retained on Melbourne's rookie list for another season. He continued his development in the VFL, and is a clever medium/tall forward who has shown he has the ability to play in a number of positions. He is quick off the mark, and possesses good hands with a huge vertical leap. Has enjoyed a good pre-season and will be raring to go for 2007.

Can't hurt to have a look.

I remember SEN broadcasting the VFL in 2006 and Ox giving him the nick name 'Skunk' because of a very dodgy bleached mullet thingy haircut. :lol:

From memory he was not far away from getting onto the senior list with the form he was showing.

Go Dees - Building for the Future.

I umpired Danny at Sandy reserves a couple of times last year, and thought he led really well and had some good strength.

Absolutely no harm in having him train with the club. If they don't see anything they can leave him be, but otherwise, give the kid another crack.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
