    I'm still not sure why we needed "your" collective summary when we already have individual threads on each of the players.

    I think its a good thread personally Neita. It may have legs. Much like Sheahan's top 50. :lol:

    The input on the thread and for each of our new recruits is gathering. I'm not sure where you are coming from, Nugget's done a good job, and he can update it as the info comes in. Easier than sifting through 15-25 threads on our picks.

    Here's a new article not yet on the draft page

    Thanks for the link on Strauss, melbman.

    Nugget.. Sam Blease reminds me of Nigel Lappins run & carry with the Lions. Apart from looking like a Daniel Ward. He seems to have the skills to match a N.Lappin, or even a young David King from the Roos a decade ago. I think he can play tall too, unlike a Brent Harvey.

    I always liked King.

    Any word on Moloney? Obviously we tried and failed to draft a tough middy that get's his own ball. Kind of sounds like we aren't to confident about Moloney getting back in the swing of things anytime soon.

    Blease looks like the absolute steal of this draft - Moves well, great acceleration, wins his own ball and excellent footskills. Can't wait to him in the red & blue!

    Totally agree, with the speed of today's game, I cant believe he was still there at 17.

    There is one player he reminds me of in the footage, however I'm not prepared to jinx things.

    Hopefully he can turn his 15 possession games into 25s, which I'm sure he will as he's only young.

    25 from Blease with his speed and disposal will = 40 from anyone else in coming years.

    i dont know if that's the case

    in 2005, moloneys first year at the club, he came third in the best and fairest (i think)

    when he is not injured (which is mainly due to bad luck in his case) moloney can be a very valuable asset to melbourne

    Oh yeah I'm not saying he hasn't got it, I really think if he could've stayed on the field since we recruited him he might be the heart and soul of this club by now.

    I love that he's a D's man and that he has shown in his actions off-field with the kids that his priority is to help the club move forward. When we get him right he will go straight back to being a weapon..

    If anyone is going to clean up Juddy down the track, it'll be Moloney, and when he does I might need to change my fav player.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
