    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

    Strauss relieved to be a Dee

    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 REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
