Im very keen on knowing how blease and strauss are going.

Someone already has started a thread on blease wich is good.

Whats the news with him hows he been going in the twos?

FRom what ive seen our top 3 pics are the least ive seen of but IMO hoping to be the three most important players to helping us get to that premiership.

Any news would be very apreciated.

    I believe that's what they call a "knee-related ankle injury."

    he's got the right build, but he is struggling with the physical side of the game atm

    Really looking forward to seeing this kid in action. From what I saw last yr, he's got great kicking skills and good pace. Exactly what we need.

    How is he struggling with the physical side of the game Mclean4Brownlow? As in he is panicking when about to be tackled and therefore rushing his disposals? Or he isn't going in hard enough himself to get ball?

    What do you mean, tackling side of things & knocks to the body? I hope not. I understand he's young, but these attributes are pre-requisites for playing AFL. Please, please, please be a good pick 19.........I'm now having visions of Zaharakis' match winning goal against Collingwood thanks to your post.

    Like you HT, I wanted us to pick Zaharakis.

    Yeah I wanted Swift or Zaharakis. Strauss has an amazing kick on him though, would have thought we would have seen him by now.

    Worth watching the youtube highlights to remind you what we are waiting for.

    Struggling with the physical side, as in, the problems holding him back are injuries and fitness.

    Even Whelan is playing in the Casey 2s coming back from injury -- does he not go in hard enough??

    • 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.
