He's an absolute gun. Admittedly I didn't see much of him when we played West Coast, just as I didn't see much of him the week before when he played in the VFL, and yet his possessions and Supercoach stats are always extremely high. Maybe a move to the middle when we regain our injured defenders? Who knows, but it's exciting considering we have Bennell and Grimes and Frawley and Garland running out of our back-line...

Has footy smarts, and can read the play well. Good kick on him too. Shows leadership qualities. Required player.

you missed tough as nails for a young player as well! For me thats the most exciting - his attack on the contest!

Yeah, contrary to the misguided posting of some, and the particularly nice aspect is that he seems to have no preferred foot.

In a crowded midfield this often means an effective disposal rather than a desperate handball to a team=mate under the hammer.

I get the feeling that Grimes will be that special type of player (throughout his career) who steps up when the team is going bad and can turn things.

John Worsfold type? But better.

He's only played 2 games but is already an automtic inclusion in our side when fit, that's why he came back in to side even though he didn't do an awful lot for Casey against Coburg the week before, it was just about him getting match fit. With Grimes and Watts developing and having players like McLean, Moloney, Miller, Rivers, Green and Davey on our list we are looking very good as far as leaders and potential captains for the future go. Add to that the potential recruitment of Scully and hopefully Dylan Grimes aswell at pick 18??

it also seems as if another player could enter the top 3. allen christensen from geelong falcons. He averaged 28 touches, and over a goal a game and is half aboriginal by the look of him. looks like daniel kerr. hard at it too. he was mentioned by shifter on 'tac stars on the rise' as the best player in the tac cup in his opinion. big wraps

Did hear about him on sunday to. Maybe if we come 15th only winning 4 games then we can look at him at pick 3. Scully & Christensen in the midfield would be nice to see.

I discussed Butcher and Scully with a prominent player manager on Sunday. He's not sure where Butcher presently fits in the draft but in his opinion there's Scully, a big gap, and then the rest. Said that if he ends up at Melbourne he'll Captain the club at a young age. Will be an absolute star.

At the risk of taking this thread off topic the two best kids this year may well be midfielders, Morabito and Lucas are over in the West look very good. Next time you talk to him ask about these two please.

Christensen seems like a gun. Shifter also mentioned that Christensen is related to Long and Rioli, so fair pedigree (I think his dad played for Geelong?). Was BOG in the first 3 rounds of TAC, and 'just' good in the other games too. Wouldn't be displeased if we nabbed him.

I'll try to remember, but I suspect he won't put them in Scully's class. His exact comment was "Scully is the best kid in Australia. There's Scully, a big gap, and then the rest".

I knew he was highly regarded but I didn't realise that the gulf was that big, this just reinforces my belief that we cannot afford to win more than 4 games this season.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
