Melbourne has two players Sam Blease and James Strauss, from the 2008 draft yet to play a game. I believe they got draft pick 17 and 18 respectively. So the assumption is they have talent. Both have been out for much of the year with injury. Can anyone confirm if they are going to be 100% come start of pre-season? Both are young blokes with a pretty good background. Should we be seeing them come the time pre-season comp?

Ummm how did he slip down to pick 17? Not sure how much he got the ball in the U18 champs but he looks greattt on the highlight reel.....loves a running goal. Has the quick sharp movements likes Scully. Sorry this isnt new to anyone lol.

blease looks pretty slick. just hope he's right for the start of pre-season. looking at this guy makes me think we will take a key position player with the second pick...ie.., butcher

I'd watched both Blease and Strauss on YouTube at the start of the year, but I'd forgotten how good these two looked! I can't wait to get them both out on the park. Give them both full pre seasons and they could add class and pace to our midfield. I just hope Blease doesn't loose any of that electrifying pace, as a result of his broken leg (it was a leg not a shoulder, correct?). Imagine, adding Scully and Trengove to those two, plus Grimes, Sylvia, Bennell etc. Suddenly, pace, skill and great decision making.

Mr 'knows-nothing' Morton - you seem to know nothing about our current players..ie., Sam Blease...how can you then say we shouldn't take a KP with our second pick?

your probably going to educate me on best available now...and then i'm going to say you don't have a crystal ball...

If there was a standout key position player, we probably would take a KP, but there isn't, so we'll go with two midfielders.

What the?

I admit I am of the Younger age bracket around here but your use of Mr 'knows-nothing' Morton phrase is what my 7 year old cousin would say.

Why was that taken so personally? Looks like someone has used the Crystal ball line on you before?

Maybe it was the Disco Biscuit thing? if you realised what the means you wouldn't take it to heart buddy.

Yes I have not seen any of Blease, care to tell me other players I know nothing about as you seem to know ?

Anyway it's all good fun around here, you might want to relax and take down that defensive barrier that someone else has created.

If there was a standout key position player, we probably would take a KP, but there isn't, so we'll go with two midfielders.

Yerp.

The media is saying scully and trengove...as do most people on this site. but it's my perception that many people on this site only know of the players via youtube. myself included...

happy to take the first two standouts...scully and trengove...so i guess pick 18 will be best available KPP.

There we go ;)

You would have to assume if we do go with these 2 then pick 18 would be KPP.

I have seen a couple of games live of Matty Panos for Norwood in the reserves and he looked Ok. His body looked quite big considering his age. He takes a really good strong mark, although the few games I have seen he had limited amount of the ball. Still I would be happy to take him at 18.

yes

And you don't see how that's funny when your telling me to check up on my player knowledge?

Trengove Hopefully for pick 2. Can't wait to see Blease in 2010 along with Scully.

Its funny, as a young kid it used to always fascinate me the way my dad and other men knew the numbers of players and I wondered how they managed to know them... did they spend hours studying the numbers, memorising in case of some bizarre exam?

Now I reckon you could name just about any player from the last few decades & i'd be able to tell you their number off the top of my head, as with most people on this forum.

(its not that funny)

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
