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?

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 hope your wrong about taking a KP with our second pick Disco Biscuit, I mean Demon.

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...

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.

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)

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
