    I think it's going to be impossible to get near him at family day as everyone will be flocking around him! That's if he's there.

    When I stood next to him at this years family Day at Luna Park, there was hardly anyone around him. He was handballing with some kids. At the time, I thought how is this guy going to go in his first year.......Wow. Now we all know. He is a freak (in the best possible sense with ball in hand or by foot).

    Go Jurrah

    Go Dees!

    Just interested in everybodys thoughts as to who will win the best 1st year player. Think it has to go Jurrah although Bennell and Jetta have shown a bit also.

    Who else could it be.. Geesus :lol:

    Jurrah might just be the best 1st year player ever!

    (Even tho Buckleys 1st year was a beauty- for different reasons, Dan Rich too whos 1st year, this year, was very similar to Buckleys..

    Id still pick Jurrah ahead of them to be in my team.)

    As Grimes only played one, token game last year to give him a feel for the pace let's ignore that and call him a first year player.

    Grimes is 20yrs and 3 months.

    Jurrah is 20yrs and 11 months.

    So in maturity and development levels they are pretty comparitable.

    My question is, if we only had room for one of these two on our list which one would you keep?

    50 /50 I reckon. Probably Jurrah just because of questions over Jack's back.

    Bennell really needs to go to the weights room this summer,

    same with Jets and LJ.

    Grimes is going to be a gun but I would prefer Jurrah he's the most exciting player with have ever had. Anyone who doesn't think that Jurrah will win the Best First Year Player Award by a country mile has rocks in their head.

    • 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.
