Addam Maric – When he did play, he showed some real improvement, although he has a long way to go. We've been working with him on the defensive part of his game as well. He is a very good kick and he is a good inside-50 player. He showed in his six games that he has class. He just needs to get fitter over the summer to maintain a higher work-rate – Sean Wellman on Melbournefc.com.au

I also had high hopes for this kid - hasn't had a chance to show his skills, in his first year due to school and age, and this year due to injury.

I would see him as a crumbing forward rather than a mid - may be getting a bit crowded in there! Lets hope so anyway.

Im still quite sure that barring injuries this kid will take strides next year. With the likes of Jurrah and Watts around him he ought to get many opportunites to show the rest why some of us rate him highly :)

arguably the most talented on our list, a superb kick and vision is great.

Off the radar for a while, he just has a real poise about him that I like.

He will have that breakout year as soon as he gets his body right. He is quality.

Another of the list of recruits previously drafted who have not played a lot - Blease, Watts, Strauss, Wonna to name a few.

How are we going to give them all a run and put in Trengove, Scully etc for a run in 2010?

good times ahead.

I see him being a very dangerous forward line player, similar to a Porplyzia/ LeCras or maybe even a Steve Johnson.

His set shots bit disappointed with this year, which we hope he will be one of the best in the comp, he has great skill and decision making.

Plus he's one of the hottest players on the list. Premiership player no doubt.

I see a bit of Aker about him. He is good overhead, kicks well, reads the play and has a nice burst of pace. Whether he works as hard as Aker did to get where he is today is another question. High hopes for Addam.

A slow start to Addam's career, but with limited opportunities he has shown glimpses of why he was taken fairly high in the draft (good poise and balance, disposal and looks for the best option). Not sure I see him progressing to the stellar levels that some posters above have earmarked him for, but if he can add consistency to his game (I recall a couple of 'shockers' in '09), improve his engine, and continue to work on the defensive side of his game, I think he can be a very good player for the Melbourne Footy Club. Next year will be a very important year for his development.

Slow start but I have great ideas for this kid.

Great skills and balance.

I want this kid to be able to run 15k a game and become a fantastic inside/outside midfielder.

I think he can be an elite mid.

Yep. The balance is great. He'll stay in more contests that most players and that alone is gold.

This is where I have him pencilled in, and I think this is far more likely than an inside/outside mid.

wow there is a lot of love here for a kid that hasnt done or shown much. that quote is a pretty damning assessment from the coaches.

he has talent obviously but until he shows it, he is no different from any other youngster on the list.

currently not top 22, and is still someway off given his performances and where the coaching staff see him at.

    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
