OK have a stab in the dark

I've obviously just done this to highlight the fact we have at least 9 potential superstars under the age of 22 so indulge me

If everything goes well injury wise, Jack Grimes WILL one day win a brownlow, and yes at Melbourne. You can bookmark that one. :)

Grimes for me. The boy is on an unwavering trajectory towards superstardom. You can take that to the bank.

That said, Frawley, Morton and Trengove are pretty good bets to be stars too. And I expect I will be saying the same thing about Scully and Watts in a month or three.

The others should be very, very good players, but probably not stars. Jurrah could be anything, but I suspect he won't ever be consistently great enough to be a superstar. He will be the excitement machine - the cream on the superstar cake that is the 2012 Demons side.

Trengove over Grimes... with Frawley taking the bronze only because he's a defender. Watts and Scully will prove interesting though. The others will be a notch or two below.

Trengove, I think, will be the best MFC midfielder I've ever seen. maybe will ever see.

Scully. Saw him play for Vic Metro in carnival last year. Ridiculously dominant, a ball magnet with lightning reactions. As he finds his feet in the big tent, and the confidence that comes with it : disposals and decision making, your jaws will all be dropping. Remember he has played only 3 games with men over 18.

My heart says Scully but in reality we have a plethora of options. Any one of Grimes, Watts, Morton, Scully or Trengove could be elite, we really are in a great position.

Something about Trengove though really stands out, this kid is going to be an absolute star. But disregard Watts, Scully, Grimes etc at your peril.

I'll say Watts. He needs some support. No love for him here.

He is all out of support among the Melbourne faithful. I'm the only one in his corner. ;)

But he hasn't done anything yet. There are a small number of people saying he was a mistake, but most of us are waiting until he proves his worth one way or another.

watching grimes coming out of the backline is pretty special...the game he played on didak was fantastic...

considering the last few brownlows have been midfielders...grimes would have to be a great chance as a defender/mid...last few years they have introduced the hands in the back rule that has made it even harder for defenders...

as it stands today grimes will be the best.

Mistake ? What would they know ?! They would be the same people that question everyone and everything and specialise in backflips.

I'm sticking fat with JW.

Just little 'ol me in his corner, along with JG, LJ, JF, CM, CS, JT, TS, and the entire MFC. :P

I'll join you in that corner. The potential that Jack Watts has is ridiculous.

But like everyone has already said, there's a dozen players that could become stars, and that's whats so exciting about the Melbourne football club right now.

Trengove at the present looks like he really could be a future superstar.

Hoping to maybe add Sam Blease to this list too.

Give it a couple years and we might finally have some players to include in Mike Sheehans top 50. Has been a while. Not that anyone rates his opinion though.

You Obviously do.

It's all guesswork/gut feel. Once Scully finds his feet I reckon he'll be the tough midfield general. Trengove is smoother. I love both and rate them higher than Grimes, which doesn't mean that I don't have love for Grimes, but I believe the other two are better footballers.

In order:

Scully, Trengove, Watts, Morton, Grimes, Blease

anybody else having Jurrah withdrawls? as exciting as the last couple of weeks have been imagine if WW had been around? Haven't heard him mentioned much actually, we seem to have forgotten a bloke that is a proven natural born football genius

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
