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

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
