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

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
