Jack Trengove. He will become the best player in the competition at some stage. Absolute gun.

They will all be good though. Scully, Watts, Grimes, Trengove, Morton Frawley. That is the core of our next premiership team right there.

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

I haven't forgotten him by a long way. I just find talking about him makes me sad at the moment as I know that we are missing half a season of pure magic.

As if you didn't choose Grimes.

We can no longer be friend. Such fail! :mad::)

JW.

A power forward with his athleticism, polish and strength overhead will eclipse Franklin.

They all will play pivotal roles in the future, however.

Given the importance of key forwards and the quality of our juniors , if Watts becomes the best of them all we are headed for a mountain of success

Trengove is going to be a superstar. XD

Followed by Grimes who will be the captain. :)

Grimes the captain, Trengove the superstar. Featuring Watts, Jurrah, Scully, Morton, Frawley, Gysberts, Wonaeamirri, Petterd, Sylvia and co...

Sounds effing awesome.

I want an 'all of the above and MORE' option.

Not really to be honest. I love the freakish things he can do, but I'm not sure he can do the mundane as well or consistently as he needs to. This is the area of his game he needs to work on, doing the basics so that when his freak isn't working he still contributes.

fair call, but remember, just 9 games to his name and coming from a background much less privileged than basically every other kid in the comp. These guys have had elite coaching, facilities and general training/lifestyle regimes far beyond where LJ has come from. Compare him to Scully, who has never had a drink in his life and probably spent every day of his life since he was about 13 perparing in some way for his AFL career, under the guidance of the best junior footy has to offer. LJ didn't put on footy boots until he was 17 and had never done a pre-season before this year

I've gone with Jack Grimes, but only because IMO he has the early runs on the board. Isn't it great to have so much potential on our list? I also think Jordie McKenzie will be a very, very good player for the MFC, and he didn't even make the shortlist!

Jordie McKenzie as a smoky-his attack on the ball and opposition players for tackles is so good to see.

big call i say but i am with you all the way i see jordie becoming a cult figure if he aint already, i love his total disregard for his personal safety and his ranga mad streak will carry him through to i feel a long career at the red and blue

I chose JW but could have chosen any of them and you know what? Who cares! They are all DEMONS and we should be happy and proud to have them all in OUR team and watch them all thrive and work together to become a dominant club in just a few short years!

I would have hated having to choose between Scully & Trengove.. it would have been terrible but thanks to the team we are playing this weekend, we have both players in red & blue. I will never forget those last final seconds.. I thought we had stuffed it up and were going to win and then a miracle occured. Jordan McMahon was paid a mark AFTER the siren. Would he kick it??? He hadnt been to flash up to that point and I couldnt watch.

History tells us he got it and not only Richmond were cheering but the majority of Melbourne supporters were too.. me amongst them. It hurt to be happy to lose like that.

Fast Forward to November 28 (?) draft day... Pick 2 Jack Trengove.... Melbourne. Pick 1 Tom Scully.... Melbourne.

All worth it. We will have to thank Jordan and Richmond for many years and the first sign of gratitude is to show them what they gave us with a sparkling performance from Jack and Tom tomorrow.

Noone will be forgetting Jurrah.. he is the icing on the cake... a fairly rich cake with all those names mixed in.

It will be a cake many clubs would be choking on in the years to come -wanting this talent at their club and too bad! We, as a club, have had more than our fair share of disappointment, bad luck and injury and just plain bad footy at times, so we richly deserve to be having our cake and eating it too!!!!!

i see grimes as following in the footsteps of a player like junior. will always give 110%, will hardly ever play a bad game, but for some reason i don't think he will be the 'superstar' type player. don't get me wrong, i think he will be a fantastic player, but i think he will be the type of player underrated by everyone isn't melbourne.

i picked frawley. i think he will be an absolute standout. being a defender he might not get rated as 'the best' but he will be the fletcher to the hird, the scarlett to the (insert geelong midfielders here) to silvangi to the williams/kouta etc.

if defenders get equal recognition, frawley will be our best.

I think Watts will eventually be another Carey, or as someone said more like Royce Hart. Now that puts him in the elite elite.

The thing I like about Jurrah is that extraordinary touch of brilliance - the abilty to do the impossible. Few footballers have it, and it is what brings fans through the gate.

A forward line made up of Watts, Jurrah, pettard and Morton will be unstoppable. Indeed an exciting prospect, all of them will be in Sheahan's top fifty within three years along with trengove, scully, grimes, davey and maybe even jamar if he keeps improving at this rate.

I cannot believe you left out the SUPERSTAR OF THE FUTURE--- MAX GAWN.He will also break Neita's records.(for most games- most goals) whilst another forgotten player is Wona-Wonaeamirri will be back with vengeance.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
