Now i know its not very wise to be judging someone who hasnt played a game yet but did we make the right decision to pick up gysberts before a bigger key position player like talia or black? sheedy wrote during the week how a club needs 12 or more midfielders but was it worth giving up a big body who can also play forward or down back? feedback on gysberts form for casey would be appreciated

No.

Gysberts will be a gun.

Sheedy is an old senile fool who is desperate for attention. Remember this is the imbecile who stated that Richmond were capable of winnign a premiership last year, and look how that turned out.

How about Jetta. Ready made Gun. Picking Gysberts was a bit of a risk.

Watch Cameron Schwab's Whiteboard Wednesday videos on YouTube.

I am confident that the Club Picked Gysberts for a good reason-Give the kid the chance to show his stuff before any judgememnt is passed please.

I think the best thing to do is to draft the best available player. I would have taken lucas ahead of Gysberts, but then I would have taken tapscott ahead of both of them.

Agree with every word.

Honestly making judgments now especially in comparison with Brock is silly.

It will be at least 2-3 years before we can properly analyze Gysberts, sure we may see signs along the way but his afl career hasn't even started.

How many games have Talia and Black played? You answer your own question as soon as you quote Sheedy. Whatever he says it is fair to say doing the opposite is probably the smart thing.

I'm stoked we picked Gysberts ahead of Lucas. I suspect we would've taken Melksham if he was available at pick 11, but I think Gysberts will be a gun for this club.

I reckon we nailed this draft.

I am starting to think the expectations towards our draft picks by some posters on here is unrealistic

There are some that will make the grade and some wont so lets just give them some time to develop

I think the enjoyable part is watching kids develop along with the team

You would be amazed how many future STARS spent long periods in the reserves before making their debut

IMO this group of players has more upside than i have seen at Melbourne for many years

We are still 2 years from finals and until then we will have our ups and downs

The very best i have seen a Bailey coached team play was the 1 point loss to Collingwood

Gysberts was chosen and we as supporters should embrace that and support the kid

This what if we picked so and so is not being supportive at all

I have absolutely no problem with Gysberts being taken at 11. Just because he hasn't made his debut yet is no reason to doubt his ability. We find ourselves in the enviable position of having too many players who deserve a spot in the team, and I for one am thrilled with that. I have no doubt that he will get his share of gametime as the year progresses and we'll see exactly why he was rated so highly.

Well said, Swampy! Let's not get ahead of ourselves with our "armchair expert" judgements on the new kids. We have a LOT to look forward to. I, for one, very much look forward to seeing Gysberts making a great contribution to the MFC in the months and years to come. Would love to see the Club well and truly vindicated in their use of the draft pick graciously handed to us by Brock.

    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
