Trenners played his first season of footy and is now in our best 22. Nuff said.

I think Trengove and Scully were best 22 after round 1.

Scary to think what Scully's gonna do next year after having a full pre-season and given the competativeness between Scully And Trengove, expect Jack to lift his game considerably too- be interesting to see if the other youngsters follow their examples.

Player review (Mark Williams) from Rnd 22, probably sums up Jack's year nicely IMO. Reading into two lines of a comment is always fraught with danger but it tells me that Jack was probably set back a bit after his injury. Seems he has worked through any issue there to get to the line. It says much about his character if indeed what I am reading into is being read correctly :huh:

Will be a star, all class.

Agree with that. It probably also reconises that, like all of our first year players, he is coming off a (deliberately) restricted pre-season. It's an absolute credit to both Trenners and Scull that they got through the full season the way they did.

Wouldn't worry about JT - will be a star

Will be as good or better than TS. I sense there will be a friendly rivalry here, both are so dedicated to getting the best out of themselves, A bit like having two young Nathan Buckleys

I have a feeling you are right. I think JT is a better kick than Tom.

They both get plenty of the ball and a good kick can be the difference between a good player and a champion.

In two years or so, Scully will be the AFL's elite runner. He's already one of the best. Very few will be able to keep up with him.

I can't understand anyone saying they have zero doubts about Trengove and Frawley becoming elite and then not including Scully on that list.

Maurie I am not sure why you think I do not include Scully as a good player.

All I am saying is I think Trengove is a better kick and in the long term that may be the difference between them.

Just quietly, Frawley has been elite for a little while now...

I just upchucked.

agree but have recently added Scully

When I asked this question in amongst a bunch of dees supporters, everyone had their own take on what it meant to "not worry" about a player. Some of the names:

Watts. He would have nearly made my list, but I'll wait until I've seen what he does with a bigger body before I put him on Frawley's pedestal.

Scully. I just worry about his kicking. He ticks every other box, runs all day and pretty quickly (though I think his top speed actually is a notch or two below some other really quick players). He DOES use his kick well, but past 40 metres there's going to be some not-so-good ones we'll have to put up with. Small price to pay.

Green. A glaring omission. I can't remember a time he wasn't reliable. Though I remember he used to be.

Davey. We've not played finals in so long people forget he hasn't proven himself in one. Also he's known as a player who can be distracted with the right niggle. Form is erratic too.

Jurrah. Up until he came back, I wasn't completely sold. I thought his 9-odd games may have had a fair bit of good fortune. It's not that I don't believe he's capable of Buddy-like performances. I just think once they REALLY start giving him attention he might get frustrated... And based on the last round, it's sure to happen.

Grimes. Kicking isn't terrible, but isn't great either. Again, not a player a "worry" about per ce... But one I can't put him in Trengove and Frawley's class.

Sylvia. His body is now the only thing holding him back. Oh, and maybe a solid tag. Some of his dashes through the guts were Hodge and Judd rolled into one.

    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
