I'm loving it, The Age think we've got the most talent and best bunch of kids and they haven't even mentioned the likes of Tapscott, Gysberts, Blease, Strauss & Fitzpatrick.

The footy world isn't going to know what hit them when these kids develop along with the names already mentioned in the article. Also there will be one Jack Viney to come in also! :)

    I appologise, only came across it today. Still love the fact we've still got a stack of talent waiting in the wings that the rest of the football world isn't even aware of!

    Nice name drops in the article, but the reality is that is only the tip of the iceberg. We have a stack of kids that are going to be solid AFL players, and even potential stars.

    Gysberts work against Geelong was a season highlight for me. There is something about him the reeks of James Hird. Of all the kids on our list Gysberts is the one that could be anything.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
