We are impressively inundated with Jack's!!! Why "impressively"??? Because they are ALL fantastic future prospects beyond belief!!! Disregarding Fitz (because he is obviously hard to judge at present), all these Jack's could arguably be in our Top 5 players 5 years down the track.

Vote away!

Like a few said in the other thread Jack Darling could be in that mix. This whole potential 6 Jack thing is starting to get ridiculous, I love it.

And if he does- he could end up the best of the Jack's..

Hahaha. Would be creepy!!!

We could have a centreline full of Jack's soon enough!!! Hrmmm we just need a Jack ruckman - maybe Jake Spencer could legally change his name to Jack; it's close enough...

Edit: Although Jack Fitzpatrick will be a 2nd tier ruckman. Food for thought....

It's certainly a story line to be told grand final day. Will the recruiting staff be feted for this talent scouting coup as Hawthorn were in 08, focusing their attention on left footers? :unsure:

Jack Darling it must be at pick 12. Unless another club is on to us & our strategy :huh:

Edit: I would prefer the OP start the Jack Grimes description with, Superstar & captain in the making. Then maybe a mention of the injury issues. ;)

Jack Grimes for me!

i believe they will be all great in different ways haha :)

Sensible point.

Watts as the big strong KPP CHF - crash packs, take big marks and a booming dangerous kick.

Grimes as a captain prodigy and help glue the backline together.

Trengove will be our tough in-and-under type. Not afraid to get the hard ball.

Fitzpatrick is another KPP prodigy much like that of Hale - forward/ruck.

Viney the ball magnet. Tough and ruthless.

It's what his potential will be...

I have reserved judgment with Fitz at the moment after only seeing tiny bits of his footy in 2010.

USELESS INFORMATION:

In the paper this week, it was reported that "Jack" is currently the most common name for babies. :)

USELESS INFORMATION # 2:

Yes, having a 2 & 1 year old, just been through the baby names. Jack would be top 3 for the past 5-10 years.

Did try the Jack, had two shots at it and the better half shot me down.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
