Finally made his senior debut after four years in the system. Showed promise as a mid-sized forward in two senior games. Was pushed back down the order when Watts and Jurrah returned to the senior team - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

    Depth only.

    Showed he was capable, but we have far too many ahead of him that play the same role.

    Can't see the point in keeping him, I'm afraid.

    Good to see you finally managed a couple of AFL games Danny.

    That you managed even that was pretty impressive after all this time.

    A Guy who averages 10 to 12 marks a game has something many others don't.

    He must begiven even more time to bring this asset to fruition. Maybe simply a positional issues. Try him on the backline.

    Gone.

    If my understand is right, he is either to be elevated or he is gone and he cant be re rookie.

    Gone. (And I dont mean No 37 either.)

    Sadly, Danny was plagued by injury throughout his years on our list. He was never able to string a reasonable number of games together, and probably never realsed his full potential. Unfortunately I think the end is now nigh, and Danny will depart Melbourne without leaving the same mark as his more illustrious namesake.

    Agreed. Hughes was/is definitely an exercise in persistence, and he came so close to making it. Not every story can be a fairytale though sadly.

    Well put. Danny Hughes has done just about everything he possibly could to make it in the AFL but a succession of injuries cruelled his chances. I think he also had some limitations with his athleticism but managed to cover them with his strong marking and good awareness. In another era he might have made it but I think time has now probably run out for Danny.

    • 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.
