From Claremont WA - 179cm 75 kg Midfielder with good kicking skills whose talent is undoubted. Considered to have a big upside.

From Inside Football Draft Special:-

MICHAEL EVANS - Claremont,WA Born: 13/7/92 Ht: 179cm Wt: 75kg "Michael's a smart player who is very creative. His biggest asset would be his game sense playing through the midfield and occasionally down forward. Still small but going through a growth spurt." - Claremont football manager Dean Horsington.

    MICHAEL EVANS

    Apart from the fact he sounds like he should be fronting an 80's tribute cover band, this is all I know.

    Melbourne supporter, likens his game to that of Lenny Hayes. Here's hoping!

    Love the fact this kid gets to live the AFL dream in an extra special way, by ending up at MFC.

    Really looking forward to seeing him play.

    Stats show he got a fair bit of the pill. Up to him to progress- now given the opportunity.

    Yeah and when he gets it Claremont seem to get the job done. Could be a useful addition to our engine room.

    Michael Evans, the sleek, slick-moving Lamborghini of the Claremont colts side, made his long-awaited return to action at Leederville Oval on Saturday, with a polished performance against East Perth.

    His was a highly-encouraging performance before the side prepares for the clash with top side East Fremantle in the second semi-final at East Fremantle Oval next Saturday, writes Ken Casellas.

    The 18-year-old Evans had missed several matches, recovering from an injured hip muscle and he eased back into football in a forward pocket before exploding into top gear when switched on to the ball in the second quarter.

    He was one of the catalysts of Claremont’s solid 55-point victory which gave the side a record of 16 wins from 20 qualifying-round matches.

    Evans, who took 11 marks, had 17 kicks and made four effective handpasses, again revealed his great value by sending the ball into his side’s 50m attacking zone eight times.

    So lets put him in the Casey 2's and see if he can make the ones. If so, lets see if he can crack it in our highly rated senior midfield.

    My bet is we won't see him in the seniors for a couple of years yet.

    He is still young and has time to find his groove.

    The rookies are exciting picks, as our FD have a knack for finding keepers.

    Good luck to the kid, a MFC supporter pulling on the jumper would be a dream come true!

    From memory there was a rule regarding interstate rookies, I remember we had to keep them for 2 years, does anyone know if this is still the case.

    After watching robbo show I have a lot of respect for the kid. This kid has done some real hard yards. Hope he can keep his body together. Got a good head on his shoulders.

    Three years is a long time in football.

    He is lightning quick and was highlight to watch on the weekend.

    Hopefully he becomes a regular, seems to me as a better version of Sam Blease

  • Quote

    I remember the few games he played before his back injury.

    Ball magnet ,pace to burn,nice skills.

    Like Max ,Blease ,Strauss-forgotten about due to LTI.

    Is he named?

  • Quote

    I really rate this bloke.



    His interview on The Robbo Show is first class.



    May not be big names, but I'm expecting small, but highly effective, steps from the likes of Evans, Matt Jones, Terlich and Kent.

    yup, they all seem like a glimpse of light in what is already a dark season don't they? Although we are yet to professionally see Kent.

    He's clearly got the right attitude and is talented enough.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
