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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

    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
