"A lapsed Melbourne supporter, the young forward said he was more likely to watch a St Kilda game these days, to see Nick Riewoldt go about his work."

a lapsed supporter... what the hell does that mean!

    means that as a kid he couldn't bear to be the only melbourne supporter at school

    Sad state of affairs

    It means he was a Melbourne member, until, like most afl prospects, he realised he'd likely have to give away his allegiances at some stage, so he did.

    Nothing more.

    Along the lines as that crap term MFCSS or similar?

    It hurts that # 1 pick threads are back again. I thought this forum was past that for the next decade.

    He means he loves watching footy but got sick of the dribble we served up so he moved on.

    If, as suggested, he's just going to leave anyway why would GWS give us pick #1 for him? They could have Scully and Patton and we'll get some dinky compensation pick that will be used well after this bloke has been snapped up.

    You're suggesting that we trade a kid who we know is going to be a gun for this player I've only just heard about?

    No way, Scully is the best prospect of a Melbourne player being a superstar since Allan Jackovich (who did not become one due to laziness, booze and girls). I don't rate Lyon as a superstar, the closest we have had in my life time is Flower but you can't become a super star if you play for a team that almost always finished in the bottom 3.

    Why because you get excited by a 196cm 97kg kid dominating 18 year olds.

    Will need to look at him play but recruiters need to be careful with Tom Hawkins types where they are too big and too strong for their opponents.

    Yes TH makes JW look like the recruit of the century.

    He is probably not Robinson Crusoe

    My daughter did the same at 12.

    Still ribs with " why do you still follow that bunch of cream puffs" 21 years later.

    This kid is the real deal, first time I saw him play he bagged back to back goals from 50m out on the boundary. It certanitly left an impression on me and he has managed to step up this year with massive expectations. Looking forward to seeing him in the U/18 champs.

    GWS bound. Best not even entertaining the idea of getting him.

    • 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.
