"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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
