"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!

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
