Jack Trengove.

    Trengove.

    He will take match-saving marks down back. He will take match-winning marks up forward. He will win the ball out of the middle. No-one else will do all of these things.

    +1 (and he's contracted for 2012 with intent to stay longer)

    This is a tricky exercise. If you had said in June 2006 that 5 years down the track, the best player at the MFC would be between Colin Sylvia and Mark Jamar,

    Not by everyone... Y_M would have claimed you were copying him... :D

    I'm going to say Jack Watts. Just can't see how anyone will be able to stop him should he continue to improve the way he has been.

    I thought exactly the same thing this weekend, that him at 70% of how good he can be will still equal 4 goals and Riewoldt-like importance to MFC.

    My smoky is Jordan Gysberts.

    For mine, the answer is McKenzie. He will be as important to us as Lenny Hayes is to the Saints. Nobody says he's their best player, they always say Riewoldt (read: Watts). But it's absolutely no surprise to me at all that he comes out of the team, and they all fall apart.

    So in the Meida, I think they'll say Watts. In the real world, Jordie. Though it could easily be McKenzie, Gys, Scully, Trengove... Depends on what week. :D

    Can see him being given Legend status down the track some time...

    Should he stay, Scully for sure. Trengove, McKenzie and Gysberts will all be top-class midfielders by then, and looking at Jack Watts on Sunday he will be playing like that consistently in 5 years. Frawley and Grimes will be also be as prolific as Scarlett and Enright are for the Cats down back

    Gotta say Trengove. Scully Gsyberts McKenzie etc are all guns, but Jack is just so polished and seems to have such a good footy brain. Love watching the ball end up in his hands. If we had only had one pick in 2009, i'd rather they'd taken Trenners.

    Lucas Cook.

    Why? Because im an outstanding judge of footballing talent.

    Hrmmm.... Jack Viney?Haha.. Nah not yet.

    I will say Jurrah if Watts Howe and Cook allow him to play his natural game by them taking the bigger and better backman. Want him to play a Stevie J role eventually.

    Speaking of Jack, anyone see the kudos on him for Vic Metro this weekend? He's looking very very likely.

      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.
