Alright - its time to think three years time - who is going to be the Next Big Thing.

I'm going with Jeremy Howe. He will be Robbo mark 2 except he has already shown he is prepared to do the little extra team things that may have been missing in Robbo's game ( no disrespect Robbo - you were great !).

To make it interesting - outside our beloved Demons - who in another club is the NBT - out of left field - Harley Bennell.

Who is your next big thing ( both MFC and other)?

We haven't really had a "big thing" (i.e. genuine superstar) in donkey's years. However, I would be extremely surprised if Jack Watts isn't taking the [censored] out of the competition in 3 years time.

Agree that a dark horse could be Jeremy Howe.

From the rest of the comp, I think Dustin Martin is going to be something very special for the Tiges.

IMO Watts has the most potential to be a superstar. I think him, Trengove, Scully all have the highest potential to become elite. Smokey's for elite status IMO would be Blease, Gys, Frawley, Garland, Grimes (in that order)

Frawley will be remembered as one of the all time great defenders. He will only get better, especially as he matures (mentally).

I have seen nothing of Gysberts to suggest to me that he will be the next big thing. There, I've put mine on the line!

Zac Smith should win the Rising Start this year. I made the call half way through their first game against Carlton tha the will be a superstar of the comp - wont be out of place being mentioned in the same breath as Sandilands.

He'll still be a bit green...but im looking very much forward to Jack Viney exploding on the scene. Heres an express train, bull at a gate , waiting to happen. :)

Im figuring hell be leaving no one in doubt as to his credentials or belonging.

The best player in the AFL in 2014 will be Tom Scully.

If he's with the Dees (which I think he will), then NikNat will be the NBT from elsewhere.

If he's not, then Jack Watts will be the one to tear it up for the Dees.

And the one player I'd really love to see crack it big time is Majak Daw - it would open the floodgates.

If Frawley is not already regarded as elite I'll eat my hat. I truly would not prefer a defender in the competition over James Frawley to lead a premiership backline. The only slight weakness he has is his kicking.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
