I like to think I ask the significant questions on this site...has the Melbourne FC ever had a player called Rory before?

Edit: brain fart.

I got Jeff mixed up with Rory Hilton.

This could be our first Rory, if so it's a fantastic milestone.

Nah nah. Once it's off, it's anyone's property. :D just weird to see it. I had it for probably nearly 2 years. :D

As for the pick... I'm thinking of a Rohan Bail type deal here. Unheralded player, no-one knows anything about him... BP given a hard time... then he slots into the side.

Your a good sport Dappa-however, it suits a lady more than you.Welcome back !

I don't know how he will go but those that question the speculative teenager we took at pick 36 because of the speculative teenager we overlooked just make me roll my eyes...

Your post doesn't make sense-please explain your point,as I am always interested in what you say.

How on earth do you not understand it?

It couldn't be any clearer.

This is an extract (on Rory) from a little article on prospective draftees from the Rebels. Interesting read, link to the full article is below.

Rebels regional manager Phil Partington says: He has an AFL kick and AFL mark, very powerful legs that can accelerate quickly and a high vertical leap. There are certainly parts he needs to improve on but that will come.

I wonder if this was the kid that was spoken of in the seminar pre-draft that was compared to a player, namely Bruce.

On a side note, how funny that the advertisement at the top of this thread today relates to a competition to have Dane Swan at your Australia day bbq. Prob not the most appropriate site for that ad? hehe

I watched - looks impressive.

Could this be the player that Neeld asks in the draft seminar "can he captain an AFL club?". It seems to me not only did we rate him highly, but his qualities jumped out to Neeld.

Funny, because in one of the articles posted on the MelbourneFC website, it mentions the fact that he appears laconic yet manages to keep in the clear... sounds a little like a description of Travis Johnstone or Col Garland? I'm really looking forward to seeing him in action (perhaps he might get a run in the NAB Cup?).

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
