yep i think he is about gone at years end. hasn't really shown he can kick goals when playing in the pocket. applies pressure but doesn't hurt the score board. i wouldn't mind if melbourne snagged a smokey forward pocket from NT somewhere with our rookie pick.

intresting you said that hells gates i watched footage of him and thought we need to draft this bloke!

I go and watch him every week mate, has got all the goods indeed, wants another crack at AFL level - very keen he is.

Would definetley be a worthy late pick as a small forward for sure.

He's a star.

I don't watch Casey games but if as you say Lawrence struggles to get the scoreboard ticking at that level, then he's toast at year's end.

Kelvin Lawrence: - Kicks 5, Handballs 7, Tackles 5, Goals 1

Kelvin kicked a goal, chased and worked hard defensively.

first and foremost Neeld wants player who work hard defensively, as he says the rest will come on top of that, so that seems to be the focus for Kel Lawrence, for those who can't get to training, Leigh Brown really drives him during the drills, Neil Craig is in his ear as well......

what is the hurry...he is still only 19 not 20 til October, he is on the rookie list, could be anything, and everything

I don't really understand the love that some people have for this guy. Anyone who is playing VFL reserves half way through their second year is never going to amount to anything.

Retaining duds like Newton, (Luke) Williams and Maric for multiple years has hurt us badly in the past. This club needs to keep turning over the bottom third of its list until it unearths a few decent players.

You do realise that you are replying in a 10 post thread in which there are more posters effusing the virtues another player than Lawrence himself?

I say go after Leroy Jetta at the end of the year. He's on track for 30 goals this year, is young, fast, averages 4 tackles a game, a couple of goal assists, and with Alwyn Davey in good form and salary cap pressure might just be squeezed out if we'd offer a late first round or early second round pick.

Lawrence is a rookie. He has been on our rookie list for 18 months and is runing around in the Casey reserves.

Some rookies make it, some turn out to be stars, most of them never play a senior game which is where Kel is at. We have given him an opportunity without him over-staying his welcome. It didn't work.

Next.

Im sure he can play, as most indigenous kids can play - and very well.

You can have all the talent in the world, but if you lack work ethic, have the wrong attitude, etc,

then more often than not, you do not make it, simple as that.

Could be one of many things, but blokes like Magner make the Demons pick him through doing all the right

things, having an insane work ethic, the right attitude and doing everything possible to play for the Melbourne Football club.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
