One to look out for in the national draft ... perhaps at pick 45 or 65 for the Dees

A good kick - we need a few of these types. And doesn't mind it tough either according to some SA mates.

CENTRAL District's Paul Marschall

the 20-year-old running defender is attracting the interest of AFL clubs on the back of his pinpoint foot skills.

Marschall has played every league game this season and quickly become one of the most accurate field kicks in the competition.

Bulldogs coach Roy Laird says Marschall has rarely been beaten this season and is one of the best kicks in his team.

"His ball use is the highlight of his game - he's a very good kick," Laird says. "He's been very good for us to this point."

Ok, I get that he is a good kick. What else is he good/bad at?

Hows his pace? Personality? Size? Footy Smarts? Workrate? Courage? ect

as it says he is 20 already so you would think he would have a stronger body than others in the draft this year. It would be nice to have another good kick out of defence like watts has been this year. If watts ends up developing into a fwd and we have this guy then we would still have a good kick out of defence. go get him!

Anyone interested in seeing SANFL and WAFL games, the matches of the day in each are shown on ABC1 in the early hours of the day on Thursday and Friday mornings so they can be taped on IQ if you have that facility on Foxtel. I assume the finals will also be shown so there's a chance we can get a look at this bloke and a few others in the coming weeks.

I was always a bit of a sceptic about players from these competitions but plenty are now coming through. I saw Puopolo of Hawthorn and Jaensch (Adelaide) playing a couple of years ago in the SANFL. They looked fairly ordinary but Puopolo in particular has slotted in nicely with the Hawks.

I'll look forward to seeing Marschall in due course.

Sounds a little bit like James Strauss when we first drafted him! Everyone raved about his kicking but didn't really mention anything else.

And no, that is not a knock on Straussy who I rate very highly. Would just love to know more about Marschall as I think getting a player or two with a few more years experience at WAFL, SANFL or VFL level would be something worth looking at.

That height weight ratio will be wrong - Marschall is quite a big unit - he is a good kick and and strong. Strictly a half-bank flank or defensive winger. He is a very straight line robotic type player and whether he has the agility and ball handling to play AFL will decide whether he makes it or not and whether he gets drafted.

Don't know abour personality or workrate olisik. But from what I've heard from some friends in Adelaide he's got pretty good pace and good courage.

I rate him as a similar player to Dean Towers from North Ballarat from the limited footage I have seen of him but possibly not quite as fast given that Towers is as quick as they come.

Yes I believe we would have to consider at pick 45 or 65 for Marschall. Not just a good kick. Watch some SANFL highlights and he also can do all the physical stuff of a half back.

( Towers will go top 40 for me, with likely Cats 2nd round pick #35ish looming his likely home. Cats would see him as a perfect running half back).

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
