Someone over at 'ology reckons the Dees are seriously considering 25 yo Ian Richardson, a small forward from Claremont who averages over 2 goals a game...

Would be surprised if we didnt pick up a mature age small forward for the rookie list. Would be consistent with everything else we have done.

    Ian Richardson has been on the cusp of selection in previous drafts going back a few years now.

    I mentioned him a little while ago in State League Prospects

    With Melbourne on the lookout for some experienced State League talent to augment its midfield, there's a forgotten man named Ian Richardson playing for WAFL side Claremont who could become the next Ian Callinan.

    However, I thought Mark Neeld suggested after the national draft that he would be looking for young blood in the rookie draft.

    Would be surprised, Richardson is a good player, can he take the next step, not sure but he is very handy around goal and has a nasty streak.

    Honestly thought his time my have passed him by

    I wouldn't call him a small forward either. Kinda like a Ricky petted style medium forward imo

    He impressed me in the WAFL GF and at the time thought with a name like Richardson the pies would be in to him.

    • 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.
