Good thing that we got him young as he will have plenty of time to catch up with Nathan Jones and Mitch Clark in the tatts department. Might even see some facial tattoos?

FMD. Every kiwi athlete I've ever heard of has no neck, weighs off the scale and gave up a promising boxing career. Yet we pick a skinny kid.

I work with a couple of the Kiwi AFL players who have moved to Melbourne. They say its the skinnny Kiwi kids with running ability who are the ones more likely to have a go at AFL. Partly due to running ability being more important relatively in AFL but also having to play under age rugger against more developed Islander kids is not much fun if you are a skinny kid.

Nice to hear from Jason. I wonder if the Filth will say, "this kid was identified when he was on our payroll and we desreve him".

They had a crack for Jurrah.

Just curious. Since the commencement of the formal international rookie program, does anyone know how many have been selected and of that group, have any ever made it onto an AFL list?

Of course, perhaps that's how Tadgh Kenneally got his start. He went OK.

Don't know if Mike Pyke was. The basketballer that the Roos took was. Heatherly at Hawthorn will almost certainly make it onto an AFL list at the end of this year as he becomes draft-eligible.

Hawthorn bought a Kiwi boy over 2 years ago who had a basketball background. He was going to Caulfield Grammar. Not sure if he is still here.

We are not bringing him over however. He is staying in Auckland for his education so I suspect that he will not develop much until we get get him accross to Melbourne.

He qualifies for this year's ND, all reports are Hawthorn are following through on him, meant to be a real talent.

If we list him as an international rookie, does he have to go into the ND or do we get first option?

Yes we have first option. You can have upto 3 Category B (International & Development ) Rookiies. They can be kept on the list for 3 years. After that they need to be upgraded to the Senior Primary list or be delisted.

We have four Cat A Rookies in Magner, Couch, Stark and Clisby.

I am impressed with his potential from watching the DeeTV interview with him (link below)

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2013-02-12/maia-westrupp-interview

If he keeps improving based on what he has absorbed in a short time, then I feel that we may have unearthed a good colt!

Do we change that Acronym to WMD now???

If W is pronounced F how is F pronounced???

    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.
