Does Kate Upton have a sister?

Unless you want to be condemned, he can only be taken, roughly where his ability warrants.

I am impressed someone can start a rumour that Storm from Gladiators is Nathan Jones' mum and have idiots like me believe it.

blah blah blah...

Midfielder James Tsitas (Falcons) and Zak Jones (Dandeneong Stingrays) were both prominent as Vic Country took a three-point advantage into the main break.

blah blah blah....

Quote from the match report for WA vs Vic Country yesterday.

I do see the "intangible" benefits of drafting the brother of a player already at the club, much like benefits of a father son.

Why are people saying Dylan Grimes should be at Melbourne? The guys is just as worse as jack in regards to injuries and we would be all very frustrated supporters having Dylan on the sidelines all the time.. Clark is driving us all mad re his foot imagine if we had Dylan lol. when he is injury free (which is rarely) he is a good player for sure.

Not disagreeing with you about his injuries keeping him off the park DD36, but during Dylan's draft year his injuries were unknown. I have a number of very astute Richmond supporting mates (I know, that sounds impossible) who are grateful that we overlooked Dylan. They say he is a player who makes their backline more complete when he's not injured. Once they clear up, I feel he will be a very good player for the Tigers.

While we are not a charity, I believe a younger brother will often lift his level of performance when playing alongside his sibling. Especially when the older one is as well respected as Nathan. If its a choice between two draftees of reasonably similar ability, I'd go the brother. I certainly hope he is as hard working as Nathan. Good luck to him regardless of where he goes.

I really hope we take him, though we shouldn't spend overs on him just because he's Chunks brother.

However he's shown enough to give the impression he can be a player. I think he could excel at the MFC, having such a driven and hard working role model in Nate.

Isn't he the 'young' brother that was with his dad at the queens bday clash a few years ago when that Filth supporter tried to pick a fight? Zac would surely have developed an extreme hatred of the Filth as a result. That must give him some determination not to be selected by them!

<facepalm>

Is he any good?

I don't care about bloodlines.

We are not a charity.

IF he is a genuine contender for "best available" when the pick comes, sure, but don't elevate him just on his genes. (Cockatoo-C x2, Molloy, Gasper, Kavanagh, etc etc)

Sometimes it works as well, eg Kieren Jack and brother (so far). But as you say mono, if he's near the best available at our pick, yes, if not, pass.

I hope he is considered for our second round pick. He made the All Australian team, the skill is definitely there, I presume he will have a similar personality and work ethic to Nathan I just hope he slides enough for us to pick him up.

Ditto! I had a mega crush on Storm as a 12 year old. I loved that show too. This news has rocked me!

Storm was Charlene Machin. Lives and works in NSW.. Nothing to do with the Jones boys.

Would love him as a Demon if he is available from 2nd round onwards. Named All Australian, praised as one of the best half backs in his age group, and he is built and hungry just like our Nathan. Hopefully it falls our way and he can play alongside his older brother for many years to come!

I've heard big wraps on this kid, but it's unlikely he'll drift to our third round pick.

So, we might be put in a difficult position here, do we take him with our second round pick...

Or, do we gamble that he might possibly be there for our 3rd?

I'm tipping we will probably gamble he'll still be there and most likely he'll be gone.

But, our second pick is like gold in this draft, no doubt a VERY good player will slide.

Salem could slide and some even have Dunstan sliding!

It does happen... No-one would've tipped Grundy and Kennedy sliding to Collingwood last year.

Especially Grundy, as many had him going top 3!

    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.
