We need this guy to be a 200 game player for us. Still our midfield will be one of the youngest in the AFL but hopefully an exciting season awaits us, with some success. Tyson and Hogan should provide something for us next year.

This has been quite remarkable recruiting. The best I can remember from the MFC. We will have a very competitive side next year.

So, not old enough to remember Jim Cardwell's amazing (solo, just him and a cheque book, no draft, no spotters, no bs) recruiting 1953-5 then ? (I don't either but vaguely remember enjoying the results over the next decade) Edited by monoccular

I understand your hesitant optimism completely, but at least this time or young unproven midfield contains highly rated potential kids (Tyson, Viney, Toumpas, pick 9), a couple of developing kids with who have shown a bit (Michie, M Jones and some of our existing younger inexperienced players), some players with 3+ years experience who should be easy to take a step up under Roos/Stone (Trengove, Grimes, Watts) and a senior midfield leader (Jones).

If we can snare Vince or Cross and they can play the rule of number 2 and 3 mids for a year or two, we suddenly have a core that may come together.

None of those players have question marks for the wrong reasons. They might not have developed as we'd have liked bit they aren't the unfulfilled potential, poorly behaved or NQR group we've had in the last decade. Yet.

Time will tell. Stone for Royal may be the most important change we've made all off season.

Pretty sure we said all the same things after drafting Scully, Trengove, Gysberts with Blease, Strauss & Grimes. Not saying I'm unhappy with our trades but there's a lot of water to go under the bridge before I start feeling full-blown optimism.

Seen very little of Sheed he is hard at it and a good player who will play from Round 1 next year. Hard to judge the effect he will have at the next level, stood out in the colts with his ball winning ability and I wanted to have a real good look at him after the championships but with the broken collarbone and already having the knowledge he would go first round Subiaco put him in cotton wool for the season as they had no chance of making finals.

Stevie Armstrong is his coach at Subiaco Colts. On what Iittle I saw of Sheed I would describe him as almost a carbon copy of Matt Priddis, only he has a better kick. Speed could be a question mark but has excellent hands and is better around goal than Priddis

Thanks 'Pennant', that collar bone has caused some issue's for those of us that like to keep a bit of an eye on who's who in the draft but I'm sure the club's will have him well pegged by now. Funny how WC are saying they need more pace around the mids but Sheed is seen as their no.1 target. Maybe he is, maybe he's not.

Damian Maggot questioning Paul Roos and Todd Viney

I actually think it is [censored] amazing that you got this post through the moderators.

So now I know the word to use when I get out of control.

He is way better than anyone from this draft, including Boyd.

From what little I've seen of Tyson, I'd agree.

Just the way he moves in and out of traffic, he is exactly what we need.

I chatted to a mate who thought Tyson was more impressive as a junior - than anyone this year.

Dom Tyson appears to be a steal for us.

Your missing the point, Tyson fits our needs more so than than any player in the top end of the draft. It has nothing to do with being better.

exactly, it's all about needs.

we desperately need an extractor. those at the pointy end of the 2013 draft aren't that.

dom tyson is.

Crouch is an extractor, maybe we knew he'd still be there at 9 and added Tyson as a bonus.

Judging from Tysons highlight reel, he is more impressive than anyone in this draft.

I would not be surprised to see them take Acres, Beau Waters is shot and Acres could immediately slot in as HBF who can rotate through the middle, he is a good user of the football and sets up play across half back. West Perth colts used to find the ball and always look for Acres who would set up their plays. This was one of the main reasons he is so highly rated and has been well regarded for many years coming through the junior ranks, regularly getting high possessions and maintaining a presence. Will not find it as easy to accumulate at AFL level but the kid can run & carry is not shy at demanding the footy or going in where it hurts if needed. Disposal is also very good.

IMO he is a better player than Sheed but that is to say they are both good but Acres has more tools and they should with all luck forge long careers. Meth Coast always keep their cards close to their chest so whilst Sheed has been training with them my mail is no promises have been made and they have stated they will take who they feel is best available.

We will all find out in another 6 weeks

Along with the use of the Scully compo this deal will begin to remedy some of the errors of the past.

As long as this guy stays on the park.

Dom: definitely playing most of the games on the MCG is a great prospect.

So, should he have gone for Cillingwood then ? :-(

    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.
