Maybe more.

Congrats JKH on his first goal in AFL footy, in only his second game (and his second time as the sub)! Even had another shot or two but couldn't get it through the big sticks. Would've been great if

On last night's form, I simply cannot see how he won't make the grade. Could very well play 400 games for the club.

Interesting comparison with The Wizard Jeff Farmer who was 174cm 80kg when he played for us. JKH is about the same.

Lack of height never hurt Jeff. I remember one year he should have won mark of the year.

1998 vs. Richmond...I remember that mark so clearly; probably the best that I've seen live (I live overseas so have missed many of Jeremy Howe's)

was that not also the year where he ran the length of Waverly, and won goal of the year? I remember thinking he should have been awarded both the mark and goal of the year.

They gave it to one of the softest players' to have ever played the game in Winston Abraham.

That was it, same year.

Abraham's was a good mark coming in from the side, but I thought Farmer's was better.

Iirc it was the last round of the season, and we thumped Richmond.

Tingay was in great form that day, streaming down the wing.

Punt Rd end, Farmer out of seemingly nowhere, launching off of Lyon's back, getting so high it was a simple chest mark.

The stadium erupted.

Let's not put expectations on him just because he is training well. At the end of the day, he is a first year player drafted at 40-odd, so we should set our expectations based on that.

Maybe he was 'drafted at 40-odd' but he was also our 'second pick in the AFL Draft' after our astute trading to bolster the midfield. i am optimistic that when the season proper commences it will reveal that our recruiting team this year have done a good job and made some astute moves, JKH being a prime example and I am confident he will surprise many.

We got a good one, I've specked him for the 2014 brownlow.

I'm really impressed with this kid so far. Even though Roos has said that the new draftees will be eased into AFL football next season, I'd put him as a smokey for round 1.

In that case, you'd think he would be an absolute monte for the NAB Rising Star. :lol:

Yes a very good option for the rising star [along with Viney, Toumpas, Hogan, Salem, Kent and Barry]

Sorry but I beg to differ. Under the AFL Rising Star rules you have to have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season in question so that means Dean Kent (15 games in 2013), Jimmy Toumpas (14) and Jack Viney (13) are all out of contention.

Well it was worth a try. Happy to see JKH, Hogan, Salem and Barry feature nevertheless!

Is Michie still eligible?

To be eligible for nomination, a player must be under 21 on 1 January of that year and have played 10 or fewer senior games before the start of the season.

Michie turned 21 in 2013 and is therefore not eligible.

Four rising star nominations will suffice for 2014 however lovely to see jkh take out the ultimate prize. Loved his confidence to be named as a Round One starter in the latest interview.

I'm developing some man love for this fella without him having played yet. He just looks so clean and quick, and has confidence to boot.

Clearly off season is getting to me already.

YOU are excited!! I am, and haven't even cast eyes on him !!!

GO DEES. BRING IT ON.

JKH

Also known as the Jumping Knievel Hobbit and I expect this is how he will come to play.

Jumps like Wiz!

Knievel like Recklessness!

Hobbit like abilities going unnoticed on field!

Can only hope!

But all reports seem impressive from training.

I think JKH will get second. Since it'll be the first year a bloke wins both the Coleman and the RS.

And by the end of round 2 he will have racked up 4 games, kicked 20 goals and picked up 15 Brownlow votes.

Would love to see a 3 way playoff between JKH, Jack Viney and Chuck Norris.

    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.

    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
