84% they said. Consider this, Georgiou's kicking action is right, everyone else is doing it wrong.

Yes! Excellent rookie choice even if I do say so myself. I suggested Georgiou in a thread on 6 October after the SANFL GF.

"PS Cooling on Aish. He's top 10 but not #2 pick. Dumont is at least as good. Georgiou would be a sensible "moneyball" defender."

Best defender in the SANFL; looks uncoordinated but gets the job done every time; plays taller than his size. Yes, Norwood has been good to the MFC

Have seen him play in the flesh a couple of times on visits back to Adelaide. Strikes me as being a tough nut - rough as guts in some respects but never takes a backward step. Get the impression he could pick a fight in an empty room. And the Bassett culture at Norwood wouldnt do him any harm either - defensive side of his game will be first rate.

His highlights video is on the AFL website still from the ND.

He might be a useful negating defender, but I do not like the look of the ball in his hands.

Has no idea what to do with it when there were clear options, very average disposal, definitely has the potential to run himself into trouble or sell teammates into it.

These are meant to be "highlights" no less!

I would be appalled if Georgiou were to be upgraded and play an AFL match.

I agree with his skill. It will be found out at AFL level easily. His kicks often look lazy and his handballs spin like Cale Morton's used to. I trust our recruiting fully however I believe they may have made an error here. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I went to school with Georgiou, year above. As many have pointed out his disposal is unconventional but it gets the job done. I haven't seen him play in a fair few years but he was a decent A Grader in the HFL.

He'd play above his height as he was pretty tall in high school and this would have given his play some confidence. His personality should be a great fit for the club, he was a popular kid but didn't get into too much trouble, always a bit more serious than the others and does have strong leadership qualities.

Keen to watch him run around.

Going by the various descriptions,

he could end up being our Inspector Gadget

I must say im a bit disappointed in this pick.. I know its only a rookie draft but would much rather have gone for Matt Sully.

His disposal is very ordinary and even if he plays tall when he comes up against the bigger forwards I just don't think he will be much chop..

anyways I will watch with interest.

Agree.

I would have rathered gone with Sully, Fort or Spencer. But I hope he proves me wrong.

If you are looking for depth for 2014 do you pick the undersized 24 year old who has spent a few years at FB in the SANFL and can do a job instantly or do you pick the 20/21 year old who needs work, and a few years, to be considered good 'depth'?

If I was to pick 'depth' players, I would choose 23+ year olds and I would use the RD.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
