GINGER NINJA

The young redhead from Queensland has pace and a bit of presence and was probably not too far off AFL selection before he tore a hammy playing at Casey in the latter part of the season.

There is a lot of hype from Melbourne fans over a guy who was a late draft pick and who has only played 15 VFL games. Hopefully he can have a big pre season and push for games in the early part of next year.

If what I saw at the latter part of the season is a guide, he'll play senior games next year. Has the potential to be a significant run and carry player for us imo. Would think a number of Casey followers would be of similar mindset. Better when he takes first option though, touch of the Sam Frosts in that regard.

 

I was hoping he would get a crack on the wing in the 1s, but it wasn't to be.

Hopefully 2019 is the year he breaks into the side.

Oskar has speed to burn and can certainly take on the game will barring any serious injuries play senior footy in 2019 . i am so certain he has the weapons to compete with the big boys. He could be the X factor.


Baker is 33 not 35. Has electrifying pace showed some promise but done a hamstring which ruined his year.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
