With the club’s second first-round pick, it has drafted talented midfielder, Eliza McNamara.

At 18 years of age, McNamara joins Melbourne with an incredible running capacity and can play both on the inside and outside.

She’s as ferocious as they come and won’t back down, so expect to see her win plenty of the footy in season 2021.

    Was pick 12 in the Phanton Draft while we got her for pick 23, so could be a steal.

    Not quite, we got her at pick 15 .... but that doesn't mean it's not a steal!

    The video looks impressive. Only looks fairly slight but seems an really natural footballer with obviously great athleticism. I think this is the sort of player that the coaching staff were talking about that have grown up playing football in a way that previous players haven't and possibly being able to have impact early. You can see in the way she moves with the football and takes on the game in a way that recent converts don't. Based on 46 seconds of footage (!!) she seems a very exciting talent.

    I dont know how I misread 15 as 23!

    But agree with you RE looking like footballers. Very exciting and expect them to hit the ground faster than previous years.

    Agree. Looks a natural and doesn't mind the dirty work either by the looks of it. Love the way she chased down and bowled that big ruck over.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
