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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
