Excellent read. I’m very optimistic for Jackson and Rivers.  Both were impressive last year. 
I’d have Laurie and Bowey on a par for talent and execution. But they are young and didn’t play in 2020. Jordan could be very useful and his skills/kicking are very efficient. Might get a go in the first few rounds.

So a player (Bowey) who you wouldn't have drafted ahead of the third and fourth last players taken in the entire draft last year, in addition to a totally undrafted and unlisted player, is now miraculously,  in your view, as talented as our highest draft pick in the last six years?

But Bowey did play well in the VFL scratch match ......

??  I was not comparing Luke Jackson with Bowey. I was comparing Bowey and Laurie. 

Jackson and Rivers will be regulars in the red and blue.  Very very optimistic about them.  

Both Bowey and Laurie should be given probably get the first 6-7 games at Casey at least given they didn’t play last season. My opinion.

Lot of hype around James Jordon.  Didnt see anything to warrant it in the two preseason games to be honest.

There was a moment where he burst away from the pack to receive a handball from the congestion on the boundary wing, he ran and kicked it to half forward. If he can do that often, it's just what we need.

Jackson will be an incredible player. 
 

Let’s hope he remains with the club for years to come.

I happen to believe that our 6 draftees from 2019 Draft ( Jacko Kossie snd Riv) snd 2020 ( Bowey Laurie and Rosman) are just as important In development as our Top  6 AA boys for our Club.

Mist we're selected because if their skills in the game which we are deficient in.

Disposal is our Achilles heal and Riv Kossie and Jake and Bailey are very skilled and smart small men who will add pace and cleverness to our playing stocks in the next fire years.

Jacko was a No  3 draft pick too good to Ignore and has really exciting ball skills pace and handball for his size and age.

Riv is a very rounded player off half back for his youth s as Nd plays like a 100 gamer on his composure and minding his opponent.

I witnessed his magnificent almost BOG game vs GWS last year at the Gabba and no way would we have won without this young Tyro performing st such a high level. I even believe Riv ( and Jake and Bailey ) are kids who could end up as Captain of our Club or Vice in the future.

Fraser Rodman has aN upside in size at 194cm, pace, marking and his endurance and tank plus he's not a bad kick and at 18 yrs had an AFL body to develop quickly on the wing especially. He will develop once he pickS up all the things on how to  play st AFL level.
 

Kossie is an excitement machine running tackling and performing at a high pace and enthusiasm and once he adds composure he will start to fulfil his potential and be a consistent goal contributor and assister in Ours our attacking plans for the next decade or more.

All very important each one snd this group are vital for our future and I have high hopes for all which could add the pieces of The puzzle for our next long awaited flag.
 

May they all have long and successful careers at the Dees.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
