We have done him a service getting Jim out of that horrible Richmond jumper.

Does anyone here know much about him?  "Kozzie light"?

Right we were on a roll and then....

Jacob, Blake, Taj, Judd and and Andy!!!  Garden variety Andy....still Moniz- Wakefield makes up for it and a hyphen too.

Seriously, Andy welcome and good luck.

 

Wow another fast, silky skilled, agile 18 year old player on the list who has great kicking skills, good size too at 180cm. Welcome  to the mighty Demons Andy Moniz- Wakefield, you are going to love being a Dee working with and being coached by the best. AMW,cool.


Congrats Andy and all the other 4 draftees. 
All look to have exciting skills offering different ones to add to our required hardness determination and team ethics.

Terrific base for our Coaches to develop.

Tall swing man defender and stylish goal kicker  Leader on the field and some possible 2022 games on the radar for this key position recruit. 

All round skilled outside high marking and long kicking centreman forward and wing prospect at 190cm. Exciting !! Could do anything in 2022. 

Son of a gun who has dreamed of this day joins with a stellar WA Colts and local games 2021. Excels on both sides of his body and is a leader.

Judd is a medium/small defender with high skills and run off the backline mantra.Will develop nicely his game style under our elite coaching

Andy is one of our  NGA boys  who also possesses a high skill level and outside run. Like all recruits he will relish our culture and is an East Freo Shark like Dogga Rivand Taj and will develop ahead in leaps and bounds as a mid and forward  ball getter. 
 

Exciting  times ahead.

 

 

 

We don't really have a player like him on the list. Hope he can develop well.

Likes to crack in and go hard at the contest.

Last bloke that came up from NT that showed similar traits was a bloke by the name of Mathew Whelan...

We might have to have Melbourne A and B sides, like the Australian cricket side did.

I agree Dante.  Our list now seems to be extremely well balanced by position and age democratic.

Well one thing, no one will be able to take their position for granted, there will be a contest for every spot. 

Wow, did I really say that, it would be the first time ever, at the club, you could say that, it's so hard to believe.

Looks ok. I think he’s got the potential to be a half back or wing type runner.  I’d like to see him given a rookie spot and develop under Choco, wheels and Nev Jetta. 

AMW … Welcome aboard to the Melbourne Footy Club

 👍🏻❤️💙

I had been thinking the same thing.

 

Number 45 Jumper just so happens to be available as well.

Whelan had great skills

Mustn't be any good or AFL would have found a way to stop us getting him like with Mac Andrew and stripping our northern zone and giving it to Suns etc etc.

Reminds me in a few ways of Gavin Wanganeen. Seems to have a very cool under pressure disposition despite saying he was nervous before the game and like him looks to have relatively short legs compared to his body so looks like he's buzzing along with a very rapid short stride.

Is his bottom as big as Gavins?  Just asking as I sat next to some Port supporters who predicted every free kick he got - stick bum out lean forward and get paid in the back

Would be fitting having another NT boy to don the number 45.

Spot on. #45 would be perfect.  Wheels as his mentor.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
