Justed wanted to give everyone a heads on a possible F/S selection, Brett Hughes, son of one of my favourite Melbourne players Danny. He's currently playing for Port Adelaides U/19's in the forwardline.

Here's the link to his profile

He's not tearing them apart so don't get too excited, but I'll keep an eye on him and track his progress

Not as tall as his dad.

Pity we don't have father/sons who are bigger, stronger and faster than their fathers like young Tomahawk!

Heard he's a bit of a SOD! :P

hopefully we pick him up with out anyone having to bid for him, this new f/s son rule sucks. Geelong have been lucky with this rule and it was better the way it was before

I don't see how Geelong scoring Hawkins with a low draft pick was fair.

It all comes down to luck, what happen if the same thing happen to us? you wouldn't be complaining

That's a ridiculous assumption, particularly as I'm not complaining about the Cats getting Hawkins. I'm simply using Hawkins as an example (since it's the most topical atm...I'm sure there are many others) to illustrate the inequality of the soon-to-be old system.

I'd be saying exactly the same thing if Melbourne picked up the new Judd for a third rounder or whatever - that it was unfair.

F/S Clubs still get an advantage in picking up great young talent if they've got a connection to that footy club, but will now have to pay something near market value. It's still not entirely 'fair', but it's much improved and I like the new system.

news from port adelaide is that he has been playing at CHF, and if he continues his form he is a good chance to be a f/s selection

Developing at CHF nicely, although not dominating games. Not sure how accurate his height is on their website but he'd have to be at least 190cm to hold down a key position at AFL level.

There's a kid called Simon Keenan, who's around 15 now. His brother Sam didn't want to play AFL - "I want to do what I want and eat what I want when I want without public scrutiny 24/7", but he might. He'll end up bigger than Crackers.

If he stays off the radar I am sure the dees will be able to pick him up with a F/s selection. Lets be honest, he isnt setting the under 19s on fire like hawkins did, so the scouts wont be all over him.

Based on his season so far, i would say the dees could pick him up without too much comp.

Latest report on the kid, he's been listed in Port's best players the last 3 or 4 games as a CHF, and although he hasn't kicked big bags he's been regularly scoring. This is what the coach said after the game on the weekend about him.

".... while Brett Hughes again was dominant at centre half forward." (ok, not a big quote but I'll take anything at this stage ;) )

This kid could be a very good pickup for us, I'm justhoping he's bigger than the 185cm he's listed as on their website.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
