2023 Young Guns

Demonstone
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The Age has nominated a young player from each club who they tip to have a big 2023 season.

The Melbourne player they have gone with isn't the first one that I thought of.

Without peeking, who do you think might best fit the bill from our club?

    I had already read the article but won't give the answer away.

    Might note the article focuses on players from each club who have already played AFL games which reduces the options somewhat..

    I'd reckon at this stage, Bowey will regain excellence, Rivers will continue to impress in his contributions but Sparrow and JJ will absolutely bloom.

    Kozzie. 21 years old. Back to back 40+ goal seasons. Game changer and match winner.

    Already read the article this morning so know the answer though.

    Would have thought the obvious one is JVR but will go Sparrow otherwise. 
     

    edit. I’ve looked at the article now. Fair call.

    For those who came in late, the players nominated from all clubs have already had some senior experience.

    Highly esoteric pick in the Riv, but highly astute...

    Had a super first half of 2021, looked a million bucks

    Regressed badly this year though, do have to wonder how much impact his pre-season knee injury must've had

    Trent Rivers is a great choice he is going to be a very good player but my choice would have been Sparrow closely followed by James Jordon who needs to take the next step in 2023.!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • 2026 AFL Fixture

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons. Sunday games and late afternoon starts are on the menu with only 1 Friday night fixture until Round 15. They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
