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.!!

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
