At least that's some good news for this week

 

Well done Ricky..well deserved. He was first in the comp round 6 for marks in his 2nd game. Even Robert Walls likes him which is a possitive. He seems to take good marks, take good chance risks, run and kick long. He also has great ball reading skills shown by a number of spoils against sydney and port. ATM if he plays like this for the season he will be a starting 22 easily. Just not sure what possition hes better at...defence or midfield. I would prefer he played half back flank due to my belief that our backline are 1 or 2 players short of quality and consistant players. He gives great drive from there 2.

The good thing for melbourne is the fact that last year and already this year we are getting nominations for kids who are in there first year of football. ie Bartram and Petterd. The likes of Pierce i'm pretty sure had a couple of pre-seasons under their belt.

I think that we have a very talented younger bragade, that is underated by alot of other clubs and their supporters.


 
ohh no u did not go there!

Well done ricky....

I thought the same thing hahahaha...

Since when does wallsy's opinion matter?

Congratulations to Ricky......

Its fantastic news for a definite shining light of a club having enough problems.

Well done, keep it up :D !!!

we've had quite a few and have good youth coming through. we are lacking the next ruckman atm and an obvious replacement to neitz at FF. but we have good succession plans in place else where...

Well done Petterd, and Jones must consider himself very unlucky but i'm sure his nomination won't be far away.

Go Ricky!!!

Well deserved kid, if only for your efforts in spoiling Hall last week.

We need to start a "Go Ricky" chant. If it's good enough for the great Ricky Lake, it's good enough for our boy! :D

Jonesy is a chance to win the whole thing if he gets nominated soon.

Smart, composed, tough, fearless and a great kick

he is the anti-Bruce


Oh god I love Pedro, anyone got any odds on him to win the Rising Star?

Our congratulations also Ricky!! Thouroughly deserved. Has shown poise and guts and good jugdgement in both games & was in top possessions all day (and actually did something constructive with the possessions!).

I am pretty sure Jones got a nomination late last year.

Yep Round 20 last year

I am pretty sure Jones got a nomination late last year.

You can be nominated in two separate seasons, as long as you played under 10 games in the previous season.

So Jones is still eligable to be nominated, and indeed win the award.

It might be hard to believe, but Jones only played 8 games last year.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
