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.

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
