SNAPSHOT:

When it comes to class and maximum damage in this year’s AFLW Draft class, it is hard to look past Eastern Ranges small forward, Alyssia Pisano. The talented left-footer is as dominant as anyone when she can wheel around onto her trusted side and win a game off her own boot in a matter of minutes. With weapons galore inside 50 and the potential to develop even further, Pisano is the premier small forward in this year’s draft crop.

    Small forward from Eastern Ranges that is prodigiously talented and tipped to go at the top of the draft and become a fan favourite? Sounds familiar!

    Whilst a small forward is a definite need for this team, we should be looking for size in the midfield with a top 5 pick.

    Unless players from other states nominate nationally, it's slim pickings for players of that type and quality right at the top of the draft, as far as I can see.

    Of the VICs, Kayley Kavanagh is the right type but estimated pick 15-30. So maybe we go best available with our top pick, then try to fill that void later.

    Alyssia & Alyssa forward combo, add in Zanker and Hore, pretty exciting.

    She looks so good in those highlights, long kick, accurate snaps, good agility.

    I really think Pisano fills a need in our forward line.

    Welcome to the MFC Alyssia. Great interview with Sarah Ollie and spoke very well. The highlights package looked amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing Alyssia play in Round 1 next season.

    We’ve got a lot of aerial power but you need a forward line that can create goals even when things are messy.  Pisano looks like a strong, powerful player that can use her legs and kick to create scores even when the game is messy, like finals often are.

     Certainly seems like the right type of player to be adding to the group.

    When I read about Alyssia Pisano I didn’t think we had any hope of seeing her in the Red and Blue. Just shows how good our recruiting team is, welcome aboard Alyssia hope you kick a bag in 2024.!!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
