The irony is Fullarton would probably get a game for the premiers next year if he was still there

Daniher was their most important player. Now they have Hipwood as their main target

    Just get the feeling he's going to play on a wing and Langdon might move into the ANB high half forward role

    Or Langdon and him on the wing, and Windsor more through the middle of the ground?

    Welcome aboard Harry Sharp glad that you chose the Dees looking forward to seeing your extra pace out on the G once you have earned your spurs. Four years in the Lions system so should fit in well with our young brigade.

    I'd love to try Caleb at half back too. In a quarterback role.

    Surely he would have chosen a destination club?!

    Other than running the 2km in a record time what are his other attributes, does he have a big kick or smart he user of the ball or does he tackle and harass like a mad man

    Is sharp quick? Or just big tank?

    I know he has the record for the 2km but not sure what that says about explosive and short distance sprinting ahha

    Can he actually get the ball? It’s fairly important in footy !

    The Club's just got to get Kelli 'Mozzie Kozzie' Underwood into its media team now.

    I wonder if he could get a game straight away. They might be a bit shy in playing 2 kids straight away. McAdam is also a chance of getting in the team.

    Interesting idea.

    If it pans out that way, would perhaps explain langers spending a big chunk of the second half of the season at HFF given they would have known nibbla was leaving.

    Welcome to the Demons Harry Sharp!

    Great to hear he is a super fit running machine.

    Hopefully we focuses on improving his kicking during the Pre-Season too.

    I thought he played wing most of the second half of the year and started rhe year at half forward? I could be misremebering, but that's my memory of a season to forget.

    He's got the hair to hold his own with Ed and Caleb.

    VFL stats show he was consistent through the year without starring particularly in any certain game.  His stats show a higher kick to handball ratio, offer relating his more outside run and carry role.  Sounds good to provide another link type player. Pick 54 is enough in exchange for Sharp.  

    Great news…welcome aboard Harry 👏👏👏

    He’s the type of player needed and type of trade (22yo, 4 years in system) that can come in straight away and still improve and improve.
    Elite endurance.  Run and carry and kick type of player.  Can play the ANB type role.  Been behind some high quality players at Lions. Move to the Dees should give him the opportunities he needs.

    Played half forward against Carlton and a few other teams about 1/3rd of the way in to the year. 

    Played wing in the second half of the year when Nibbler was often needed on ball.

    I hope we have more freedom and flexibility through games and week to week based on match ups. And can see Sharp, Kolt, Chandler and maybe others on the wing. In addition to Langdon and Windsor of course.

    If Sharp can mature and develop into the ANB mold, then I think we've done well out of trading ANB to the Crows.  Although I always saw early glimpses of potential in ANB, he didn't really start hitting his straps as an AFL footballer consistently until he had around 4 or 5 seasons under his belt.  Alot of that development work has been done with Sharp and if he can make the grade, then I like that we're continuing to rejuvenate the age profile of our list, without bottoming out and/or ending up with a glut of aging starts that would set us up for a big fall in the future.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
