From South Fremantle - a strong 179cm tall midfielder.

”“South Fremantle’s Molly O’Hehir is one of those players with a glass ceiling. For a player of her size and athleticism, it is rare that she can also be a potent user of the ball and do so much damage on-field wherever she plays.”

    Kind of sad we didn’t take Zippy Fish because it’s the best name of all time, but we wouldn’t be Melbourne if we didn’t draft the super athletic big bodied mid.

    Very excited, she's exactly what we need in our mix.

    Welcome to Molly!

    Zippy Fish is a name for the ages, but it's pretty great to have such an old-school-made-new-again name like Molly running around.

    Loved her words in her post-draft interview, to the effect of, "anyone can be a leader no matter their age".

    Reading further, she's been playing in the WAFLW for two seasons already, so even though the quality of that competition is perhaps not great (my speculation only), she has been playing against older players for a while already.

    Zipporah Zippy Fish. Dad must have been a fan of Kate Fischer (as we all were in the late 80s/90s - changing  her name to Tziporah Malkeh in the aftermath of James Packer marriage break up...)

    Excellent choice and as Molly said in her immediate post draft interview  “couldn’t be happier to go to the Dees”

    This highlights reel is exceptional.

    Kicking 45m+, hitting targets on leads, ball winning ability, clean pick ups of bouncing ball on the run, smart positioning around the contest to be first receiver, followed by power and speed to get away from the contest.

    I know it's a highlights reel, not a complete summary, but it's exciting to see just how high the standard is for this draft crop.

    It is weird to me how language loses meaning when people pick up a catchphrase or expression without actually knowing the meaning, and then just... use it when it feels good? I guess?

    'One of those players with a glass ceiling' must be the weirdest description of a draftee I've ever heard.

    I looked at it and thought the same thing. A glass ceiling is a barrier to growth that can't be seen, indicating that O'Hehir has very limited in terms of potential growth. This is, of course, the complete opposite of what was intended.

    I'm guessing they meant 'high ceiling' but completely bungled it. Maybe they thought a glass ceiling was even higher than a high ceiling.

    A high glass ceiling perhaps

    Possibly an autocorrect trip, or the writer was using Grammarly so it just assumed everything was middle-manager-speak?

    She is fantastic. Love the loyalty comment at the end of the vid.
    Also an interesting comment from Todd Patterson about her, “one of the most compelling personality profiles I've come across in my time doing it”

    A lot of talk on the other side of the board about the club's social media efforts and the improved content of late. Great to see it carried through for both sets of draftees.

    Molly handled it all really well. Plus it showed what we already know about the quality of our coaches and leaders. The welcome by the players at the end of the night was a random end to a bit of whirlwind!

    Molly O’Hustle 😭A handheld banner beckons!

    PS: Molly looks a lot like my favourite former tennis player, Agnieszka Radwanska

    She seems a very nice level headed girl as well as talented footballer and I can see her becoming a Dees' favourite.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
