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.

Welcome to the Dees Molly, loved the first 17 hours, another great level headed talented young star for our AFLW team.👍😁🌸

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
