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.👍😁🌸

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
