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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
