LOL @ Cale Morton

What do you regard as the most memorable sporting moment?

When Mohammed Ali lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta 1996

Morton was born in 1990

I like Rhys Palmer personally. Had one really outstanding game in the Under-18 championships with 34 possessions and 5 goals. Don't know why, but he reminds me a bit of Sylvia. Plenty of the P word then, but hopefully (if he comes to us) he can get his mind focussed and develop into the top player he shows signs of being.

Got a video (bit hard to follow as its been edited a bit) with some of the soon-to-be draftees in it.

Id be very interested in the last time someone was as impressive as this guy in a previous under championship match. What does a display like this tell us?

Can anyone post their knowledge of players from years gone by who have had similar games in the under 18 championships who have or have not gone on to be top class footballers?

Cotchin or Ebert for me...

Both look promising...

3 other guys who will be right in contention for pick 4 are:

Rys Palmer- highly rated midfielder who ripped up the championships (including one game 35 possies 5 goals)

McEvoy- the best genuine ruckman in the draft. good taps and strong around the ground (Kruiser is almost like a 199cm rover rather than a genuine ruckman)

Rance- many predict melbourne will pick Rance. he is the best key position defender in the draft and is considered one of the best key defensive prospects to come out of a draft in years. He is a definite top 10 pick, most predicting he will not go lower than pick 8. (Unlike Frawley, who was highly rated, but most rated as a lower first ruond pick, rather than a top10 pick)

can people imagine 3 highly rated key defenders (Frawley 18yrold, Rance 17yrold and Rivers 22yrold) developing together. we'd have the best backline in the league in 3 years. that could be worth seriously considering!

Add in Bell (23yrold), Pettard (19yrold), Garland (18yrold), Bartram (20yrold) and Carrol (26yrold) and we could have a seriously strong defense with all these guyz developing their skills together over the next 2-3 years.

Well it could be the other way around. Do Carlton take Cotchin or Kreuzer at 1, knowing that they have pick 3.

Although I don't trust these things, Ratten was asked about him going to see Kreuzer the day before and Ratten said that they went to see Cotchin. This is strange because if they didn't lose and get pick 1 (who everyone thought was Kreuzer) then they would have had pick 3 only, which was probably going to have them miss both Kreuzer and Cotchin. So why were they going to see him with the coach (who usually goes to cast a final eye)?

I have a funny feeling Kreuzer may not necessarily go first.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
