this is by far the best young group I've seen at Melbourne. I mean look at this list:

Hogan
Brayshaw
Petracca
Viney
Tyson
SALEM
Gawn (Young for a ruck)
McDonald x2
Stretch
ANB
VDB (Only 24 next year)
Harmes

Apart from Jesse Hogan who is once a generation player, they all can still go either way like the 2010 class.

NJones. 23yo established mid.
Scully. Posters were creaming themselves after 39 v doggies.
Trengove. Most promising until captaincy/injury.
Gysbert. Ball Magnet who should get better.
Tapscott. Poster were excited he would be Chappy v2.
Frawley. 22yo near all australian defender.
Liam Jurrah. Freak.
Jack Watts. Physically gifted and excellent skills.
Cale Morton. Should get better.
Sylvia. ONly one preseason away.
Grimes. Will be a player if not injured.
Marric. Promising small forward.
Garland. Promising CHB who shut down Buddy and Riewodlt and other athletic big forwards.
Blease. Line breaker we needed.
Strauss. The beautiful HB kicker.
A.Wonaarmerri. Promsing small forward.
Gawn. Tall and coordinated.
Petterd. Promising 22yo swingman.

I have high hopes for the big 4 in Hogan, Brayshaw, Salem and Pettracca.

Viney, Gawn and Tyson are promising too but in my mind a shade below.

We need more.

Best young group I've seen. Hopefully go better than the mid 2000's group who went to shit as soon as a bunch of former players started calling it the best group since 64.

I definitely agree with you, except that I'd rate Tyson at the same level as the first 4. There's a pretty significant drop-off in talent after these 7 in the <22yo bracket.

Every time I look at this thread I think of this song...so I went all out.



Dees fans: Melbourne?
Do you wanna win some football...
Come on let's go and cheer...
You never seem to anymore.
It's a real bore
I'm always forced to sneer....
We used to have great times
But now we don't
And we all seem to know why...
Do you wanna win some football...
Please go and win some football...
Dees: Stop being negative!
Dees fans: Okay, bye.

Do you wanna win some football?
Or trade for an A-grader
I think some victory is overdue
I've started talking to
YouTube's own Matthew Bate-r!
It gets a bit depressing
All these long losses
Just watching the years tick by

(Montage of losses)

Dees?
Please, I know you're out there
People wonder when you'll win
They say 'have faith' and I'm trying to
I'm here waiting for you, please will you begin
We only have each other
It's just you and us
What are you going to do?

Do you want to win some football...
Please go and win some football...
