Rivers = One of the best 4 possession games you'll ever see.

You can add 10 1%ers to that too. It was almost always his fist doing the punching.

Amen.

A more important defender you will not find in our team.

Consistently does the team things, risks his own well- being to punch the ball or provide a contest. How was his blind backwards punch on the goal square?

He is a godsent and if he ever leaves us I'm jumping off the West Gate.

I agree. I can see other clubs closer to a premiership trying to poach him from us. He keeps our backline together and makes Warnock, Bell, Garland, Carroll and co. look better at the same time

I was surprised that Rivers only got 4 disposals because I thought he a good game his spoiling was superb. Warnock was great I don't think Tarrant touched it in the second half. I'm not convinced about Frawley yet but I would still play him. I was impressed with Garland I think he is starting to find his feet at this level. Carroll got a spray at quarter time, didn't touch it after half time and Pavlich kicked 5. Finally I think my prayers will be answered and Bailey will finally drop him.

With Jones if I was a Freo supporter I would be ripping into Harvey as much as I have ripped into Bailey over the last 6 weeks for keeping Crowley on Jones. McLean is very good player who if you let loose more often than not he will tear you apart. Jones is a Barry Battler nothing more I don't think any team in the AFL will tag Jones again.

The thing that I can't believe was Miller's game. He has had some good games leading on the wing but he done it all against Freo he actually looked like he could play the game a very unlike Miller performance hopefully he has turned the corner but I wouldn't hold my breath.

QFT. Their defensive pressure in the second half was fantastic, and I put a lot of that onto Rivers, Bell, Frawley and a lesser extent, Carroll, who didn't let a dominate 1st half by Pavlova let him down.

Don't forget Warnock. A few time both him and Rivers hit packs deep in defense to kill the ball over the line. Garland's performance on a small leading forward was also impressive, don't know how many times these type of players have carved us up. Once the coaching staff got the match up right we actually had a well balanced backline.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
