Bartram - disposal was childlike

Bate - more was needed

Bell - becoming a nonentity

Bruce - provided no leadership

Buckley - promising but limited

Dunn - Jane not Tarzan

Frawley - devoid of presence

Garland - continued his renaissance

Green - needs more consistency

Johnson - some exciting moments

Jones - feeling the pressure

McDonald - just a shadow

McLean - more was required

Miller - tried but limited

Moloney - persistent but erratic

Robertson - insignificant before calamity

Sylvia - just a game

Warnock - a pleasing performance

Wheatley - easily our best

finding it hard to raise any enthusdiam on this one.

To be honest as so much occurred up the foggy end I found it hard to tell who was who at times..

I'll just chime in with an overview efoort.

Some of this disturbs me..lol.

Ooze did shine amongst that lot..that alone says it all really :blink: He was one of the few to actually manage any effect 6/10

I thought Johnson played a very honest game..he didnt get a lot of help did he. 7/10

Garland tried valiantly even if (again ) little support 6/10

what did come came from Matty W..who also seems to be improving..some of his decisions are well..hmm...could be better 5/10

again this irks me . If Im mentioning him, we're not going to well. Frosty actually does seem to be attempting to change his game 5/10 for effort. Stop looking to keep it half way backwards now , is this his new trade mark in stead of handball?? Get rid of it son.. otherwise..carry on with attempted transformation.

Aussie. tried hard all day I felt.Why wasnt he brought on the ball much earlier. He was wasted yesterday. 5/10

were any others really playing.. I couldnt tell..not until Brocky came on wearing his Jammies!!

Not Baters best day.

If most of them are going to play like that..stay home.. I could have !!

I am interested in everyone's assessment of Dunn. From what i can gather, he is being given a tagging role.

With Junior nearing the end, we have no midfield taggers, as Bartram tends to tag half backs/forwards, and is not physically up to tagging bigger midfielders. Every gun side in this competetion have at least a couple of stoppers on their team, and some of them early on in their careers never got much of the pill when they where applying themselves to this role(Kirk, Sewell, Rawlings, Cornes, etc).

Dunn tagged Hayes on Sunday, and i think you could mount an argument that out of all the Saints midfiedlers, Hayes had little influence. Although in the context of a 79 point drubbing in which we were smashed in the middle, it means little.

My point is though, no matter where we all think Dunn should be played, or how he should be played, if he has been given instructions from the coach to go out and try to stop an opposing influential midfielder, then he should be judged on that shouldn't he?

Early on I noticed one of our players give a handball but not run on to shepherd.

I thought this a bit strange so I made a point of keeping my eyes on the person giving the handball.

I was shocked to see that this happened a number of times.

This is something very basic as it gives the ball carrier an extra few metres.

Did anyone else notice this

Been doing to the exact same thing all year. Nothing surprising there

    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
