Beamer

Recommended Posts

6. Brad Miller - Wasnt his best ever game but I applaud his never-say-die attitude and effort til the final siren.

5. Dunn - Good job on Cooney.

4. CJ - Excellent rebounding game. His game has come along way under DB's management.

3. Brad Green - Tried hard. Some good moments.

2. Cam Bruce - Decent game. Ran hard, should kick long more though.

1. Stefan Martin - Calm in defence.

Apologies to Simon Buckley who I thought tried to break the lines well. Wheatley was alright too.

6. Brad Green - our best

5. Cameron Bruce - our second best :lol:

4. Brad Miller - was good, looked really good in junk time

3. L. Dunn - well Dunn Sunn

2. Garland

1. Valenti

Not giving votes to Wheatley, too loose this week. Martin was OK but being beaten on the lead by Will Minson is a little embarrassing.

6 - Garland (quickly becoming 'the General' of our defence. Beat Murphy and created plenty off HB)

5 - C.Johnson (plenty of the ball and generally used it ball well, as well as being good defensively)

4 - Buckley (showed lots of dash and ball-carrying ability, and an improved defensive workrate. Kick was also better today)

3 - Martin (shades of J.Rivers about this bloke, but in a bigger body. Courageous in the air. Beaten a couple of times by unstoppable disposal but he looks very promising)

2 - Bruce (got stacks of the ball but didnt use it too well on a lot of occassions. Havent seen the stats yet but wouldnt be surprised if he got over 35 touches. Needs to improve his handballing skills, but otherwise led from the front, and if not for errors, wouldve been BOG)

1 - Miller (got 3 goals in junk time, but it was just reward for his hard work in the previous 3 qtrs)

Anyone who doesn't have martin and garland in their top 6 didn't watch the same game as me.

I didnt have Garland. I thought he was OK without being outstanding. Murphy seemed to get alot of the ball.

Not much he could do considering the quality of the delivery Minson got. Martin got the better of Minson on the lead, more often than not, and Minson got a couple of lucky goals.

Add Warnock to that as well.

The backline was the only part of the ground where we played consistently well for 4 quarters, and that's despite the collective age of our defenders being 14.

To keep the Dogs to under 100 points is excellent, especially at the Dome.

6. Dunn.L...shut down their superstar

5. Martin.S...that was an amazing effort for a 2nd gamer

4. Johnson.C...showed a cool head under pressure.

3. Garland.C...forced Murphy either deep or wide all day

2. Bruce.C...great workrate, would have placed higher if disposal was better

1. Warnock.M...especially good first half when we were under siege.

Apologies to the Russian who I thought rucked very well today, Miller Bate & Green who worked hard all day, Buckley showed a bit and Wheel's for his exceptional tackling.

6: Martin S. An encouragement vote for a great effort by someone playing his second game (and no wonder Essendon wanted him).

5: Dunn L. I reckon he did a terrific job on Cooney - but I hope he becomes more than a very good tagger.

4: Valenti S. Because he has more football brains than a number of higher profile (and far better paid players) on our list.

3: Garland C. Because he shut down my favourite non MFC player.

2: Brucey. Shocking kicking but great effort all the same.

1: Johnson C. Well done - we may just keep you on our list if you keep playing like you have in recent weeks.

And sorry B. Green you were OK as well.

    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

    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.
