Meesen, McNamara, Cheney, Maric and Grimes...

I for one think Maric should definitley get a game by the end of the season. He is becoming increasingly more consistent in producing good performance of late and I reckon it warrants selection.

Meesen I seriously doubt unless two of our ruckman go down.

McNamara and Cheney perhaps to green?

Grimes may get a game if he has a stellar couple of performances for Sandy 1's.

For mine I really would like to see Maric and Grimes by the end of the season.

I would really like to see Jace Bode, Issac Weetra have another go. I would like Meesen to see some action too.

So maybe in round 20 we can have a good hard look at them.

Maric and I think soon too. It will give him a great deal of confidence and he may just suprise us.

Grimes too. Maybe Rnd 22. I think it will be the start of something very special.

I would be very interested to see how McNamara goes, but I dont think his ready. Mentally and physically.

it would not surprise me if bode gets another un this year after having the chance to work on it at sandy.

meesen would need a miracle to get a game.

mcnamara was the youngest player in last years draft want he? and given our current development of garland, warnock and martin he will struggle to push in for a game.

maric was always a longer term prospect given he is completing year 12 this year, but you never know, they might give him a run.

grimes, you would think they wouldnt rush him. the kid has had no preseason, so has only been playing in bursts at sandy reserves. if he gets some fitness and plays close to full games for the sandy 1sts and impresses he may get a taste. but there is definitely no point in rushing him. give him a full injury free preseason and he will be cherry ripe for round 1 next year.

cheney is probably a bit green at this stage, and he hasnt exactly been dominating at sandy.

Stef Martin may not play too many games this year as he's still a work in progress, but that one game has been invaluable in terms of teaching him the pace of the game, and what is required. Best of all he didn't look overwhelmed.

The same thing was done last year with Garland when he was brought in only for a couple of games, just to show him what was needed. And look how THAT turned out.

Maric is VERY young, but I would have thought he's done the most at VFL level to suggest he's right to come in... Having said that it's all about type. If Davey comes back in, we may not have room.

Grimes if he's fit is a big part of our future. But he should be played only if he's right.

Petterd is a quality player. We know this, the footy department know this. He doesn't need to be rushed in. Though it would be nice to have him knock his injury on the head. We DO have to get games into these guys.

Also I reckon Cheney might have done enough. McNamara has by all accounts looked ok, but is hurt at the moment I think...

As for Meesen, I don't reckon he'll play this year. PJ, Jamar and White all in the way.

So for me it's:

Maric

Grimes

Petterd

Cheney

In that order.

I think Grimes is a real chance to play senior footy this year. Grimes could play another 1-2 games in the Sandy 2's, another 3-4 games in the Sandy 1's, and still play for the Dees.

Maric's a chance, too.

Although Petterd has debuted, he's been mentioned in this thread, so I'll put my 2 cents in - barring injury, he'll definitely get a gig in the senior side before the year's out.

PS. Dappa Dan, I think Martin's played a couple now.

Weetra had better start playing for Sandy firsts, first.

    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.
