He's 19, and will be a fantastic acquisition for Melbourne over the years to come. How can you base that on a handful of games!? FWIW its too early to make calls on a 19 year old who is no where near fully developed.

i agree with you. and it is interesting to note that he is only year and a half younger than newton, and has played more games (17 all up). it amazing the number of people willing to write off young KPP when we have no other prospects. everyone expects them to dominate straight away.

Yes, and quick fixes just don't happen once kids are just drafted. They rarely do. Judd being the obvious exception to that rule.

One other consideration might be Ricky Petterd.

As far as I'm aware, there's been no reason given for him not being selected in today's Sandringham team. I'm speculating but perhaps if he isn't injured then the thinking might be to play him on Friday night rather than play today and make his return on a 5 day break.

Good point Jack, I hadn't thought of the shorter week, I didn't think he (petterd) was injured all tho I wondered if he was sore.

scarlett 95kg, harley 95kg, Hunt 100kg, Mackie 84kg, Taylor 91kg. Egan 101kg = Av 94kg

Garland 85kg, Martin 97kg, Warnock 93kg, C Johnson 87kg, Whelan 84kg, Wheately 87kg = Av 88kg

Thats the difference between a top backline and ours. We need to get some serious kilograms on to our backmen. THat is atleast 2 pre-seasons worth.

hopefully Miller is back... i can't believe people don't think we need to add something to our forward line this week...

the cats defence will destroy us if we don't have a strong target back there... even if it's just dutchy sitting in the square, with aussie roving to him, it will be a much better option than pagans paddock with Colin Sylvia playing Wayne Carey, especially against the cats...

Out: Garland, Aussie

In: Miller, Yze.

YZe cant do much more than he is, deserves a chance. Its the perfect stage for him I think.

We could be caught short down back so I'd keep Bell at the expense of Aussie.

Out: Garland (hamstring)

In: Miller

I think Davey will play and Jones will spend one more week at Sandy.

Wish I could get rid of Bell but Petterd is still out.

BP: Whelan Martin Bell

FP: Stokes Lonergan Johnson

HB: CJohnson Warnock Wheatley

HF: Gamble Mooney Selwood

C: Green Dunn Bruce

C: Corey Ling Kelly

HF: Morton Miller Bate

FP: PJohnson Sylvia Wona

BP: Harley Hunt Enright

R: Jamar Mcdonald Davey

R: Ottens Ablett Bartel

Inter: Valenti, Bell, Maric, Buckley

Inter: Blake, Varcoe, Prismall

*forgetting someone from Geelong.

Milburn out will help us a fair bit. And is more reason to bring in Miller.

Ive got Ablett coming back, lets hope not.

Assuming Miller is unfit:

Out - Garland (inj.)

In - Frawley

Out - Davey (inj.)

In - Petterd (if fit)

Emergencies: White, Carroll, Bode

Jones didn't have a great game at Sandy, and thus doesn't deserve to come straight back in.

White could be handy rucking with Jamar, so we can leave PJ up forward to give us an extra target. Considering White was BOG for Sandy, I wouldn't be surprised to see him come in.

Ackland kicked 7 on Carroll

ummmm i think thats a slight concern dont you?

As a matchup this one didn't work because Aklands combination of height & legspeed was too good for Carroll.. & Lamb.

Martin would have been perhaps a good matchup, you get that. or maybe Holland should have tried him out.

    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.
