BACKS

Matthew Whelan - important veteran defender who will be out to prove a point in 2009

Stefan Martin - big kid showed a lot of promise late this season

Matthew Warnock - turned into a very handy defender under Bailey

HALF BACKS

Simon Buckley - electrifying run was a highlight. Averaged over 20 touches. Smokey for the Bluey next year

Jared Rivers - let us pray that he is fit. Absolute star.

Brad Green - clubs best player and hopefully skipper next season

CENTRELINE

Cale Morton - even just a few extra kilos will see him dominate games regularly

Brent Prismall - as good as a Demon. Wont debut wil mid year, but wll be worth the wait

Aaron Davey - his pace will be important for the Demons through the middle

HALF FORWARDS

Colin Sylvia - is about to explode after a fine 2008 season

Brad Miller - Seems to have found his feet as permament forward

Matthew Bate - huge season coming up after interrupted start to 08'

FORWARDS

Nicholas Naitanui - freak of nature will wreak havoc with his size, leap, speed and second efforts

Colin Garland - ready to move forward with Rivers, Martin and Warnock manning the defense

Austin Woneamirri - will have a field day at the feet of Naitanui, Garland and Miller.

RUCKS

Paul Johnson - just gets better every year. Besides Buddy, best giant at ground level in the AFL.

Brock McLean - will he ever play a full season? If he does, the Demons will benefit greatly.

Nathan Jones - will have less pressure on him next season and should explode

INTERCHANGE

Addam Maric - could already be the best user of the ball at the MFC. A gem.

Brent Moloney - will add some firepower to a midfield in dire need

James McDonald - no spring chicken but still the spiritual leader

Paul Wheatley - veteran presensce will be important

EMERGENCIES

Ricky Petterd - could easily be best 18 if he can overcome constant bad luck

Russell Robertson - 30 and a snapped achilles doesn bode will for permanent forward spot

Chris Johnson - showed a bit this season, but still behind a few others. But a very handy emergency

Not quite there - Lynden Dunn, Clint Bartram, Mark Jamar, Michael Newton, James Frawley

hey big head I thought you were banned...you still make no sense, go back to 'ology!!!

yeah, I know; he said he had lost weight over the summer - less weights, more sprinting. Looks to me like he has whacked it all on again: no acceleration, modest speed.

Never all that big? You're kidding. He's built like a brick sh*thouse.

he's the fastest 3km runner at the club

My my people have a short memory.

As someone noted, this is only a very slight alteration on last years squad.

I love optimisum as much as the next supporter, but we must be realistic.

That team there is NO WHERE near finals. Prismal, IF we get him, will not even be close to good form come mid season.

NN is not a ready made AFL footballer.

But hey, i understand, theres not that much to talk about in the off season.

    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.
