He really has gone backwards since his first couple of seasons.

He was better as a rookie than he is now.

Youre a [censored] YM, oh my god.

Why haven't you been banned yet?

Not only has Davey's form been fantastic, but it seems he's being used really effectively. He's taking loads of handballs from half back and penetrates with 10 yard bursts to get us out of defense. He's also taking kick-ins at the crucial stages - the one today where he had nothing ahead, kicked to himself, layed off a 1-2 and got us out of the 50 was brilliant. Most importantly, his disposal skills are outstanding - he never misses a target. He was the one on the ground today who looked like a real class player. To me he is by far our most important player and I love seeing the impact he's making in the first few rounds. Though I think he needs a new nickname - Flash is beneath him now.

He's not really a centre square midfielder unless you can release him into space because he can't win the hard ball due to his size, but my god he's a good kick.

Very good move from Bailey and Flash is really showing us what he can do. He will get harder tags (The Crows will definitely tag him this week) but if he uses his pace properly and we try and bring him into the game with plenty of cheap handballs to him a la the way Geelong bring Ablett into games when he is (Very rarely) struggling.

I have been a critic over the last 2 sesons or so but now am glad to see him taking "the next step". He's role now setting up play from half backish has definately given our team a lift & direction.

i thought he was sensational yesterday - creative, breaking the lines, spotting up players - fantastic (as was Miller who also lead by example ) :rolleyes:

I wasn't convinced Davey would make it as a midfielder.

I am now convinced.

All Australian 2009.

Early call for AA, but not out of the question. He's hitting a purple patch. He seems to have a much better engine and is imposing himself on the teams game by getting all around the ground and positioning himself when needed. Might find himself being tagged soon. Surely, leading the B&F by a fair margin at the moment.

Worst case of counting your Chickens before....

Davey played his best game since 2006. His passing was better than against Collingwood because his passing actually cut the lines and he was able to run and make position with it.

Clearly our best player for use of the pill. However, he is our only avenue at the moment for MFC. Good teams will shut him down quick smart.

Hopefully he will benefit from having Grimes, Wona and Maric brought up.

Grimes coming off the backline with Davey delivering through the middle and Maric around the forwardline, yum

I now have a raging boner.

Certainly this is as good a form patch for Davey as I can remember.

i agrre it is.

Though its a different type of davey, the last time davey was dominating was when he was chasing down players and snapping goals andkicking freakish goals.

Now he dominates possy all over the ground, hes now our quarterback.

I love the flash. He's one of only one or two players in the side who'd get a game for Geelong (who I reckon are the best side in the comp). After really lighting up the scene when he first arrived there's been the perception that he's dropped off a bit. I reckon that's partly because the team has struggled and because he went from being the 5th or 6th concern of the opposition's defensive 6 to being probably our only decent creative player. Is a pleasure to watch and has a lot of courage for a skinny fella. And, what's pretty important given our club's current position, the kids love him.

but it is a new davey from the one we are used to. we can rely on him almost everytime he gets the ball. the old davey was exiting and still reliable and got some incredible goals/assists, but not nearly as consistently as now.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
