Just watching the replay on the net, and the maturity that Davey is showing is fantasict. If you asked me to suggest Davey as captain material at the start of the year, You would have to be dreaming. He was inperational around the ground, started and created so many opportunities, and if you watch him at 1/2 time, he is encouraging the troops. Boy, if the flash continues like this, he could be a fantasic long term captain!

As I just posted on the captain topic

He's in career best form what a master stroke playing him more down back. Does he ever miss a target?

It is isn't it, not really 'out there', fairly obvious really, but, gutsy determined knowing Coaching, I think.

I'm very happy with the coaching dept', & footy dept's these days...

Another one where DB's influence is not being recognised, yes Davey is flying at the moment, but DB left him out of the side towards the end of last season in the hope of shaking off the niggling injuries he has had for last two years......came back looking a milliion dollars, hardly misses a beat..........DB now knows he can use him in exactly the role he has him in and he will be consistent each week.....easier to plan an actual game plan...........the understanding with his team mates is also getting better and better..........improvement is the big word..........as for Miller..........DB knows how to push his buttons.....has him playing exactly the way we want him to 100% giving the defence hell.........and lifting his teamates and dragging them along with them.....he has also got a protege playing alongside leanring all the time who has a bit more skill but the same grunt....Petterd.............in DB we trust

The were really talking up his kick from just behind centre to Jetta in the 3rd on "On The Couch" (FOX) last night, and with good reason. Tony Greig would have described it as going like a tracer bullet. I'm so impressed with Davey's footskills. I can't think of many targets he's missed this year.

*Of course Healy thought that the kick went to Wonaeamirri but what do you expect from him?

Yeah, the guy probably thinks they all look the same.

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.

Easily Our best player at the moment. He has been fantastic this year playing the loose man in defence racking up the disposals and also kicking a goal against the roos and another against the tiges. If fit for all 22 games will win the best and fairest easily if he keeps going at this rate.

Ridiculous Idea! Flash is his name. Having a great season, i think DB is using him so creatively for the Team. With "Flash" playing well on the MCG we can win some games. "Flash" 40 metre pass to Jack Watts later in the year will get the Stands Rocking. I wait.

That will just make him a one dimensional player, he's got to learn to adapt or he's no use to us, the other small kids will soon pass him by.

I like the role he's playing for us ATM, when we get someone like Grimes or Strauss up & burning, the flash may get a new role across the midfield or maybe grow into an onballer.

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

He was better as a rookie than he is now.

No way. Davey has taken a step forward this year, not to mention he has been arguably our best player in all our four games. His 2008 season was slightly interrupted and a bit out of form but now he is right back in the thick of it.

I picked him at the start of the year for the B&F, so far it's a pretty good prediction i reckon! It was interesting watching his reaction to kicking that goal v Tigers, i think he misses getting those opportunities.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
