you cant have spencer and meesen in the one team surely

Why not? Surely they couldn't be worse than PJ who is supposed to be a ruck-rover type but he usually can't get the ball and has little idea when he does. I had high hopes that he would come on this year but now I am convinced he is just another list clogger. If Meeson and Spencer are going to be the ruck future of the club why not let them learn the hard way this year when their bad games will only mean we get beaten by a couple more goals rather than in a year or so when it might make the difference to the 4 pts

In: Maric, Spencer, Junior

Out: Sylvia, Meesen/Johnson, Jetta

Spot on. But leave Meese in. He was commendable against a good ruck duo. I`m a PJ fan but he is very ordinary this year bordering lazy or extremely unfit. Jet unlucky but he has had a taste and needs a couple of weeks in the magoos and Maric is a must next week. Junior a good swap for Sylvia who is a waste of space and I could not be arsed typing the reasons why he should not play seniors for a month.

In - Spencer, Wonaeamirri, Maric

Out - Johnson, Dunn, Sylvia

Johnson being omitted is a must. He showed no endeavour for the ball, and when he had it he disposed poorly. Keep Spencer and Meesen as the two rucks until Jamar comes back for mine.

Love to hear everyone thoughts.

My thoughts:

Maric and Wonaeamirri both in (if fit)

Out- Dunn, Sylvia

I know he is frustrating, but guys, Sylvia will NOT be dropped. Only miss next week if susp. Was named in best and Ive said it before, we need all the senior players we can get atm, but yes I know he is frustrating! He showed a little bit today, just his effort seems to never be there. Its actually quite sad!

Wonaemirri still 2-3 weeks away!

IN: Maric, Mcdonald, Bail, Newton (if Sylvia suspended)

OUT: Jetta, Dunn, Bartram, Sylvia*

The Bail 4 Bartram more what Id like to see, however I think Bartram will play, im just not a big rap, far too defensive, gives us no real drive the other way!

I would not have him in the side even if fit but accept that he will come in. Will be for Dunn or Bartram.

Has Bartram been not to kick the football? He looks unconfident when he has the footy....always looking to draw man and give handpass. Not the same player from 2 years ago when he started like a jack-rabbit.

A couple of people have suggested dropping Bruce and Milller.

Miller- worked his but off today. tried sooo hard. If he played for a half decent team he would've kicked 7 today. A few times he made perfect leads only for Mclean and others to miss him. Also laid off a couple of times he could'v goaled himself. He bleeds for the team each week, more than most others.

Bruce- is probably our best player. rediculous suggsetion to drop him.

McLean laid 8 tackles today, far and away more than anyone else on the field on either side. There is absolutely no chance in the world he will be dropped on the back of that.

He's been under the pump on this site lately, but I don't care what anyone thinks; 8 tackles is the epitome of midfield pressure.

They were pretty critical of Sylvia on SEN but he was named in the best on the club website.

In: Maric

Out: Jetta

McDonald, Robertson and Whelan are obvious selections if fit.

Bailey said at interview that Robbo and Whelan would need at least 2 x 100% game time in Casey 1's before being considered.

For me:

Out: Sylvia, McLean/Jones (or both), Johnson

In: Maric, McDonald, Spencer

McLean's stats look good, but his kicking is very poor. Ditto Jones- witness the pathetic set shot at goal in 2nd term - a turning point.

I doubt Jetta will go - Bailey has mentioned him every week in post match press conferences - he's a favoured one.

OUT: Johnson, Petterd, Sylvia

IN: Spencer, McDonald, Maric

OUTS:

Paul Johnson is one of my favorite players, and i've always been biased towards him, but he has just been crap this year. Looks like he's carrying an injury of some sort, as i'm not sold on him being 'just lazy'. He's never shown to be lazy in the past, and his work rate and pace is waaaay down on last year. At times it looked like he was moving in slow motion today. Spencer should come back into the side to give PJ a break and/or a big kick up the arse. It's now or never PJ, with the lack of experience in our ruck division, he reallly should be stepping up, but sadly has failed miserably thus far.

Petterd is an intersting one, i really like him and rate him as a player, but he's failed to make any impact since his good performance in round 1. Was shifted to defence later in the game to get the ball into his hands, but did little to really hold his spot IMO. His kickout to Rivers in the pocket that went out of play was laughable.

Sylvia, well, as is the way with him these days, just didn't do enough. Not sure if he'll get dropped, maybe Jetta might go instead, but i know i'd give him another run at Casey if i were DB.

IN:

Junior will come back in if he's fit, Maric was apparently very good again at Casey for the 2nd week in a row and deserves his chance sooner rather than later. Spence will need to replace PJ in the ruck. Pretty straight forward changes for mine.

McDonald will come in too. So:

Rubbish. Sylvia was yet again ineffectual yesterday. I would love to know how the club or whoever wrote that article came to the conclusion that Sylvia was one of out best.

It's a joke that Sylvia is in the bests. He would have featured in the worst 3 that Triple M do.

For the first time in your life you are 100% correct. His season so far has been pathetic, his season last year wasn't much better it was just that every other player was worse. Played on Gray early and got a bath missed a goal when we were still in the game like last week against Collingwood he is a junk time specialist.

IN : MARIC, MCDONALD, NEWTON, SPENCER

OUT: SYLVIA (SUS), P.JOHNSON, PETTERD, DUNN

I'd keep Petterd in, in my opinion he is more reliable than Newton.

    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.
