No I didn't !

Yes, Cam got the ball in the last quarter. He also got it in the first three. He used it well all day too. Getting the ball in the last quarter is also a reflection of a good attitude, pride and fitness. Cam was easily our best.

Yze I don't understand what you have against Cameron Bruce. Last week you were saying the same thing about "junktime" stats.

I have nothing against any player on our list.

I just call it how it is, thats all.

Ah, wrote a decent reply that got lost, pooh so I apologise if this is crap.

Bartram I thought tried really hard and is starting to get into the flow of things.

Bruce - For someone who is usually driven nuts by him, I thought he was really good today.

Bennell looks pretty good and deserves to keep his spot.

Spencer should come back into the team, probably for PJ. He's done little this season and I feel Meesen deserves a few games to show what he has to offer, giving someone one game is useless.

Green is a gun, easily our best player.

Sylvia - utter rubbish. Did nothing to claim a spot he didn't deserve and has done absolutely nothing to keep it.

Bate had a pretty good game I thought, a big step up for previous weeks.

I also rate Frawley and think he could be a decent player for the club.

Jetta needs a few weeks off I think

Mclean - is he injured?

Petterd is a quality player no matter where he bobs up - which is part of the problem I think, we don't know where to play him.

Joeboy, I want to say thank you for these threads. Obviously, not all of your choices I agree with, but it is a fantastic weekly thread that sparks so much talk about our club and it's great you put your thoughts out there.

Thanks mate

Bartram - kept at task

Bate - Clumbsy early but came good in junk time

Bennell - showed some more dash and poise

Bruce - chopped the ball early but came good

Cheney - was used sparingly

Davey - uses ball well

Dunn - should have been used more

Frawley - continued good form

Green - our best player

Jetta - not ready yet

Johnson - not the PJ of 08

Jones - was ok but chop chop

Martin - was good again

McLean - the quickness of the game has left him behind

Meesen - had an opp to show something and did little to enthuse

Miller - workrate high - return low

Moloney - good 1st half

Morton - getting better

Petterd - rarley used

Rivers - was ok today

Sylvia - let us down

Warnock - was killed by Treds

Bruce missed a crucial shot when we needed to apply scoreboard pressure. A dreadful blue from a senior player. He really hurt us.

It was such a lousy miss I was surprised when he did nail one on the run late in the game.

Meesen on this thread has been let down with faint praise. His ruck work was the best by any of our blokes in the first three rounds. I was pleasantly suprised.

Also thought Bennell showed more yesterday. Bate continued to work hard although his pace is a worry.

McLean must be injured although his inside work was better yesterday.

John Meesen really showed something, I am not sure what it is but I think people here pick a player and will hate him and bag him out no matter what he does. He in one game has been our most solid ruckman for the year. As for PJ I think that he is still bothered by that ankle he had in the pre season. He is normally a very agile and very skilful player for his size and I think he is playing under duress at the moment.

And how do you see it? Was Bruce ever good? Is he worth the number that we drafted him at? Or the money we pay him now? Or the spot on our list, or on the field each game?

Please answer these questions for me definitively. Please and thank you.

I think you have prety well nailed it this week joeboy.

Green is our best player by the length of the field.

I'm still not convinced by Morton, but he has plenty of time to improve. We have bigger issues than him I guess.

THose that want pj dropped for spencer must give it some serious thought. Spencer was killed again this time in the vfl. Mcevoy and someone else had a field day on him. He is a horrible user of the ball..

I know pj is struggling but we dont have anyone else atm... He needs some confidence and i agree the vfl might do this as he did win the medal from about 11 games a few years ago.... Not sure why he doesnt have the confidence to take on the afl like that!!

This was Bruce's only fault all day besides that he was sublime, in context it was a stupid pass from Miller. Miller seems to lack confidence when shooting for goal, he wanted to pass when he went for a shot later in the game. Once he builds confidence he should improve immensely as he is a wonderful shot for goal.

I think it's important to point out that three of Tredrea's goals came when Warnock wasn't his direct opponent.

That also means that 3 goals came when he was on him, and obviously not throughout the course of the entire game if Tredrea had other opponents.

Having said that all forwards are likely to kick goals in a big win

Got back from Adelaide after watching game live at AAMI, assiume a lot of comments were from watching the game of Fox, try drinking less beers.

Only take exception with the following:

Warnock had a really good game, with the bombs raining in, Rivers got caught out on Treadrea a couple of times but he had good game as well.

Jones was outstanding as was Bruce, even had a couple of Port supporters ask me who Jones was as they were impressed.

Jetta, what is wrong with you people, he is playing just outside the square, I counted a least a couple of tackles, and he chases and chases and covers, he got a nice goal and gets his hands on the ball.

Bennell was moved forward in the last qtr after a good game in defence and showed he is going to be a good player.

Bruce was outstanding, same with Davey and Green.

I was only disappointed in Sylvia (again0 and the middle, actually got the ball but looked 'slow' , Moloney, McLean need a somebody zippy next to them, Davey tries it but can't be everywhere.

Jonhson was underwhelming

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
