7 of those players I would like to see playing in our starting 18 by round 8:

Grimes- upon full fitness he must be in our starting 18. Along with Bennell, Grimes is the final link in the chain of our defence.

Robertson- will atleast give our young midfield something to kick to for the next 2 years. Important player till Watts and Co come along

Wonaeamirri- boy have we missed out forward pocket! Bailey quoted for saying he expected Wona to be a 20% better play this yr!

Buckley- We have missed his pace and dash. No one else in the team is willing to run the lines like him. Our only runner with pace.

Watts – Future FF, get him in to the team ASAP

Whelan – A great player, crueled by injuries. If he is fit, his talent should not be wasted in Casey.

Maric- Didn't play at Casey (an emergency in case Bartram didn't play i assume), but is EASILY in our best 22. don't know how he hasn't been named yet.

7 players to get into the team in the coming weeks! + Bell and Bartram possibilities! That's a big number.

Players that I would drop to Casey to give space for the above players to come in:

- Dunn

- Jetta

- Bennel

- Bartram

- Newton

- ???

I have info that Bail is the goods and will also push for selection soon given some good performances at Casey. He is a midfielder with good pace and good disposal, we don't have too many of those.

What the coach said … with Peter German

"The match was played in horrendous conditions, particularly early on. We could really only score at one end, but the way we played in the final quarter was nothing short of sensational."

How German rated the Melbourne listed players …

Seniors

Daniel Hughes – Daniel was very good. He got a bit of a knock early, but pushed through it and kicked a couple of goals. He kicked the most outstanding goal of the day, from the boundary and into the breeze about 40 metres out – it was almost from an impossible angle. He came up from the reserves to show some of the class he's got. Daniel also took some fine marks as a hit-up forward. It was a really solid game from him.

Tom McNamara – Tom played at half-back and was in our top four players. He restricted his opponent and also got his hands on the ball. He read the ball really well in the windy conditions.

These 2 caught my eye. Good signs. Hughes showed potential for Sandy before his injuries - quick and a good grab. 188cm and 84kg, 23 in December. Hopefully his body can stay sound. McNamara was I think the youngest player taken in the 2007 NRD, played 3 games for Sandy last year before doing his hammy. Had a few injuries over the pre season but German's reports on him seem very positive. 189cm and 87kg. Turns 19 on the 29th of this month. If he keeps his form up must come into contention for a senior debut particularly in the abscence of Colin Garland.

Great news there for Tom. Was wondering if we'd ever see him pushing for selection. His first game back(?) in the VFL 1's and he's named in the sides best 4 by the coach. Very encouraging signs indeed.

You have to be kidding. One of the brightest sparks this season.

That was the goalkicking list

Read before typing.

The bests provided above, which Tmac is not included in, i'm assuming are written up by the media, rather than internally. German's assesment of Tom's game: "Tom McNamara – Tom played at half-back and was in our top four players. He restricted his opponent and also got his hands on the ball. He read the ball really well in the windy conditions."

Will this Trent Zomer character ever play for MFC?

Will Valenti again?

Add Buckley, Grimes, Maric, Robertson, Wonna, Wheatley, Garland and Green to Sunday's side and all of a sudden there is some depth there, and it is looking a lot better.

Based on that info got to get Grimes, Robbo & Maric into the side for Dunn, Bartram & Jetta. Wonna and Whelan sound like they could probably do with one more hit out for Casey.

For those unable to get to the next game, I'm pretty sure it is being televised live on ABC Grandstand this Saturday.

I haven't seen a few of the new recruits yet so it will be an interesting viewing.

    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
