Lot of people calling him to be dropped throughout the week.

Just wondering what did you think of his game today?

Who the hell was saying that?!?

Eagles were going to pick him at #36 last year and were [censored] when we did. It was fun parading him around in front of them.

Grimes - 22 disposals

Certainly shaping up as a great player.

I was one who thought he may have needed a rest (not because I thought he was bad, just young), very glad to be proven wrong and probably have been given faith in young players playing long streaks of matches.

Superb. Bennell showed yet again today that (only in his 1st season) that he will be a great player for the club. Not only did he win the ball, his kicking under pressure and the ability to have the confidence to take players on was very good. With a few more pre-season under his belt in the years to come he will be a vital player if we want to achieve success.

Another one i think you can add to that is Petterd.

Didn't have a massive influence on the game today, but i just enjoy the way he seems to love a big moment, and calmly slots through goals that should be kicked at crucial times, like he did against the Tigers.

Bennell certainly has a great deal of natural talent. Displays poise and awareness well beyond his , well, beyond his seven games to date. Also has tremendous balance and ability to win the ball.

Could become anything.

No doubt as a young player there will be times this season that he may go missing. But he hasn't yet. I think he's shown something in each game he's played.

Cannot help but be impressed.

This kid flows like warm honey......... Smooth over the ground, and his kicking action is almost faultless. Hard to believe he is just a pup with half a dozen games under his belt. When he has around 50 games experience, and has gained the confidence of being a member of a side who regularly wins game ( which by that stage Melbourne WILL do), he may well turn out to be a star.

Yes i'll admit I was one of them, but that was only because of managing him throughout a long first year. On his form today you wouldn't drop him. Still think they should be careful with him however. He will be a gun this guy!

that much of a suprise? is a product of the WA system, so has been training and playing with men for a year or two already

its just nice to have someone with pace coming out of the backline, that can hit someone 40m away on the [censored], instead of going 30m in the air, and going down the other teams throat (coughwardbuckleybellcough)

would love for him to be able to progress through to the midfield as well, a clearance specialist ala s.burgoyne :D

getting either mr wona or mr jetta back in the team would be nice too, extra bit of magic on the flank for benny to kick to

He will be fantastic in our future premiership side at only 18, he is showing class now. He may not get a NAB nomination but he will be reliable every week.

    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.
