I thought both Dunn and Petterd spent time on Le Cras, who got a couple of easy goals when left unattended.

I only remember Grimes giving up 1 goal from a direct one-on-one battle with him?? Although it was hard to tell, because the defence became a bit of a mess once Frawley and Rivers finished up.

Does Jack Grimes' kick in turnover count to his disposal efficiency? Unless the defender plays on he doesn't receive a kick in his stat count when kicking out after a behind.

For a 2nd gamer Grimes was very good under a lot of heavy fire. The West Coast forward line had much better service than ours.

Bate was infinitely better on Sunday than he's been in almost any other game this year , thus my ' optimism ' that he may have turned the corner .

IMO Bruce was outstanding on Sunday , and yes he made a few errors , NOT ' turning the ball over constantly ' .

The outstanding aspect of Grimes' game on Sunday was that he turned the ball over at crucial times . I haven't denigrated his overall performance on the day but merely referred to the standout aspect of his game in my 3 word analysis

Sorry, but herein lies the problem with the three word analysis.

Some of you will be glad to know this is my final post.

I have been warned that I shouldn't flame or troll posters.

So I won't

MFC had 22 then 20 players that busted a gut for four quarters, most made a clanger or two and were desperately unlucky not to come away with a well deserved win.

But obviously there is no pleasing some people, as the criticism immediately rears it head again.

It is a very sad state of affairs.

I for one watched the game and came away satisified that everybody put in, that's all I need and can now look forward to the Bulldogs game

Hope you reconsider your situation 'Petjudhome'. As I said before in a recent post you bring a lot of sanity and fair-mindedness to this forum. Keep expounding your thoughts without criticising other posters.

Doesnt it say something about the patience of our Coaching staff when Addam Maric had a horror run last week and they left him on the ground & openly encouraged him to work his way through it. Rewards came this week.

Moloney would be sensational if he kicked the ball half as high as he does, inclined to "bomb"it a bit. Cannot fault his committment.

Did like Bennell & Grimes.

Matty Warnock is quietly becoming a nver valuable player down back. Near top 1% each week. Need blokes like him and Frawley & Rivers.

Quietly worried about Brock Mac's pace.Still admire his grunt.

We still need to improve our "single grab"possession rate. Geelong get away with their game by eliminating fumbles.

Sure, but I do think it's easy to be patient when you're in Melbourne's situation - there's nothing to lose.

    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
