Morton is unbelievable!

Anyone who says he can't kick should get their eyes checked.

I don't want to get carried away by one half of football but there was some fantastic play there by the Demons who have definitely shaken the Doggies...and Cale Morton is a budding superstar.

Pity we can't get more supporters down to see them play.

OMG thankyou. I keep reading on the CALE MORTON thread people saying he is a bad kick but he is a great kick and has fantastic composure.

This kid is still so young and he is getting so much of the ball.

Sorry im very biased with cale, But he is such a tallent.

Cant ask for anymore from our players. We didnt win (which i was not unhappy about, shh) and a lot of our young players did well.

The ONLY negative for the match was petterd. 7 touches and 1 goal it pretty poor.

Yeah... but he kicked the clutch goal that Miller and Sylvia (and Robbo) couldn't!

He is playing as a forward so that means nothing. He was poor.

You were the one who gave us his stats, so it obviously does mean something.

When you are playing a fair bit as a 4th option forward, you will have games where you won't see much of the ball.

My point is, if he had of played off the half back, like he has before, he could have easily picked up 20 touches, and then you would not have mentioned him.

You dont get it. I was saying he is playing in the forward line, so you telling me he would get more disposals in the backline means nothing beucause he is playing in the forward line.

you can only base him on his performance. I like petterd but can admit when he is not playing that well.

I can see your point but he is not needed in the backline.

Hope he does better next week.

Cheney had another solid game. His attack on the ball a number of times set up thrusts forward. He's worth another next week. Another thing I realised is he's quite tall. I remembered him being around Peter Walsh's height, but maybe I was just blinded by the comparisons the first few times I watched him. When he stood next to Johnson, he was comfortably taller than him.

Johnson is smaller than what you would think. Cheney is only just 6 ft. 184 cm.

Your right Mr Morton.......

But the truth is that playing out of our forward line can be very difficult at times (delivery can be very suspect very frequently, despite the excellent intent), and therefore if you are judging a player simply on possessions then it is way harder to get these when up forward than it would have been if playing in the back half. He wasn't terrible either, just not as good as we have seen. He'll be better.

Petterd is not a forward. As a result, he isn't having as big an influence on games as I think he could be having. He should be played up the ground. But since Bailey seems to want to play him there, then we have to judge him on his work as a forward, which hasn't been that good. I'd prefer it not to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the team next 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.
