You take Freo for fools. There selection of Hill shows they now know how to spot real talent.

They got slaughtered in the midfield. If they get first pick, why wouldn't they take the head and shoulders best footballer available? :wacko:

No decision is beyond the Fremantle Football Club, Rhino.

:lol:

I think last night was Mark Harvey's death sentence. The derby is going to be fascinating... they both can't lose... West coast winning is good for us, Freo replacing their coach could be just as good.

Make no mistake about it.............without intervention from the coaching dept, this team will win more than 5 games this year, and we will lose the number 1 pick!

The work rate is back up from the team, and the difference now is, they have belief!

Will be a very interesting run home!

Yep, all of that and don't underestimate the power of self-interest. I believe it was Peter Costello who said "In a two-horse race always back self -interest. At least you know it's trying!" A lot of our blokes are playing for their careers - they quite rightly couldn't give a bugger about what might best get better players to the club! Intervention from the FD is the only thing which will ensure we keep to the 4 wins!

We will need more than that!

Yes we will. I actually thought the coaches had a real crack at losing today but Port are just that ordinary they couldn't get over us. On today's form I thought we were 8 goals better than Port, we won by less than 2. I'm confident Scully's ours. I think our FD knows the importance of this draft.

I dont think the MFC coaches did that today. But what can you do when the opposition's senior list squibs it?

Either way, the footy dept knows they are safe for next year, but would also be aware that if they bring a kid like Scully into the club next season, he will help us improve in his first season, and subsequently improve their chances of sticking around longer as well!

We will know what they are thinking in the next few weeks.

If we get more than 4 wins this year then the Footy Dept should be sacked. They would be far from safe.

With Scully out of our reach, who should we take?

Trengrove the obvious one if we get pick 2.

Scully's ours, and yes Trengove does look good. Butcher will be looked at, as will Morabito

Glad to see someone thinking positive.

Should Scully not become a Dee, I liked Morabito - Go home factor is big though. Butcher looked overawed at the Championships and our need for a KPF is less after drafting Watts. Trengrove looked good and is the obvious second choice.

Why is it big?

Is it big for Cale Morton..? Or Jetta or Bennell? Was it for Jared Rivers?

I don't agree with this assessment.

I think its a false consideration invented by the football media so they have something else to speculate on when its a slow news day.

    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
