1. Jurrah

Rivers - wound the clock back today. A full preseason and he could well become what he initially promised - Very exciting

Morton - cool, composed, strong marks, great rebounds, all class

Davey - Wow, that was truly exceptional

Valenti - Great game, Is it enough for another year, time will tell

Bate - moving very well, looked pretty good below his knees today and it was wet.

Jurrah - Had to give him a vote just for that goal.

Special mention to Dunn - kept Pavlich on a tight leash, provided some strength and dash, may have turned a corner

Hard to give votes but I want to mention Dunn for doing a really good job on Pavlich, who is one of the best players in the competition and who generally rips us a new one. Dunn has really stepped up since coming back into the team, which is fantastic to see.

Valenti was superb. Not sure where his future lies, but he is an animal and plays taller and quicker than he actually is.

Jones has finally learnt to lower his eyes when kicking and McLean was good after his rest (but then obviously decided to get himself killed again :rolleyes: ).

And today was probably the most complete game I have ever seen Davey play. Phenomenal.

6. Davey - broke the game open with pace and pinpoint passing

5. Jones - Hard at it all day.

4. Jurrah

3. Rivers

2. McDonald

1. Petterd

I could give votes to soooo many more players

I'm not the first to say it but Valenti also had an excellent game. However a few too many errors in disposal by hand and foot cost him votes in my books but I know he can get to the level because he will keep working hard.

6. Davey... Shoe in or the Bluey this year, surely.

5. Bate

4. Jones

3. JMac

2. Rivers

1. Jurrah

There are at least another 6 who deserve to be counted easily in that group. That may be the hardest 6 in recent memory. Morton, PJ, Valenti, Petterd, Robbo, Jeez the list just goes on and on.

I love Jurrah for being the impact player we've needed since Davey moved up the ground. He does it against everyone, and only needs 10 touches. Opposition coaches will be going grey just thinking about him, which puts him in a league unlike any other kids running around for the squad right now. Is he eligible for the Rising star next year?

Special mentions must go to Morton, McLean, Jones, Frawley, Rivers, Dunn, Paul Johnson, Robbo, Miller, McDonald. Pretty much the whole team.

And Dean Bailey, recognising this was his big day to sure up his final win for the year, his match-day tactics were spot on. The team played the way we hope they will more consistently from next year onwards.

Great point Doggo.

If we were to mark DB on one game given that he's been compromised by the tanking this year, then you couldn't be more pleased... Unless it were the Cats we were playing.

4. Bloody I don't even know, good win. Still trying to get over the Dons getting up, God I hate them.

    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.
