Wondering which of our new recruits we see as being regulars starting next year.

I think it was general opinion before the draft that both Scully and Trengove would be playing from Round 1... what about Tapscott now, who has been described as having a mature body that is ready to go?

The other thing to consider is who will be assisting Jamar in the ruck and whether Fitzpatrick goes forward or in the ruck.

You wouldn't expect the two talls to play much next year, but the first 4 we will see. Thank the AFL for our early draw Scully and Trengove will get to start their AFL journey with what should be two matches at the MCG in front of 60,000+, add in the Richmond game in round 4 hopefully 50K+ what an experience.

If we are looking at Round 1 and Junior is fit he will be in the 18. We must dreaming if a young side with a lack of experience would have their experienced captain starting on the bench and not on the ground.

I like the look of Tapscott.

I think he's a ready made player with an already impressive frame. From all reports has good kicking and contested marking ability. A good flanker.

In your Team 45HG I'd go with that but exchange Petterd with Tapscott on the Bench.

Sorry Ricky.

Geez, a lot of boys need to prove themselves to get a game now! What a sight! :-)

The below team is the team that is most likely the one to line up, given that I think players like Garland and Wonaeamirri will be out with an injury etc..

Isn't it great assuming everyone is fully fit that there's now some competition up for spots. Looking over most of the teams Neville Jetta isn't in any of them. This is a kid who played 10 pretty handy games for a first year player last season, kids like him are only going to get better and that's where our improvement will come. Not only have we recruited some players who could become top shelf but we've alose managed to get our hands on some great depth.

Well, there you go Neita, I couldn't fit Jetta, Maric or Wonaeamirri in the side. Probably should have a small forward in the 22. I had Davey in the forward pocket.

It goes to show, as you say, how hot it will be for spots. Particularly if the majority are injury free, up and about. Good problem to have for the FD. It will also help determine the playing list going forward in terms of strengthening the list, if all are in fact on the park, so to speak.

    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.
