Perhaps I can help. Dunn was an ordinary footballer in the worst side in the AFL. Sadly, it matters little whether he plays or not.

..but you would think he could get a game before players like Bell, Newton, Fitzpatrick, etc..if he was healthy

Shouldn't Spencer be on there?

The second half of his 2009 wasn't too bad so if he goes ok in the last 2 pre-season games, I'm sure he'll be in the round 1 side.

Didn't he pull up sore after the intra-club?

Thought I would get one going as I am keen to hear reports on players.

Can't get there myself unfortunately...

Hope we see some big improvements from last week. I for one am looking forward to

Jurrah bouncing back.

Which players would you like to see some improvement come from? ?

Go Dees.

:lol:

I have been away for a couple days and wondering why davey isnt playing tommorow... and who else has been omitted for what reasons?

I see that newton is back in, which isnt such a bad thing i dont think, sure he is a spud, but we need someone to kick to.. besides jurrah.

So could someone fill me in with the ommisions and daveys reason?

Thanks

nope? no one?

Davey appeared to cop a knock in the intraclub practice match and then had minimal impact and only played in the first half against Freo.

Nothing major I don't think.

All of them. Including the ones who didn't play last week.

I would also like to see the Bombers forward line fall on their collective face and give us a real glimmer of hope for our game later in the season.

Excellent. Newton's in. I hope he plays and is given the opportunity he deserves. Melbourne needs a forward. Even a crap one will be better than no one.

I'm sorry.

Did you actually say that Newton 'deserves' an opportunity?

For doing what exactly?

I'll probably be keeping a close eye on Grimes, Jurrah, Trengove, Bell, Frawley, Scully, Maric.

I'm usually pretty useless with player analysis in live matches however.

LJ's probably a given atm..

I prefer to watch the overall style and play and wait for players to announce themselves to me.

A good Eg: Scullys last half, last quarter in particular.. wow. Best 1st game Ive seen in a long time.

A re-watch of the game confirmed this for me and i wonder if some missed just how good it was due to the circumstances!

A sharp, sharp mind.

jetta's reason might be the fact that he was rubbish. do not think he would be close to making our best 22 if wona and maric are playing well.

Yeah, for some reason he's very underestimated here at 'land..

I think he's a big part of our future. His 1st year was as good as Bennys imo.

Kicked some great goals and had impact like his cousin lewis had recently with the swans..

the difference being the swans win games, so its noticed.

May end up on a wing / davey-type HFF..(with LJ, wona, possibly maric they can all fit if warranted)

His instinctive, natural style wont see him go unnoticed for much longer imho.

EDIT: Pretty much everyone was terrible tho Demonator.

At least he got some game time on the biggest, best ruckman in the league atm.

    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.
