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.

jetta is also a hard little guy...by that i mean he is tough and can lay a good bump which is good

EDIT: Pretty much everyone was terrible tho Demonator.

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

yeah, fair point mate!

Yeah, how could i forget!

He got amongst it a few times last year, doesnt take sh!t from anyone. Just needs a few more kg's of muscle imo..

We need more of that hardness at MFC. Tappy will help.

That bump Jet layed on Sunday was glorious.. ball was within 5 mts.. wasnt high.. total BS free-kick paid against him!

You could almost feel the freo guy land from where i was! demon_biggrin.gif

Re: Jetta, I mentioned to a Swans supporter mate the other day how good young Lewie looked and he said as good as he looks he'd trade him for our Nev...

Big call, but it shows that even if demon supporters tend to underrate him, it looks like not everyone does.

I rate the kid. Will be an integral part of our future.

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.

I'd say that Jetta is as good as most MFC players at the moment, and would make the 22 easily. :P

Thinking of going it's been a long time since I've been to princes park.

What's parking like is there any available close to the ground?

there is parking provided in the park next to the ground much like they do at the G. I have never done it as i live round the corner so not sure how much it is.

This team has 1410 games experience.

5 players with 0 games experience, 7 players with less than 10 games, 12 with under 20.

12 players with 50 games or more, 3 players with 100 or more, 2 with 150 or more, 1 with 200 or more.

Essendon have 1765

4 players with 0 games experience, 5 players with less than 10 games, 7 with under 20.

12 players with 50 games or more, 6 players with 100 or more, 2 with 150 or more, 1 with 200 or more

Roughly 14 games per player difference.

Some of the Essendon stats may be incorrect as it's tough to work with their website. But interestingly, they seem to be where we'll be at in a few seasons.

We'll have a few more with 100/150 games experience and something of note, in my view, is that 7 of their players have between 20-50 games experience with the other youngsters basically having played no matches. We only have 2 players with between 20-50 games playing today.

It seems whilst Essendon's quality younger brigade have now played between 20-50 games, ours have yet to reach that mark.

Where the puck is Tom McNamara? Not in the squad, not on the injury list. Weird. Should be playing IMO. Especially since players like Bartram, Bell and Newton make the squad.

Looking forward to seeing what Rohan Bail's got. The only time I've seen him was in his debut vs North, where he played not much more than 5 minutes.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
