Newton in. We've stooped that low. Sad. Miller's career is over it seems.

Rivers out hurts, though some will disagree.

Has a bit of a feel of deckchairs on the Titanic to it really. They're both reasonable ins though.

Disappointed that Sylvia's not back yet, and hoped we'd find someone better than Dunn, but looking at that emergencies list, it'd seem we're pretty close to the bottom of the barrell anyway.

Not that they will line up like that, but I like the look of a Scully Green Trengove full forward line.

The Collingwood defenders would much preferred to have seen the name Miller up there let me tell you.

Hope the young boys and Greeny run amok!

Newton has to be given his chance. No Presti will at least make that slightly easier. Miller had to be dropped. Rivers had no clear match up this week so Bail for an injured Rivers is not a bad inclusion. To make changes you have to have players to bring in and unfortunately Sylvia not being judged fit probably restricted what we could do.

We certainly are scraping the barrel here arent we?

Interestingly from the MFC story Newton had 29 possies and 4 goals last week, so good luck to him, he's earnt the callup from hard work.

The article also states which 3 players are actually on our long term injury list to allow the now 3 rookies to play:

"and joins fellow rookies Jake Spencer and Jordie McKenzie on the senior list in place of injured trio Max Gawn, Luke Tapscott and Liam Jurrah"

Whilst I'm not against bringing Bail in, I see more upside to McNamara, and I think he would have been a good selection.

I disagree re: Rivers. If he has no clear match-up he could play loose, a tactic Bailey usually employs.

I don't want to say I told you so (well, I guess I do).

I'm certain they just make that up to have something to say on the night.

I wouldn't go that far.

Last week they put Spencer and Mckenzie in - before they were promoted. I seriously doubt they just made that up. But yes, I refer to my posts last week where I originally said they seemed made up.

Doesnt explain Spencer though

Let's be honest, there's not a lot of competition in the ruck department at the moment. Stefan Martin has been tried there, and he just isn't a ruckman. We have no one else.

Not that I'm saying Spencer is much better, but maybe we're giving Spencer his opportunity whilst he's on the senior list.

I dont think you can afford a loose defender against a forwardline of Medhurst, Didak and Davis. I would also like to see Tmac but dont believe he has the leg speed to play on one of these three which he would be required to do.

........

If we can get it in there, and Scully and Trengove play forward, at least they will show intensity and defensive pressure.

Just got to get it in there. :mellow:

I'd like to see McNamara up forward. Though losing Rivers means we have to bring in a defender, or at least put someone else into defence. But TMac I reckon could be a decent half-forward.

Agree that McNamara would be too slow for any of those three. It's going to be a tough job for Bail.

I don't know, great to see Gysberts get a mention there. Would be good to get a Casey report (practise match tonight I believe) ... Watts, Blease, Garland, Gysberts etc.

I think it will only be round 5 that we start to play our best 22.

From this team compared to round 5 I would include...

In: Rivers, Garland, Sylvia, Wonaeamirri, Watts

Our: Dunn, Newton, Bail, ?, ?

I'd like to see Strauss, McKenzie, Jetta, Blease, Gysberts, Cheney and Bail all play at least 10 games each this season, though they will obviously be in and out of the team.

Then, obviously bring back Jurrah and Morton into the team when they are finnally fit

I also haven't completely given up on Martin and Maric. I haven't written them off as duds just yet

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
