Did anyone else notice that both Tom Scully and Jack Trengove seemed to be targetted for soft penalties? On at least six occasions they were penalised for what looked like very dubious reasons. I wonder whether they are noticed more by the umps because of all the publicity surrounding their arrival on the AFL scene. It seems to me they were got at.

Anyone agree?

No, I don't agree. Although I did think the umpring in general was below par yesterday.

Scully gave away a couple of undsciplined free kicks in front of goal yesterday, holding the man and push in the back

type free kicks which he was suckered into. All part of the learning curve for him.

Overall though I thought the two of them were good contributors.

Yes, you can see why the officianados love the look of Trengove. Everything he does is class, and is a very quick tackling machine. Very much in the Chris Judd mode IMO.

It's hard to say the free kicks were undisciplined.

They were a result of poor judgement in the heat of battle.

When they are recognized in the media as stars they will be protected species, just like the rest.

Funny...I leant over and said the same thing to my brother at the game yesterday. Trenners started at 75% of the centre bounces yesterday. Scully held down a wing for 75% of the day. These guys are going to win serious respect this year. And then the psychological pipsqueaks in yellow, white (or whatever) will start seeing free kicks that they never used to see.

It would be nice for a change, right? How many times have we seen Judd, Ablett et al. get the softest of soft free kicks against Melbourne?!?!?!

I dont think they were unfairly treated, but I do think the umpired have it tough when they have to follow the stupid rules they are told to follow. If they dont pay them, they are the ones who are dropped.

There 3/4 holding the balls paid yesterday that I dont understand. Strauss for one, he had the ball for a couple of seconds, nobody touching him. He got tackled for 0.01 of a second, then he handpassed but was still given holding the ball, the commentators were also perplexed.

Then other players get spun 360 and get away with it.

Some players are allowed to do anything while others cant touch a player, unfortunately that is the way it goes.

ALso, how did bloody Heath Shaw get away with his holding/dropping the ball against Green with 2 minutes to go, and Bennels holding the man when he was 40 out with 3 mins to go. Both blatant frees but the umpirse put the whistle away when the game is on the line.

What about the last quarter?????

Shaw trying to evade a tackle and getting caught - no free.

Bennell on the MCC wingheld around his lower legs no less reaching out for the ball on the turf 2metres in front of him!!!

Umpire 22 missed the most disgraceful holding free to the Dees in our backline and 20 seconds paid a soft holding free against Scully (who had knocked the ball clear in his tackle) for a Filth goal.

Robbed.

    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
