Bailey might be able to solve one of MY headaches.

Play Newton on Brown!!

Now I've been all for playing Newton all year (or most of it) His last chance I beleive this year to prove he is worth keeping. His last 2 games he has been servicable as a fill in ruckman,but so far he still hasnt done enough.

The limited time on the forward line today,he wasnt effective at all.

So IF Brown was to knock him into next year,I can move on.

And stop hoping Newton can step up another level. :)

Edit: typos (getting late)

Today he was superman, fair dinkum could do no wrong.

He's one powerful bloke, once he has got the ball he shows no fear if he is being grabbed at by one, two or three opposition players, he powers through them to hit a target by hand or foot. He & Grimes, early days still, but they must give the guys around them heaps of confidence.

He did lots of amazing things today. My favorite being chasing down Burton on the wing and knocking him off the ball. Then finished with a pin point pass

I thought Burton had him cold but Chip ended up doing it easily. Quality that lad. Pure quality.

Don't think this beast of a man-child is getting enough love on here.

I started a thread before pre-season stating he'd be AA THIS year. Many thought I was silly, and I'm relatively comfortable with my decision at the moment.

I reckon it's one of those awards you have to miss out on once (just in case your season was a fluke, a la Carroll) before you get it, and once you have that spot you'll be in line for it every year til you retire.

He's putting paid to the theory that CAC was a bad recruiter. Chip came out of NOWHERE in the last 2 weeks of his "superdraft" year. Already a sensational selection, and is probably, IMO, our most important defender. With respect to Rivers, Grimes and Warnock.

Body work is just A-grade!

Plays medium to tall and short.

But the best thing about him is he runs forward kicks long or dishes off and runs forward. Thats right not sideways or backwards. but get the ball out of defence with speed.

Grimes as well he has genuine footy smarts. reads play well and then goes wide or down the middle when asked. coaches dream

he's a great bloke too.

I remember at a family day a couple of years ago i was lining up to get some autographs and was just looking around and spotted chip walking in my direction. He saw me and came straight over to me, signed my poster and had a chat (I asked him for his tip for dreamteam). One of the nicest players i've ever met. The fact that i went to school in Ballarat and he's a Ballarat boy makes it even better haha.

I'm wrapped that he's hitting his straps, because i was one of the people defending him when some clowns on this site were saying he was useless and needed delisting (this was a couple of years ago mind you, but it did happen).

Anyway, Chip you are a champ son, keep it up!

    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.
