I think one of our young guns could be a chance for a nom this week. Tom Scully was probably the best of the 3 today but Jordie McKenzie and Jack Trengove both played well and have been better so far this year.

All 3 were fantastic at winning their own ball today, Jordie and Jack had 9 contested possies and Tom had 8. Jordie kept up his status as Junior junior with another 8 tackles this week and Tommy had 5 clearances. Exciting times ahead.

I'd like to see Jordie rewarded for a fantastic start to the year. He's been consistently good each week and has stamped himself in our best 22 atm from the rookie list. He'd be top 5 in the league for tackles and after 2 rounds he was top 15 mids in the comp by dreamteam points.

Rohan Bail deserves a mention here as well, don't think he's in the mix this week but I'm incredibly impressed by his disposal and his run, he's definitely been the surprise packet of the year so far for me.

So which of our boys do you hope to see nominated this week?

Nik Nat? 13 disposals, 1 mark, 1 goal? If that's what it takes to get the nod then the standards have really dropped. And especially not when he was overlooked for his 20 contested possession game.

He's gonna get one eventually. May as well get it out of the way early..

I think it's what he does with his touches that impresses. I'd be interested in his hitouts to advantage stats cause I'd be surprised if they weren't already very good, and his mobility for his size particularly down below his knees is freakish. I concede that he wouldn't be as hyped as he is if he didn't have the novelty factor going, but you can see why he gets crowds coming through the gates.

Until today I thought Hanneberry from the Sydney had It sewn up, but after today's match i think it's between him, Scully and McKenzie.

I'd give it to Scully, but I think they'll give it to the swan.

If they hadn't already given it to him in round 2.

NicNat is a sure thing. A good performance in a winning team on a Friday night, combined with being the overall favourite for the award, combined with good performances in all his other games. He's got it locked up.

Well, Scully performed better in a winning team and has had good results for the past three matches also. The only issue for him could be the public profile if NicNat.

NicNat for sure this week but we have some great rising stars within the club and dont need an award or nomination too proove what everyone can already see. IMO Rowan Bail was very impressive again in his 3rd game, can't wait too see Tapscott and Blease!

Did they? Missed that one.

NicNat may be the most eye-catching young player, but it doesn't make him the best.

If Scully gets 30 possessions every game for the rest of the season he could take it. I wouldn't put it past him.

NicNat will get it because there's so much hype about it. But Scully, Trengove and McKenzie have been in the running every week, where as NicNat has been inconsistent, so from that point of view NicNat shouldn't get it.

Interesting that Richmond tagged Scully with Cochin in the 4th quarter. Waste of a good player but shows other sides are taking notice of major Tom.

They also took him out early in the 4th and gave away the free. Scully was knocked to the ground after disposing the ball. He was hurt but didn't show it. Got up (richmond forgot to put someone on the mark) and ran thru the centre to deliver a pass to Duun who goaled.

This kid is something special.

Get used to that.

NicNat will go down as one of the most over-hyped players ever. The way the coaches box for the Toast has been behaving has lowered them in my eyes.

If they don't get it this week it'll be the week after or the week after that - these kids are too good to ignore.

Todd Banfield from the lions is a goer too, he might receive the nod

I watch a lot of footy and I reckon he's the best young player this year by an absolute street.

Yeah, I've only seen him in patches, but Im still trying to figure out where the hell he came from.

Rookie list wasn't he? How??

    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.
