Bartram - not the worst

Bennell - had no involvement

Bruce - good under pressure

Davey - prolific , not damaging

Frawley - lowered his colours

Garland - poor before injury

Green - our only winner

Grimes - needs a rest

Gysberts- most impressive debutant

Jamar - had no influence

Jetta - seemed totally intimidated

Jones - taught a lesson

MacDonald - tough and useful

McDonald - rarely near ball

Miller - couldn't repeat heroics

Moloney - needs a rest

Morton - little to commend

Rivers - game from hell

Sylvia - made no impression

Warnock - was not sighted

Watts - nothing to excite

Chip was very very good on Johnson.

After he kicked 2 early in the game, Chip absolutely dominated him and gave us plenty of drive off the half back line.

Bartram did a great job on Burns too. He has really resurrected his career.

The rest of the backline had a bad day, although I think Grimes did a reasonable job down back, but wasn't able to give us any forward drive whatsoever.

Grimes - so he has a quiet day and needs to be rested - thats ridiculous. he is not 12 years old, allowed to have an off day.

Watts - Crucified by shocking coaching.

Bailey - No plan B.. shocking day in the box.

Agree and agree Chip and Bartram. Also thought, although not great, Wonna showed enough to keep him in.

Not sure what wona showed. He was slow to read the game, waited for the Geelong player to get the ball then try to tackle. Agree with you Redleg!

Why would Grimes need a rest? He was ok today.

Moloney tries his guts out. Jamar was good. James Mc struggled, but i think he should be used off the bench. Hard to do it when he has been playing so well.

Would you make a better Coach, 'Demon 3'?

So you think Bailey told him to play from behind on every single occasion.

No, but i am sure a kid playing his 6th game might have liked to battled it out against one man and not 2!

Im sorry, i thought this was the place to share your thoughts about what happened today.

So no need to be a smart Ar$e about it, i just think he was comprehensively out coached and it was fairly obvious to most...

.... here we go.

Dont give me "here we go".. im not calling for him to be sacked..

Dont be so precious. The coach..any coach should not escape scrutiny on a bad day, just like players.

Allowing a loose man in a Geelong defence is just a horrible mistake. they have a great defence as it is, why give them an extra leg up by allowing a roaming player to pick off any attack coming inside 50.

Frawley was our most influential defender.

McDonald & Moloney - Rarely near the ball and need a rest? Two of the BOG for us, 22 & 25 possessions respectively!

I don't agree with your comments entirely, but I do agree with your point about sharing your thoughts. Keep it going....

er ....?? Who's being precious? Thought this was "the place to share your thoughts".

Were you expecting everyone to agree with you?

Meanwhile, back on thread, my one-word player analysis for the whole 22: Tired.

    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.
