Grumpy analysis today! :o

Garland was very good for mine. He oozes class and is a very smart player. Incredibly happy to have him back on the field!

And McKenzie was terrific too.

Watts was not our best, but he was very good. He played in front of his opponent all day, he ran hard, he put himself in the contests and his set shot on goal is orgasmic. He is obviously a lot fitter now than 4 or even 2 weeks ago, because he makes more contests and runs harder. Though hopefully he spends less time on the wing and more down in the forward 50 from next season onwards.

And while there have been some terrible injuries this weekend, and some heartbreaking ones too, I'm pretty shattered about Grimesy. Stupid f'ing Etihad surface! :(

Bartram - has exhausted welcome - should have a spell at Casey but not exhausted.

Bate - had no influence - well, yeah

Bennell - rarely gave whimper - bit hard when it's hardly in his area. Ok when it was

Bruce - excellent first half - used the ball better than most games this year

Davey - rarely showed interest - good with the ball, wouldn't have known where Jones was though

Dunn - lively and involved - playing his role well.

Frawley - kept at task - better than Milne in 1 on 1's but let him slip badly at a couple of thrown in's.

Garland - was rarely noticed - could've been better

Green - still all class - yep

Grimes - injured and missed - yep....DEVASTATED! :(

Jamar - had little influence - beaten well early and worked hard to have more touches & almost double hitouts than Gardiner

Jetta - did almost nothing - his lack of influence is increasing by the week

Jones - taught a lesson - struggled

MacDonald - tough but slow - tries hard, turns it over

Moloney - displays diminishing zest - works hard, good in the contests, looks slow at times

Rivers - milestone to forget - Riv's struggling a bit

Scully - was rarely noticed - looked a bit tired today skull

Trengove - a rare winner - looked like game 113 not 13 for Trengove, he is a star

Watts - our best player - no that was Trengove but doing some better things each week, not killing it & needs to go harder, goal from 50 in 2nd all class

McKenzie - overwhelmed by class - harsh, wrong assessment that! 24 touches, 5 tackles and one of our better players

Spencer - an underwhelming display - uncoordinated, could be more damaging if was less unco

Jaded has nailed it with regards to Watts. He's looking much fitter than his debut game where he was knackered after about 10 minutes. Today was probably his best game for the club, not a break out game but a game to build on for sure.

Agree, game to build on. Should play evey week from now on (which I am sure is the plan). Hopefully will spend more time closer to goal with each week. Good that he is working hard up the ground to become involved.

Yep. He seems to learn something each week. I was happy with most of his work today.

I wonder why Dunn has started to hit some form?

Maybe, because he is being played as a forward now.

Lynden, you can thank the MFC for wasting the past 2 years of your football life.

I hope the last two years has been a very good development period for him. He is just showing that he could make it as a forward.

I would say that the last two years have taught him a huge amount about defensive work. That will stand him in good stead as he is asked to take on the rebounding defenders week after week and shut them down while still scoring a goal or two himself. It's a good role for him and he could be very good for us filling it.

I was at the game, and have the following to add:

Jamar was solid, but failed to dominate.

Watts worked hard, and was a target to kick to. He is building some form and is looking good.

Dunn is starting to lock down a forward role in this team- he is here to stay.

If it was not for Bate's red hair, I would not have known he was playing. He was owned by the saints backline.

Spencer is too weak/slow for AFL, and lacks the skills to really warrant selection..........he is still the second best ruckman on our list as at todays date. Will get another contracted offer for 1 year, not sure from there.

Jetta goes missing far too often. Can look good when he has it in his hands, but that is rare.

Garland and the back six were under siege, he dealt with it head on and came out on top.

Gosh, if he OP's views on each player are correct, how in hell did we stay competitive for 3 quarters?

Come on, a bit more positiveness won't ruin your week of moaning.

    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

    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
