I would just like to highlight the fantastic efforts of James Frawley, who did a solid job on the dangerous Stephen Milne yesterday. It really is incredible to think that the same guy can play effective roles on both Stephen Milne and Jonathan Brown...

He's a beauty - has size, strength, pace, marking power and great footy smarts - all the attributes of a great AFL player...and it was wonderful news earlier in the season when he committed to the Dees for at least the next few years, despite attraction from the Gold Coast.

Go Chip. Go Dees.

Go Chip. Go Dees.

I Agree. I was at the game and was suprised to see Chip line up on the rat. The rat looked dangerous all night but the points have to go to Chip. I think Kyle Cheneys job on Goddard also shows he is quite versatile.

And didn't he play him well, he covered him goalside then physically flipped like a fried egg, off his feet then pinned him for the count. In past weeks they would have had to pay the free for holding the ball.

Frawls is a beaut!

He's a corker. I was saying the other day that Trengove is the only player on the list I have zero concerns with... when it comes to pace, attitude, skill, footy brain etc etc, he does the lot. My mate corrected me and said "what about Frawley" and my face was red. That's two names now that are absolute certainties to be selected, injury aside.

I think Kyle Cheneys job on Goddard also shows he is quite versatile.

I'm confused. Cheney got smashed? Goddard had a day out, didn't he? Unless you're referring to the period where Goddard was spoiled three times in a row, I think in the third?

I haven't noticed him @ Full Forward, YET.

The Jordan McMahon game vs Richmond last year he was thereabouts. Kicked one of the late goals that got us in front on the siren as I recall. Ricky P kicked the other?

Indeed - and defenders usually find themselves being sent back to the salt mines of full back for MISSING goals, not for kicking them ....

You know you're a gun when you're the side's best tall defender and the side's best small defender. Is there anything the guy can't do?

Keep his foot behind the line at a point kick in...

Seriously though, he really is developing into a star defender. Dustin Fletcher can play tall and small, but there aren't too many others. I'm not sure Scarlett's that good on the smalls.

""Knights said forward Jay Neagle, who's non-appearance since Round 1 was one of the topics raised in the media, would return to the team this week.""

Pretty sure Grimes kicked the go ahead goal.

Memory tricked me - but JF was certainly in the vicinity when the heat was on. And M. Warnock was a comrade-in-arms at that end of the ground.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
