Bail - fearless attacking game

I have become a massive fan of Bail, he is quick, glides across the ground, gets the hard ball and uses it well. I've mentioned it before but I saw him play for Casey and he was fairly average but when playing for Melbourne he seems a lot better, suits the way the game in the AFL is played more.

I was at the intraclub practice match at the start of the year and was amazed to see him line up on Jurrah. At the time I needed to dig out a team list to figure out who the guy was. However, it was clear that the club had plans for him from that moment. To play him on Jurrah was telling everyone how highly rated he is by the coaching panel and he's showed us this year that it is more than justified.

You are right about the gliding across the ground - amazing to watch really.

I wrote the following in April - nothing has changed.

.......

Bail also brings an X factor. Look no further than the first goal against the filth: running for and demanding an over the top pass before running into an open goal. How many of us can remember such daring, taking the game on from a demon player?

Make no mistake, Bail is an absolute gun. (Perhaps I should say: he could be an absolute gun? :))

Garland - Career best game

Garland's game in 2008 against a rampaging Buddy was his best I reckon. Buddy kicked 100 that year and Garland held him to 2 or 3 from memory - when we were shizen.

Not taking anything away from that particular game, but Garland and Buddy are a good match athletically, but to see Garland beat a forward much much stronger than him, was great. It was a side of his game that I haven't seen from him yet.

I bless the medical team and our good fortune for getting him back on the field. It would have been a massive blow to lose him to his dodgy foot, when he has the skills, pace and strength to become an elite defender. Hopefully good management will see him play 200 games for us.

GOAG... Bail is super. Love this kid.

A great team is made up partly of it's big 5 or 6 players... they get all the press. But they're nothing without second tier guys. Bail is a little ripper. His use may not be extraordinary, but it's useful. And when the pressure is on, his kicking doesn't wilt.

He's got pace, smarts, he goes is good and hard. He's making BP look VERY clever. One of my favourites. A player I feel justified getting behind. I reckon he could be our next Nathan Brown type.

But despite that he boasted to the media before the game that he would kick seven tonight:)!!!

TALK IS CHEAP!

My Brother lives in Brisbane and follows the Lions, he says the talk is that a large part of the club ( Not just supporters ) want him out. Their big problem is he has almost no currency. Is there a club that would take him for nothing let alone give the lions anything?

My view last night was "as soon as he was gone the Lions Forwards fired up."

It was like they said thank god he is out of the road!

Same, as soon as Fev went of i got worried it might give Brown more space. If he kicked a few he would get his players and the crowed going.

Also i was enjoying Garland give him a belting.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
