Anybody who thinks Miller comes in for Watts........ have a look at Watt's last quarter. The kick across the ground to end up in a Brad Green goal, and the kick to Dunn who was left unmarked in the goal square after a great faked kick.

There is no way Miller makes either play. The kid has vision. and our vision is the future.

NO CHANGE

(Scully out, ummmmmm no.)

Saw those passages and loved them, as well as 2 others down the Punt Rd end where Watts singled out the Walpirri Warrior and slotted the ball beautifully down his throat. Those were grace and poetry in motion - and a little bit of why I just love this country and its culture of equality (sniff). Watts is coming up nicely - I even saw him sprint hard after the ball in a 1 on 2 contest/chase late in the game (!!). Jurrah owes some of his return to form in this match to the accuracy of Watts' boot, the quality of his vision, and at least in those instances, the intelligence of his decision making.

i think its funny that every thing Jack Watts does that is good gets talked about. The Kick to Dunn in the goal square showed good vision, but i dont think it would have been talked about if anyone else had done it!

You're wrong to an extent.

Any promising young player on our list would receive the same praise.

It is especially relevant though, because he is in the large group of players on our list that are still largely an unknown.

I'd hope he has that sort of vision, but to see him display it in a game is the evidence that he does.

The same fuss would be made if it were Scully or Trengove or Gysberts or Tapscott or Bennell or...

Not the same if it were Green or Bruce, for example, because they are known quantities.

J Hird? I liked Jack's game yesterday and he showed plenty of nous.

Funny you say James Hird, Because watching him i thought he so reminds me of Hirdy the way plays.Still has a long way to go to be like Hird, but similar type of player.

out: Bail

in: Miller

Based on ?

Dunn is FF Watts CHF ...wheres Miller going ? Bail's job is vastly different from anything Frosty can do.

Or do you anticpate a rejuggling ? Dont see a great need to.

Why elevate Miller ..what is he going to bring to the game ?

This is another week without Moloney getting in a game, it is getting like Junior, if he is fit this week, he will come back through Casey, can't see them risking somebody who has lost the edge, (listen to Junior on the Club website "I am getting my match fitness back")..against the Hawks, we do want to win this one, I would be very surprised if there are any changes, as for Miller he has not been offered a contract for next season, so obviously not in the plans, so why bring him in?

Oh

Forgive my incompotence

Wasn't sure if you were serious or not.

It's common knowledge I thought.

Either way, if you knew what he meant, the original post gave me a chuckle.

As far as I know Cale was an emergency but had to attend the game as Moloney went out, Jones came in. If we had an injury during warm up then Morton would have come in.

Unhappy players go else where and Bailey has shown he doen't cope well with unhappy players. (EG C Johnson, S Buckley) He prefers to get rid of them. Morton is not the only young player unhappy with their treatment by the coaching staff. ( inside information)

30 into 22 won't go ... and so 8 are unhappy. I'd be worried if we had a group of players who were as happy as Larry when they didn't get a game !

Thank goodness Harrison doesn't rule !

(Sorry - just had to add to the chorus of those who have criticized this mischievous post)

Just thought I'd look back at the Round 1 team & compare it to last weekend's team & was surprised at the number of changes:

Midfield: Sylvia (now) instead of Moloney (then);

Defence: Bail, Garland & Bartram instead of Grimes, Warnock & Strauss;

Forwards: Jurrah, Watts, Wonna & PJ instead of Petterd, Miller, Bate & Spencer.

Some very good players from Round 1 that we're missing, but overall I think we're in better shape to take on the Hawks this week than we were then.

Thats true but the nature of injury is different, Junior had a torn Hammy & Beamer badly bruised thigh, not torn, so i think there is less worry of reinjury with Beamer. However, having said that, it will be interesting to see which way the footy dept wants to go.

I can see Beamer coming in against a physical & desperate Hawks & so, probably the most likely to go back sounds like Bail. He's be handy for Casey as well. Or McKenzie.

Better balance to this team from the Rnd 1 version IMO. Grimes would be more than handy though ;)

    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.
