Man is he good. Goodes, Pavlich, Goddard are my preferred type of player for the number ones in the comp.Yes for me ahead of the Abletts, Judds, Swans, Pendelbury. Runners run with the tide. Large athletic utilities, more often that not turn the tide. Goddard would have won the Norm Smith if it included the two games combined. He was the series winner.

Morton will one day be a poor man's Goddard, if we're lucky.

If we're really lucky he'll be even better.

Would be absolutely ecstatic if he was a poor mans goddard! for mine goddard's overhead marking ability makes him such a gun. like morton struggles a touch with his kicking sometimes but his strength overhead is honestly elite. please please cale get this good haha

I know him and love the way he plays footy from a junior was always gonna be an elite afl player but i remember in his first few years he really struggled with the pace and to find his spot in the side, i don't rate morton as high and never followed him as a junior but i think the guy has got some simular ability to goddard. The main difference Goddard has reached his potential and Morton has not even come close..... yet. lets hope he can cause every team would love a Brendan Goddard!

Goddard's game from last week will go down in History as one of the greatest of all time.

His Tank in the last Quarter was beyond brilliant.

I think if they had've won it would've . Now ... Dunno .

it will be remembered. the '77 draw is well remembered, the replay not so much.

Twiggy Dunns mark and goal is remembered , the rest , not so much .

Goddards mark was the greatest in a GF IMO though , for timing , height and to put them in front late .

Big call on Morton being our Goddard .

Morton will never have the grunt of Goddard or the Elite kicking skill .

Disagree, but it depends on your definition of grunt. Morton's stamina is elite. It was when we drafted him and it will only continue to improve with more preseasons.

If we are very lucky, he will be just as good. Morton has the make up to deliver what Goddard can, the mental fortitude? Not sure. Goddard didn't use his height anywhere near enough early in his career.

Goddard is a fantastic player, but he had people certainly question his ability as far as being a # 1 pick was concerned. From saints fans especially and others, very similar to the mixed comment Jack Watts has generated.

He tailed off yesterday as the pies dominated. Without picking up a Norm Smith, IMO he was the best player across both games.

Not even close to Leo Barry's.

Last chance for West Coast, all the pressure and attack being thrown at Sydney, no flag for 70 years.

Yes, agree. Leo Barry's was in a pack of about 10 and won the game. Goddard's was magnificent but not as good.

Goddard never had the grunt of Goddard until he was called out for it a little bit and almost over compensated at some stages. It all comes down to desire. Can Morton discover an aggression for the ball? Time will tell indeed.

    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

    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
