Skipper and Muston are the surprises for me.

I'd have Skipper over Paul Johnson anyday.

Skipper would be a very decent option for a rookie list spot, as insurance if Jamar goes down injured at all.

Skipper has shown this year he can be competitive at afl level if he's called upon. He's not a star, but would be a handy insurance policy.

There is no doubt in the rookie draft we're going to pick up a mature age ruckman from some lower league, Skipper at least has some proven form at afl level.

My Council gives you 4 waste collections a year. I trust the Hawks abide by the rules and properly ties up all that garbage and places in small piles outside on the front nature strip.

Which Beau was it that debuted with a BOG against us last year?

Muston.

Honestly calling your son Beau...... :rolleyes:

Skipper at least worth a look.

Maybe so.

Ranga Ediriwickrama was delisted by the cats. I thought he could play... I guess not.

Great name though.

Gee, that's a lot of delistings.

For a team that has been crying out for ruckmen for two years, I'm surprised they think they're well off enough to drop Taylor and Skipper. Especially given Skipper played a healthy portion of this year in the seniors. Including the final vs Freo. As an insurance rookie he couldn't be that bad, but I would prefer us to play Martin.

The rest are all duds, with the possible exception of Carl Peterson, but his head isn't in the right spot. Apparently nor are Dowler's or Hooper's.

Muston played one good game. It was agaisnt us last year on debut.

I wouldve thought the name Ranga would give him automatic entry to a spot on our list.

Rookie maybe...

He was supposed to be the goods & it was said the cats got a steal when they took him on a NSW scholarship.

Wow.. Thats pretty strange..

Skipper

Dowler

Moss

I think all must be looked at, Skipper was improving throughout the year I thought?

Wasn't there talk earlier about dowler being alright, just needs a break from injury and spot in someones forward line?

And moss was a decent football for some of the game I saw?

Hawks are making some strange decisions............

Haven't played close attention to the hawks, but...

I don't rate Skipper any higher than PJ;

Dowler was struggling to get a touch in the Box Hill reserves;

and Moss, from memory, struggles to hit a target and everything else about him is average (no outstanding qualities).

Pass, pass, pass.

Muston would be the only one i'd consider as a rookie, and his body is probably spent.

Big clean out ; Sqawkers obviously to use all picks + psd . Massive call for them given the contrived draft .

You'd think Skipper could get a game this year if halfway ok ... Simply can't be , most others either injury magnets or not up to the job . Mfc might talk to Wade I suspect as formality .

Hawks wouldn't want to slip up huh !! Lol .. That'd be a damn shame

hawks have made a lot of room...i can see them loading up on youth at this years draft.

Bad year to do it.

GC gets all the picks and GWS gets all the 17 year olds (although they wouldn't be available anyway).

I thought maybe they'd keep a few on 1 year contracts so they could load up some more next year with better picks.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
