I just knew you'd trot out the Dean Cox - I told you so thing - and you're dead right!

Haha. You've had some decent scores RM of late, looks as though your average has increased over the last few rounds. Very good. You'll be hard to beat.

Well done eth38, appreciate the effort. Got your reply re: Jordie; I'll re-evaluate. - You realise I gave up Simpson for McKernan.... ;)

It literally shows how injury, form and suspension can stuff everything

FB: J. Surjan (Port) N. Grima (NM) S. Hurn (WCE) - out of form, injured, dominating

HB: J. Kelly (Geel) L. McPharlin (Fre) J. Adcock (Bris) - all it top form

C: D. Thomas (Coll) S. Thompson (Adel) S. Hill (Fre) - Pretty happy with this

HF: M. Morton (Rich) L. Henderson (Carl) D. Swallow (GC) - Morton's quit, Henderson in the VFL, Swallow's good!

FF: A. Monfries (Ess) L. Franklin (Haw) A. Schneider (StK) - Buddy!!! Schneider and Monfries disappointing

R: M. Jamar (Melb) J.P. Kennedy (Syd) R. Griffen (WB) - Big Rush injured, happy with the other 2

Happy with the midfield. The rise of Daisy probably helps.

Not sure what I was thinking with Morton, but I still believe with a clear head the guy is a massive talent. Should have gone with Nahas! I think I really let myself down by not getting in some better players from weaker clubs (namely Port and Richmond).

You did?

Well, if you're preparing to offer way more than you should, maybe deals can be done ;)

Yes. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and Dappa scored. McKernan lit it up early days...I think our team knocked the confidence out of him at the G. A win for Dappa.

Well done eth38...keep it up. :)

Roger Mellie in fine form.

RR, when drafting one of my own rules I used was buyer beware..ie Fevola, etc so too for the injury prone footballers and weighing up other factors regarding form ie Dean Cox.

Just a reminder Cox was the last bloke picked...and over at UF he won the MVP for 2011 Demonland. What a pick up....

Yep, I drafted the injury prone. You'll see my Round 12 score soon, I had half a team...

And nice work on Cox.

I'm an idiot for having Fyfe written down as my first choice from Freo, then selecting Palmer 2 rounds before Fyfe went because I thought I could use an extra mid instead.

The kid is a star.

Actually looking back and thinking about my perception of certain players pre-season, and then comparing that to how I view them now, is an interesting exercise.

It's fair to say my view has changed quite a bit over 20 rounds.

    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.
