Excellent response RR.

I guess you need some some variety and surprise in the Bluey. Having said that if our 4 most talented players- Sylvia, Davey, Green and Jurrah all play 20 plus games, then we'll likely win 11 + games.

That means another 5 games from Col and 12 games from Jurrah will give 3 more wins then I will buy that!

However it might require something more.

this years favorite for b&f is davey. hands down.

you have to base it on a player who could walk into any team in the league. Jamar and Frawley could do this but davey has been a consistent performer for so long now. rarely plays a bad game. Plus when melb has been getting flogged he has always put in a strong performance.

davey is vice captain. this is proof he is more than just a good player!

slyvia, grimes, etc...all have massive potential. and could win the b&f...but davey deserves to be favorite.

IMO, it'd be difficult to argue that 5 more games from Col and 12 more from LJ wouldn't have produced 3 more wins for the team overall.

1. Sylvia if he stays fit and plays all h&a games will be almost impossible to beat I think

2. Green, can't see him going backwards and will go back to back if Sylvia has any setbacks

3. Garland is the real smokey IMO, was sensational last season. A full pre season this year and like Sylvia if he can play out the season without injury could make the aa list.

Apologies to: James frawley, Tom scully, mark jamar, jack grimmes and jack trengove.

1. Sylvia - easily if he plays all 22 games.

2. Green - so consistent.

3. Scully - will be a prolific possession gatherer.

Apology - Davey (could pip either of Scully or Green).

Unlucky - Frawley (recovery period so will miss games and needs time to work back into things).

Disagree.

It seems like when Davey gets tagged and only racks up 5-10 touches, we get flogged. It shows his value to the team, but we need him to shrug the tag and be consistent.

He'll win the Bluey the year he does that.

Grimes - Will show again he is our most consistent player

Sylvia - Will get most of the ball in the middle

Green - Never far away from the action, inspirational leader

    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
