6 - Trengove. Kicked a couple of good goals, and generally won the hard ball and delivered well. Also cleaned up a bit in the back half.

5 - Moloney. Continued his good form from last week. You'd expect him to kill it against the Suns, and he did.

4 - Bail. Has heaps of run and great endurance

3 - Jamar. Needs to work on his kicking for goal, but his tapwork is good, and if he got half the frees close to goal that he should have, he would have kicked a bag.

2 - Jones. I think he's finally worked out how to play around his weaknesses. I expect him to really continue this form into the future because all the things he's doing are very reliable. He's not a flashy player, so he should be able to remain consistent.

1 - Wonaeamirri. Toss up between him and Morton for the one vote. Wonna was great in the forward half and really brings the tackling pressure we need. Great to have him back.

Sylvia was shocking in the first half, IMO. Kicked some teenage butt in the second half, but was really poor early.

Garland was not so good either. I would consider dropping him for Macdonald, who played well this week in the VFL. Obviously we'll have more info to go on in a couple of weeks time.

I'm really surprised at all the votes for Sylvia. He was awful when the heat was on. Not worst on ground, by any means. But certainly not in our top six. His second half is probably the reason he's getting votes, because it's fresh in your minds.

I thought he was good. I checked his stats cause you got me wondering if I was imagining his form (i admit to being a fan). Right up there in disposals, marks and even better, he led the tackles. I'll take note when i re-watch the game but i'm happy where i have him.

I felt like his disposal efficiency in the first half was woeful. I'm obviously one out and loved his second half. I just thought his first was poor, and for that reason, he shouldn't be getting all these 4 votes.

The thing with Sylvia is that he is icing on the cake, he isn't batter. So when we're good and he's good, he's bloody sensational.

He can rival Ablett with some of his work in close. It's just that he doesn't do it well enough for long enough on a consistent enough level. If he did, he'd be right up there on Brownlow night, because he certainly catches your eye when he's on.

6 - Moloney. Easily best on ground and did a bit or everything, and did it well.

5 - Trengove. I can't wait to see what he ends up. Brilliant, smart game. In everything. 3rd, 4th 5th efforts stunning.

4 - Bail. Kicking still needs work but his all-round game is weekly improving. Gut-busting run for 100 minutes.

3 - Jamar. Some ruckman can equal/negate him but none can beeat him. Classy ruck performance

2 - Sylvia. If he could only do it for a full game.

1 - Jones. In the last 2 weeks he has shown poise, his biggest lack. It might be Lions and Suns but at least he is improving.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
