How in god's name is Watts getting votes?

The kid played good and showed some strong marks but not in the top 6 players.

Some of you should be kicked in the guts for not including Barts. Kid was hard and actually gave us run and heart all night.

6 - Garland

5 - Trengove

4 - Jamar

3 - Bartram

2 - Jones

1 - Bail

Awarded for effort only. Sadly, we widn't have a single winner on the night.

6. Garland - Battled manfully. The best of our overwhelmed defenders, but several costly clangers.

5. Jamar - Worked hard but was one-out against two or three all night.

4. Watts - Good work rate including a couple of strong marks. Encouraging, but looked 'lost' on occasions.

3. Jones - Worked hard, but the usual flaws were evident

2. Trengove - Worked hard against the odds of a dominant WC midfield

1. Bail - Earned his place, particularly in the first half.

6 - Garland

5 - Jones

4 - Jamar (and he was well beaten by his man, which shows how little this weeks votes equate to actually playing well!)

3 - Trengove

2 - Bail

1 - Watts

Same players; same comment about Jamar (gee, he busted a gut out there, even though he was well beaten and ditto for Bail); slightly different order:

6 - Garland

5 - Trengove

4 - Jamar

3 - Jones

2 - Bail

1 - Watts

I'm actually tempted to rate Jamar first and Bail second because they did not give up trying, even though their opponents were probably best and second best on the ground.

Votes this week based on effort

6. Watts

5. Jones

4. Jamar

3. Garland

2. Bartram

1. Rivers

I'm sending out a search party to see if they can find Davey, Jurrah, Wona & Bennell. They all seem to go missing at the same time so I'm sure they're together.

Well said.

It's official. The bloke had his turn to go, and didn't go.

He can be dropped from now into infinitely. Bald, tattooed, and soft.

When was that? when he got crunched from glass?

Im sorry but if that was watts or bennell they would have run in the opposite direction. Jones took his hit and was our best player on the night. Very starnge you see this the other way.

Votes mainly based on the work rate of the players

6 - Bartram

5 - Watts

4 - Jamar

3 - Jones

2 - Trengove

1 - Tapscott

It must be hard being in this group and seeing Aaron Davey out their. Pathetic effort by him. If you are too lazy to run, give someone else a game.

Brad Green has lost it as Captain, Moloney should be captain irrespective of his ONE night of drinking on the town. Did David Neitz lose his captaincy when he punched the bouncer at Crown several years back.. (I honestly do not know, but I only think he apologised, and that was that)

How in god's name is Watts getting votes?

Maybe because he was the ONLY ONE wearing red and blue (well, white) that actually gave 100% in the first quarter. I'm not exaggerating. He was the only one out there who looked like he g.a.f. early.

Faded a bit and on a better night for the team, that perfomance wouldn't get votes. But he definitely deserves some credit.

For those that put Grimes in - didn't he play on Darling?

I was thinking the same thing... Racked up 27 touches with his usual dose of clangers and his 18yo opponent kicked three. Would've thought he was way off votes.

He's the bottom 6 we've all been looking for

How can you not have Davey in there? At leaset Rivers tried to look interested. Davey clearly did not want to be out there last night.

Really surprised with a lack of votes for Bartram.

He worked really hard, which is more than about 16 other players can say for themselves.

Yep, Clint and Judy Garland gave it a crack no worries with them, Mark Jamar worked his ring off, but none of our midfielders could be bothered getting near his taps.

    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
