Morton "played" tonight.

Correct and to name two forwards out when they hardly saw the ball? Bennell was ok through limited opportunity.

Thought Trenners and Jones did well, the rest can fight over the outs.

If it was based solely on tonight's game, you would drop 18 players. So realistically:

IN: Petterd, Maric

OUT: Morton, Woneamirri

Morton is a soft player. I have never been so frustrated by a player. Wona is a touch stiff, but he played in the midfield for alot of tonights game and got smashed. I can't think of anyone else I would drop though, even accounting for how bad they were.

Based on tonight and the previous few games I could see a reason to drop almost every player.

It is hard to blame the forwards, as the ball never gets there, and when it does, the delivery is usually average.

It is also hard to blame the backline, as the are under the pump for the majority of the game (even when we are winning) due to our tactic of letting other teams carry the ball into their own forward half before we decide to put pressure on them.

That being said, without even watching the Casey game I would bring in Petterd, Maric, Blease (if they think he can run out a game).

I would drop any of Green, Davey (but I know they are both safe, despite the fact they have iven little to nothing this year) Bennell and Dunn.

My god we need Scully and McKenzie back. We need speed and tackling pressure and we need to bloody atack the ball and opponents and start to gut run. It is so frustrating.

Brad Green was the most disappointing last night. Can't drop him though. And we delisted our performing captain.

Without a doubt, Bennell has to go.

So many players were rubbish, could drop them all . . . .

OUT: Bennell, Morton

IN: Two guys who give a [censored].

Unfortunately I doubt the FD has the balls for it but after 5 games this year it is time for

A large number to be sent to Casey if for no other reason than to show we need more effort.

Out: Wona,Bennel, frawley, Morton and Green ( that will not happen )Tapscott will be suspended.

In: Warnock, Mcdonald, Strauss, Maric, Petterd and Bate.

I am very serious about Green I have only seen 1 game from him this year where I thought he earned his spot.

It is time for a big statement how much bigger would that be?

But alas I don't expect much from our Coach.

Playing half a season we would have got more out of Mcdonald that we have so far out of Green.

Tapscott will not even be cited. He didn't hit him in the head. He didn't raise an arm. It was just probably a little far from the bloke with the ball but he could mount an argument like Barry Hall that it was in the motion of making a play or run...

Out- Dunn, Bennell, Morton (as much as it annoys me)

In- Petterd, Maric (as long as he plays ok at Casey), Blease or Strauss (if they put in another good Casey performance)

Bennell, Davey AND Wona should all be dropped. Soft passengers. Morton and Grimes have stalled and deserve a run in the two's.

MAcdonald, Petterd, Bate all deserve games and we may as well see what guys like Cook, Blease and that have.

Not sure Tapscott will get week though, wasn't high contact and he was fine after it.

    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.

    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
