Quite a few for the highlight reel today and a good time to reflect on a favourite.

For me it was Jonesy's last goal for sure. Shrugging off a couple of would-be tacklers, dummy side step and fires it through from just inside the arc. Beautiful stuff.

Trenners taking the hit to set up a goal. Magic from a young player.

I'll second that. Awesome effort.

It was a good goal. The only downside is he'll think he can do it every week and that's the problem. He'll get tackled every other week. He needs to play to his strengths.

I agree that over-confidence has been his downfall in the past, but lately his determination to win contests and break tackles seems to be paying dividends.

Tapscott with the two step 55yd belter

Beautiful kick. I was sitting at the top of the ponsford right behind the goals and initially it looked like missing but the ball curved in flight.He sure can kick it. There was another kick where he transfered it across the ground and off two steps it must have gone 60 metres easy.

Not sure about favourite but Baters goal was sort of funny.He had such a shocker that i had to think he was better of trying not to use his hands.

The most ineffective player on the ground for Melbourne still having the desire to smash the opposition and LAY THREE CONSECUTIVE HARD CRUNCHING TACKLES.

That to me shows the team attitude is spot on, regardless of how good or bad you are playing.

THAT IS THE MINIMUM STANDARD WE EXPECT.

1. Green's goal and subsequent celebration. Not sure if anyone else saw this, but it made Big Jimmy get out of his seat for a prolonged period and give a passionate fist pump to those around him.

2. Jones' goal.

3. Tappy's goal. I'm in love with this guy.

4. Trengove's goal assist right at the end. Not many players capable of that.

5. Sylvia's 2 in 2 mins.

The first 5 minutes. Danners would have said "we came to play" but that would simplify it too much. We dominated the clearnaces from the get go, Petterd looked dangerous straight away and the ball wasn't coming out of our forward half easily.

Bate early in the 1st Qtr, backing back into the marking contest, got smashed, but set the tone for the team. Was down for a minute but got up and played well. Great example of committment.

There were too many!

I did like Trengove riding the bump and dishing off, while Tapscott's long goal was great.

However, Sylvia kicking his second goal of the quarter was probably my favourite moment.

Watts had some opportunities to create my favourite moment but couldn't get the job done - he's a 'nearly' man at the moment.

and played well.

I'm not sure about this bit.

Tapscott picking up spare ball from ball bag ready for kick in as Crows player lines up for goal 25m out on 45 degree angle. He missed the goal.

I liked that, yeah.

It possibly got overtaken due to it being early on, but Watts' pack mark and goal definitely meant alot.

Either that or Jamar's over the back tap to Moloney to Sylvia for a goal from the center bounce.

I was super impressed with that. If it's the same one I'm thinking of it happened in the last few plays of the game. He played pretty badly, but by gee it wasn't for a lack of trying, and may have been one of the more impactful 6 possession games I've seen from a non-defender. I saw him get involved a bit, and thought he's not doing a lot but is putting in. I was shocked to see he only had it 6 times.

My favourite? Hearing the MMM boys describe Sylvia's second in 30 seconds as "Harlem Globetrotter" stuff... Jamar smacks it to Moloney, Moloney chips to Sylvia, Sylvia goals... It's stuff like that that sends a chill down the spine of even the best sides. I remembered for the first time this year. This team can play.

A lot of the credit for that goal goes to Jack Watts, who put a perfect, prolonged shepherd on the goal line, it would certainly have been touched otherwise as it went through at hip height

    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.
