6 Rivers

5 Macdonald

4 McKenzie

3 Gysberts

2 Moloney

1 Trengove

Thought the win was set up by the defence returning to 2010 form (even without half their numbers). Rivers and Macdonald were kings in that area. In some ways I was disappointed with our midfield, but they kicked ass. Still a lot of work for the forwards to do I think, but if I had one more vote it would be for Howe, he gave us structure!

Kidding yourselves if McKenzie isn't the top vote getter people.

6- McKenzie

5- Rivers

4- Gysberts

3- Martin

2- Trengove

1- Scully

The game was won in the middle. Rivers also saved the day and was simply sensational.

Harsh on pretty much everyone else who missed out. Especially Beamer, MacDonald, Watts and Evans who worked exceptionally hard!

6 McKenzie (An absolutely brilliant game. Junior jnr may one day surpass Junior snr.)

5 Martin (If I hadn't seen it, I wouldn't believe it. Beat Hille, Ryder and Bellchambers. Jamar-esque.)

4 Rivers (Career-best form? Must be close ...)

3 Gysberts (Finding the ball's never been the problem, tonight he used it beautifully both in close and in space.)

2 Trengove (Pure silk. And he makes everyone else better.)

1 Watts (This vote is purely for his composure in the last quarter. When the Bombers where pressing, he had about four touches in two minutes, all of them calm and effective, and his attitude infected the whole team.)

Apologies to:

Bennell, great defensive game.

MacDonald, very rarely beaten.

Moloney, his usual steamroller self.

Jetta, mad-dog attitude, McKenzie-esque.

Green, finally a forward, and lo and behold, he plays a captain's game.

Jones, doesn't get the kudos he deserves.

Scully, pretty bloody good for a first game back!

Howe, presented well, had clean hands, and gave us a target across half-forward.

Everyone else can feel aggrieved to be left out as well. Great effort. Now please let them do it again next week! And the week after that, and the week after that, and for the three months after that ...

Apologies to the rest of the team.

Points for Bailey and the coaching staff for ditching experienced players that are not up to it and going for youth.

Something the previous coach never did...

Best team effort in years makes voting extremely tough this week (unlike recent weeks when it has been tough to find a decent 6). Keep it up Dees!

6. Rivers

5. McKenzie

4. Martin

3. Gysberts

2. Trengove

1. Green

6. Rivers – better than ever?

5. McKenzie - outstanding

4. Martin - ditto

3. Moloney – great leadership at the end

2. Trenners – so many skills

1. Howe – for his workrate and dedication in the bright lights

Absurd that I left Gys out, but it was hard to choose.

Maybe Demonland can erase the votes from last week and extend the votes this week?

    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
