you missed a very obvious one in the Bad, Brad Green was just awful today and not far behind him was Jurrah.

Morton did a few nice things but for the most part spent his day either like a slow tram meandering up and down a line halfway between the centre square and the boundary line and a high orbiting satellite, stuck in geostationary orbit around any contest. When he's not first in line he just doesn't go.

I rate Morton as one of our best on the day, but he spoiled it by not going up for the contested mark a couple of times towards the end. At least on one of those occasions he knew he'd screwed up.

I also have Watts in both the good and ugly sections. Overall game good. Nailed a run down tackle for a holding the ball call - Really good. Made some really bad kicking errors where he put it down the throats of opponents - Ugly.

THE GOOD:

Sylvia and Watts both looked like they were giving it a red hot crack

Mckenzies first half on pendles

turn overs out of our defensive 50

wrong options

no running

UGLY:

the collingwood supporters yelling abuse over at the members.

our kick outs.

struggling to hit targets in our forward 50

our marking on the lead.

TACKLING, especially on that dalai lama loving harry obrien, just grab the f*&&^%% bloke!

Wonder if Eddie will get as upset about his own folk as he does about opposition members?

Good

- Howe

- Morton's first 3/4

- Sylvia

Bad

- Jones' decision making was really bad today. Still give him credit for having a dip, but at one stage he chose to handball backwards instead of forwards mid way through the first quarter and it set the tone for what was the come

Ugly

- Morton's last quarter

- Nick Maxwell - he and a few of his mates down back for Collingwood would get well and truly found out if they didn't play in a great system with a damn good midfield and forward line in front of them

The Good

Morton

Sylvia

Gawn - Still raw but promising

Howe

Watts in the 1st half

Martin

The Bad

Rivers on Cloke - Has no 1 on 1 skill.

Jones - Poor execution and no vision

Trengove

Moloney - four bounces and then a pathetic kick to boundary line.

Making our tackles stick

Two men up with no Pies player going up

Consistent inability to make tackles stick.

Jurrah not fit

The Ugly

Neon Leon carved us early

Collingwood were clinical and professional in their dissection of MFC.

Brad Green- There should be spill of leadership positions at year end and few if any incumbents should be considered for the leadership positions.

Jamar is still out for 2 weeks.

Kick Outs - Zts a positive if we get it to a throw in at centre wing.

Tom Scully - Just went today when I thought the open nature of the MCG would have suited him perfectly - I wonder why?

We were really bad today and it showed just how far off the pace we are. Everyone got carried away because we beat Essendon last week, as I said at the time I don't rate them so it wasn't really a guide to where we stand; today was and that was ugly.

The good was I got out of the car park relatively quickly.

Did they? I dont think so. But well done on the voice of reason.

FWIW, I think most posters realised the win against Essendon came with qualifications to it.

    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.
