Lame dig at Strauss who was good once again, also Morton is not improving. It's easy to look alright when he keeps getting the ball in open space because the opposition doesn't even bother to man up on him, but he always sheits himself in any contested situation.

Harsh on Bartram IMO, thought he was pretty good.

Morton had a poor game, made some crucial errors.

Thought Trengove was good.

As for Jurrah, would've had "needs a rest".

Pretty much agree with rest. Go Dees

No way. I know he has some good qualities, but his foot skills are not AFL standard. In fact, they are barely B-grade amateur standard. Shocking game.

Good analysis joeboy, only disagree somewhat on Morton, who I thought was frustrating for the most part (and I'm a Cale fan).

Strauss wasn't "good".

And I am yet to see this much vaunted elite kicking.It's early days but it doesn't do it for me.

Strauss has improved out of sight compared to where he was last year. I have yet to see him beaten this season. He may not always have a huge impact on the game offensively, but he's shutting down an attacking option and he's working well as a designated kicker from the back line. He also didn't put any out on the full today that i noticed.

My 2 cents:

Jordie McKenzie - Under that pack. :D

I thought Jurrah was pathetic today. His two goals at the end gloss over what has been a poor run of form for about 3-4 weeks. He's clearly injured. He's not contesting marks like he could last year. He is not leaping anywhere like he was last year. His defensive efforts amount to 2-3 chases per game. He is down on confidence and clearly needs a rest this week, get some rehab on the leg and get set for a huge friday night game against the Dogs @ the Dome. I could clearly see that he was frustrated and there were a couple moments that highlighted it for me. First there was the left foot snap from about 30 meters out that just went straight in the air when i'm sure there was a player free and 2. The dropped mark on the city end southern stand side and he could not follow it up with a handball.

Rest him. So my three words for Jurrah would be "Goals disguise form'

I agree and bring in Lucas Cook for a game, he could not have done worse than Jarrah today

Poor comment. I counted six times he run back with the flight of the ball.

LJ had the chances to kick a bag today but did little right. A spell with the Scorps seems in order.

Were you at the game? If you were you may have noticed how the majority of passes to LJ were too high, going over his head, dropping short or pitted him against two opponents. Sometimes several of these at once. The reason he didn't get more goals is because of the shocking delivery. You can't kick a pass two feet above his head and expect him to mark it when there's a taller defender in his back pocket. They just put the ball in his general direction and hope he can pull off a freak mark. Sooner or later we'll get some midfielders who understand that you kick a low pass to a leading target and he'll be kicking bags of 10. Watts had exactly the same problem today.

Green - leave him forward

Jones - tried, disposal ordinary

Bartram - see jones comment

Watts - unique gifted player

Bennell - coupla nice runs

Frawley - KICKED A GOAL!!

Trengove - solid, avoided attention

Morton - useless. useless. useless. (today anyways)

Sylvia - working really hard

McKenzie - VERY important cog

Petterd - in and out

Garland - need this bloke

Moloney - worked into it

Jurrah - needs to focus

Rivers - solid, team things

Macdonald - clint eastwood tough

Scully - invaluable running player

Martin - improved forward work

Gawn - a unique beast

Strauss - would've learned alot

Nicholson - some good moments

Howe - could save us

Bailey - made good changes

I have remained silent on Morton.

However yesterday his disposal and refusal to engage in the hard ball was obvious.

He gave up at least 2 goals.

jurrah couldn't get into it for 3 quarters. He was working hard off the ball for everyone else.

Bailey spent 2 mins @ 3/4 time pumping him up and clearly told the entire team to involve him in the play. - The best way to get confidence into a bloke.

Bailey then threw jurrah up the ground and it was clear from my position and reinforced hearing BT's commentary from in the corporates - Bailey instructed him 'go and get it'

Watch the last quarter and see the focus switch to players actively looking for him.

Wont be dropped

I didn't see DB pumping up Jurrah but I definitely thought we were deliberately trying to involve him in the game during that last quarter.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
