Joeboy - Unnecessary tiger abuse

Joeboy - Necessary Tiger abuse

Constantly appealing for holding the ball whenever they laid a tackle. Idiots.

Anyway, Petterd laid 14 tackles? Faaaaar out.

I wont abuse you about it, it's an opinion mate.

I did not notice all 14 to be honest, I thought about 10.

I thought he was quiet today, but 13 inside 50 tackles is a seriously good effort, considering that would beat the team total for inside 50 tackles in our bad weeks.

I thought Petterd was ordinary, bit selfish at times where he could have dragged his man away from the contest so the other Melbourne Player could have had a one on one. But his defensive work was great.

Green not sure where he is at, struggled a little today without taking a big mark late in the 3rd and early in the last.

Brad Green - Selfish Goal Hungry

Occasionally yes, but getting to the right possessions and then having a shot is often good play not bad.

It's not as easy as saying, well Brad you spent your whole career trying to kick goals, now you must look unselfish at all times. The captaincy has weighed on him, but thankfully he has improved this year from where he was at. Still has a way to go - I abuse him generally once a game now for been selfish/dumb.

Can't blame him for kicking the one early in the 4th.

Agreed re everything bar Petterd and Strauss. Thought Petterd was very lively all day, maybe not 100% effective but his talent we all know of his intensity has been questioned and he showed he cared today.

Strauss had 10 touches and from memory didn't get over the ball once nor fumble.. He was far from best but he was matched up on a far bigger body and beat him too so think tiny bit harsh there.

Brad Green - Selfish Goal Hungry

There certainly were about 3 occasions where he could have given it off instead of blazing away. The one where Petterd was moving towards goal at the Punt Road end away from Green and his 2 opponents was a gimme, but Green ignored him. The Captain is playing better but was selfish on a few occasions.

Green turned down a couple of shots he should have taken! The one in the last quarter where he gave it off to Jones was a certain goal if he'd had a shot. It's never a certainty if you give the ball off to Jones.

Petterd's call is all out of whack. I thought he was in a LOT of the game, just fluffed disposal too often. Looks like he's enduring a bit, but doing all of the hard stuff you can do when you're out of touch.

    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
