Demonland Player of the Year

Some of the following are lucky to get votes from me because they all made multiple disposal errors. Sadly however, many of their team-mates were even worse with ball in hand. It's just sole destroying for team morale and supporters alike.

6. Howe

5. Frawley

4. Petterd

3. MacDonald

2. Garland

1. Trengove

6- Howe (sensational)

5- Jones (killed himself time and time again. Shite user of the ball)

4- Frawley (kept Kennedy quiet and got involved. Needed to uppercut himself for some of his disposal decisions)

3- McDonald (great defensive game, but needs to stop trying to be superman)

2- Petterd (OK)

1- Garland (OK)

Anyone that gives Jones votes is kidding themselves. Cost us at least 4 goals to West Coast with turn overs and 2 goals to us by missing easy targets. Yes people will say he gives his all but if we continue to accept medocrity in disposal like him and Bartram then we will get nowhere.

I see your point, but lets be honest, he was on many occasions the only guy going in head first, without a single mate to help him. His disposals were rushed under enormous pressure and yes, they were average, but at least he was out there busting his balls, which is the only thing I actually want to see right now given the season is shot to [censored].

I'm not a big Jones fan and I think (hope) many others will pass him, but it was damn near embarrassing seeing him throw himself head first at contests while guys like Davey stood on the outside waiting for the easy handpass. Totally unacceptable, and he must feel cheated by his mates.

Davey and Sylvia aside the application today was good. We were beaten by a more mature, better drilled and better skilled outfit. I am sick of applauding players that bust their balls but make amateur skill and decision errors. Bartram and Jones are poor and whilst they are in our starting 18 we will be going nowhere.

We've replaced Ward and Godfrey with Jones and Bartram and you're right as long as they are in our starting 22 then we are going nowhere.

Jones has got plenty of heart but so did Godfrey and he was eventually delisted as he just wasn't up to it, unfortunately it was about 100 games too late. We hang on to players at Melbourne if they show a bit of grit and toughness as we're not used to seeing it it.

We generally like em soft and skinny something we can work on.

To be fair, Jones and Bartram (in my view) are each better than Ward and Godfrey respectively. Having said that, neither is particularly good. Great endeavour, poor skill execution.

    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
