My bench: Jurrah, McKenzie, Jetta

Sub: Dunn

Congrats to Flash for getting to 150 games, I'm really hoping he can turn it on. He's been average but I've been willing to forgive due to his long lay off through injury, but this is a game he has to stand up. I still remember back when he was a wide-eyed youngster, one game he played against the tigers (I think it might've been his second game) and he gathered the ball on the wing while surrounded by tigers, he stopped, they stopped, and then he flicked on the jets and burned them all off.

Hoping for a big one from Jurrah as well!

Good on you and I hope he turns it on too, but I still haven't gotten over Flash's one arm in the air StKilda game, fail to understand how he is still in the side, thought his efffort last week was ??? as was CS, can't understand the selection of this this weeks team, still smarting over the Russian's game against the Bulldogs where he was murdered by Hudson ( arguably our most important game and when the underperforming nature of our whole football was exposed)so politelely request the players completely smash Richmond this week or bring on the kids.

Out Luke Tapscott (soreness)

Tapscott has been pretty ordinary the last few weeks been non-influential so not that fussed he's rested given its his first full season at the top level.

Would like the final bench to be: McKenzie, Dunn, Jurrah, Nicholson

Green was lucky to slot back in from"injury"

Look forward to seeing Blease on the G.

Jurrah and Green in, Tappy and Nicholson out. Dunn the Sub.

I am going on Sunday for one reason.

To have a good look at Blease.

After his terrible start to AFL football with injuries

It will be interesting to see how he goes on the G

As there has been times when I saw him at Casey that I doubted he had what it takes.

Surprised to see Nicho out for Bennell... i guess they are similar in ways, and Nicho might be getting tired. Bennell hasn't really deserved it from his Casey reports though?

No issues with Jurrah for Dunn, and Green had to come back obviously...

So the pea hearts come back in, I sense because the club thinks they can win this game. Great. Todd Viney's tough stance didn't last long.

If Morton is the sub it will be an epic failure again.

Will Davey really play off half back? Can Rivers play tight on Vickery, he was close to been destroyed by him last time we played. Can Stef Martin play forward (and long term he needs to play forward) and make an impact?

[censored] hell, its painfully clear that monkeys on typewriters could do a better job selecting the team each week.

Why on earth is the team insisting with Jamie Bennell, he is the embodiment of Melbourne's failings over the past decade. Too small, can't kick, no footy brain and is as soft as butter. There is no harm in keeping Nicho in, heck he deserves his spot much more than Brad Green deserves his.

Is JB the embodiment of the soft Melbourne culture?

Or is he affected by the soft Melbourne culture?

I am loathe to get rid of talent before the new coach can attempt to pull a few fingers out.

That's not like you to write off 20 year olds after two games (and a busted leg)!

When was the last one?

By the way Goag when was the last time you thought someone was not good enough!

Seems like everyone of our players just need another 5 years

    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
