4. Martin (20)

5. Sylvia (19)

Frawley (20)

Pretty harsh on Garland. Held our defence together early while Frawley found his feet, and has had a great end to the season. I would be surprised if he wasn't top 5 in a year it's hard to find 5 consistent players.

I agree and I think he's been great. But he's missed 5 or 6 weeks through injury this year, and that'll hurt his final position IMO.

Jones, Moloney, Sylvia.... they are the three standouts this year in what was a bloody disappointing season.

I'm going to the B&F with my old man - hope it's a great night as I've never been to one before.

Posted this in the captaincy thread but i think it's relevant here too.

Why Beamer is going to win this years B&F...

This year Beamer ranks at the club:

1st in Contested Possesions (71 more than Sylvia ranked 2nd, 98 than Jones ranked 3rd)

1st in Clearances (+83 on McKenzie ranked 2nd with a total of 61)

1st in Tackles (+14 on Sylvia ranked 2nd)

2nd in Inside 50's (-2 behind Sylvia)

2nd in Disposals (-10 behind Jones)

1st in Kicks

2nd in Handballs

Equal 4th in Running Bounces

5th for 1%ers

Equal 5th for Clangers (11 less than Sylvia ranked 1st. Trengove, Jones, Martin and Green have all turned it over more this year)

The contested possession and clearance stats are the most staggering. 83 more clearances (more than double) the next best player McKenzie! He has 102 more clearances than Jones, who many regard as one of our inside hardball winners.

Beamer. Nobody else will get close.

LUDICROUS!!! Jones has been our Mr Consistency all year!! AND... has played EVERY round!!

I think you'll find Jones gives Beamer a good challenge and could quite possibly win the Bluey!

Yeah, he has beaten up on enough crap sides to take it out.

What an impressive night it will be...

So many worthy winners from consistently good players who have...I can't continue...

Yes, it's one of those years where somebody will just win by default. I'd love it to be someone like Garland or Watts, but I don't think it will be. If it's Jones then that would really show where the club is currently at.

...yes of course the B & F should be the prettiest, most skilful, who has kicked bags of goals....Jones has played his guts out in every game this year, sometimes he has been the only one who never waved the white flag.....if he gets it, it will be because he deserves it.....he has been absolutely devastated by what has transpired this season...you only have to read his tweets and speak to him.......but I know when I watch the game he will be wearing his heart right on the front of the red and blue shirt and will run himself into the ground for the club

For once yesterday I sat amongst the so called supporters on the bottom level of the G down the Punt Rd end and was absolutely disgusted by the constant bagging of individual players.....I actually told one bloke he may as well go home if he wasn't enjoying it....

I am as disappointed as the next man in the performance of the team this year, but it is not down to individuals, the game is a team effort and it needs 22 playing at their maximum, and all the coaching panel getting there coaching right.

by two bob's worth

Either Moloney or Jones

    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
