Simon Godfrey was a good tagger as well. If Bartram is as good as Clint Jones then sure keep him, but I doubt he is. Bail and McKenzie should be our two defensive orientated midfielders, Bartram is just depth.

Possibly...Let's wait till we get to september to feel the real pressure...You could be right, i just think Barty is under rated for what he does...

IF he wasn't there, we WOULD miss him.

Bartram is better than Godfrey.

Nev's not exactly slow is he?

Love this guy - reminds me a lot of Whelan at his best.

I reckon his kicking has definitely improved in the last year or so as well...

With a pre-season under his belt, he'll be just what we need, he chases his guts out. Like Davey used to. :mellow:

He is slow, but he's also a good footballer.

He was playing well before he hurt his hand, and he had a game busting 5 minutes yesterday.

Has a determination about him that will see him continue to improve. As mentioned, how much he can improve will determine how long he's around.

A big preseason will help.

he will have a bit of an interupted start to the pre season, from what i hear he will be going under the knife after next week, and having his shoulder worked out, which has been troubling him this year.

hopefully he can have a big pre season, as i think he is definitely an important depth player to the team.

I also thought he was slow but on the club website his bio reads as follows:

The lively speedster struggled in his second season, battling to overcome a groin injury at the start of 2010 and found himself in the VFL later in the year. Missed the first eight games, played the next six but was confined to VFL duties after that. Has great pace and excellent skills through the middle of the ground

I think that it possibly indicates that he just doesn't have a big enough tank at the moment to maintain a high speed for much game time at all. Hopefully after a big preseason we will be able to see his said speed showcased.

Next week, hopeless, too soon. We should be doing the right thing by ALL Involved for the finals.

The Sooner they make the VFL start Earlier & Finish @ least 2 weeks before the AFL Grand final the better!

Theres our pre season comp right there, just needs tweeking!

Just a point on Nev's lack of speed, they guy he was running ahead of to gather the ball for his goal was Harbrow, who as we all know is really slow then he palmed him off and ran away from him.

Just one more point on coaching, Nev and Tapscott spent the game on Harbrow and pantsed him, he had no influence whatsoever, it is not the amount of touches you have if you are playing your role

    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

    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.
