In the past he has been a reliable solid player but not a game changer, i think that will change this year, and it will catch some teams off guard.

I remember reading before he was drafted that he lead his side in the TAC cup as the most dominant player on the field.

Itching to see some of that in the AFL because he definitely has the confidence and will be much more used to the tempo and speed by now.

Does anyone else find this picture a little disturbing?

If he is injured they have to get him off the park, it isn't doing his confidence any good at all. Grimes can lead alone for a while, I think he is doing well so far.

I love Trengove as a player, which is why I'm disappointed by his output. He's averaging less disposals, marks and goals than when he was an 18 year old in his first year. But more importantly, he's

the Hawks midfield has some solid performers and I guess trenners game will be affected by the support of our core?

I agree, though i think Neeld has some good midfield smarts about him (based on his past) and may have some good contingencies up his sleeve.

Good variety of players at his disposal also.

probably need to refer to the squad as in the other thread, but hoping Trenners can lead the team to victory

Is JT carrying an injury? Osteitis pubis, perhaps? There's no run, no lift when he tries to jump off the ground and no power in his kicking. Looks a lot like Luke Ball when he had OP - all guts, but unable to deliver the quality we are used to.

He does look slow out there, has no burst at all. Was never a speed merchant but I don't recall him being a slug either.

There's no lift when he jumps because our coach put the weight of expectation on his shoulders by making him a co-captain.

This is where the "Like This" button is unhelpful. I need an "I agree, but I don't have to Like It" button because your point is well made. To say I "Like This" may give the wrong impression.

How does giving someone the captaincy decrease their leg speed? Interesting logic but I'm sure one of you will find a way to explain it ...

When you are under pressure to perform RR, and if you are putting extra pressure on yourself, which I have no doubt Jack will be doing, you lose confidence if things aren't going how you want them. It can get to a stage where you have convinced yourself that you are operating at 100%, but might only be operating around 80-90%.

Let's not forget, the kid is in his third AFL season, he was crucified by the umpires last year and that had some impact on his game. He is now seen as a leader at the club, when let's face it, while he has got leadership qualities he out of anyone has to work the hardest to lead successfully so early in to his career. As he is considered one of our better players, he is no doubt being tagged (I don't see what happens off the ball - someone could keep an eye on that and let me know how much other teams are working him over).

Personally, I'd like to see Jack starting in the centre square more often, and basically be given a licence to do what is natural for him. I have no doubt he can be a game breaker, but at the moment, he is looking far from a number 2 draft pick. But, Neeld is so determined on teaching this team the basics of defending, which he claimed they have never been taught, I can't see any of our players being given the opportunity to play with the creativity that has happened in the past. I hope he knows what he is doing.

I'd hate to think what's going on in his head at the moment. What a time to have the burden of being Captain thrust on your shoulders. He knows that as Captain it is up to him to provide the leadership that is so desperately missing especially as the team is performing so badly at the moment. But like everyone else he is still learning how to be a player and the new gameplan etc. The pressure he must be feeling must be massive. I still think it was too early to give him this burden. A lot of experienced players have had bad seasons when first appointed as Captain and that can be in teams performing well. This one is in a deplorable state at the moment and there is a distinct lack of onfield leadership from anyone to lift the team when it starts to fall behind. Not that that alone would be enough at the moment but it would help. I thought Beamer's return gave us a lift in the middle when it mattered. But too little too late.

I started a thread last year talking about his lack of pace, tonight he was run down by Goddard. He needs to work on his first five steps urgently otherwise he will go backwards. Yes, not all great players are quick but it is seriously hampering his ability to impact games.

Groin by the looks of it, or maybe OP.

He has no power.

Maybe adductor surgery booked for the offseason?

Looks like he has OP. He cannot push off and accelerate and he has no penetration in his kicking. Some of his set shots this year have been embarrassing. He's my favorite player, but he is definitely playing injured. If he weren't captain and we weren't on the ass end of the ladder, he'd be resting or running round in the VFL.

I made this comment after attending the swans match lat week. He has definitely lost a few yards from last year. Is it because he has bulked up? I don't know, but if he is injured I don't understand why we are risking playing him! Still, he had a far better match today than the past few weeks.

    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.
