Time to bring back Stef.

Jamar needs a rest.

His second and third efforts alone are worth a recall .

Are you suggesting that perhaps Jamar will reveal a "nagging injury, manifest as general soreness" for the next round?

The selection would be back to the Bailey days.

No accountability, no structure, no discipline, no footy smarts.

Stef has plenty of footy smarts actually. He was instructed to take the game on at all times due to his size and mobility being hard to match up on. So it might have looked like his accountability was low but this was his role.

Saw him last night and he is as excited as a kid in a candy store to be playing again shortly and his body is back to its best. He will be back and about later in the second half of the year.

Fair enough, I'm glad he's better, but he'll need 3-4 weeks (@ Casey) to play an accountable, negating role and realise his role in the team.

He's not a ball carrier, or a designated kicker, or given license to fly for anything.

He needs more discipline.

With Jamar locked in and Gawn/Fitz looking the goods (early stages I know but I have faith) and Clark/Sellar good pinch hitters I wonder if big Stef might be worth something to a club that needs a ruckman, a club say with an ageing big man and a couple of young blokes night quite ready, a club that has a few young but hardened mids we might like...

Collingwood anyone?

You have a lot of faith. Gawn has just had his second major reconstruction and Fitz has shown nothing in my eyes.

If we trade Stef, then we will need to pick up another ruckman in the draft.

Yeah your right, it just seems strange that we have Jamar Martin Gawn Fitz and Spencer. Is that an average amount of ruckman for a club? Seems alot to me

Most clubs have around 5 ruckmen on their lists. Though often 2 or 3 are relatively unknown because they live in the VFL, like most opposition supporters would know little of Spencer, Fitzy and Gawn. Those last three are all still speculative IMO and I don't like Clark or Sellar in the ruck (for different reasons).

Martin had his best season last year, and has been injured this year. I'm interested to see if he can fit in with team balance and Neeld's game style. I think we're lacking a back up to Jamar who can at least compete in the ruck and be useful around the ground and Martin's more likely than anyone in the middle term.

    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
