It's obviously very very early in the season but A.Maric has started the season fairly well for the Toiges by all accounts.

Interested to hear people's opinions on how they think he will go.

Was it the correct decision to let him go or was it the right time for both parties to part?

Thoughts?

Maric looked to me last night the same as he did for MFC - almost good enough. Richmond have a lot of garbage players playing senior footy. There seems to be a huge gulf between their best and worst

i remember last years nab cup maric was flying for us and everyone was saying he is in 4 a massive year, so lets just wait for the real stuff to start and see if he goes missing like he did 4 us

I rate Jetta. Once he get's out of his injuries and start to really develop I think he'll be able to be far more valuable.

He will be a star over there. Will absolutely kill it. As do a few of our rejects.

On a serious note, I think we couldve held onto him a bit longer under the new coaching structure. But thats just me.

Please note that he also had a good pre-season last year and there wasn't much else after that. There was definitely something with this bloke though, he is very good by foot. I was disapointed he left/wanted out but really he hadn't nailed a spot and I don't think he has the makings of a finals type player. No great loss.

I actually think he will make a decent midfielder. He didn't seem to read the play right when up forward, but when pushed up the ground I thought his awareness and recovery skills were pretty good. He'll go alright for the Tigers.

he was defintely an icing on top player, or what I would call a finisher.

Stupidly most questioned his work ethic although he turned up in great condition to pre-season and gave his all.

I think he was slightly hard done by becuase he would play ok then get dropped, the opposite of some. also against him though, he didn't get his own ball and was finding it too hard in a bottom 8 side.

I reckon with confidence he could be a great finisher but feel we won't lose out on this one.

Baby sized tank will stop that. By all reports his lack of endurance was a blocker when considering him in the middle.

Don't think this one will sting us at all in the long run. Maric at best will be another Stevie Armstrong - might get lucky and end up at the right place at the right time, but realistically I think he'll be just another player who doesn't quite make it.

Ho hum. You hear people yak on about Miller the same way.

They were tough choices, but had to be made. Miller wasn't getting any better, and wasn't helping anyone else get better. Maric was ok, and will have a few games in which he makes an impression... but will be a liability for many more games...

That about sums it up. Good pickup for them, even if only for the kicking skill reason.

Good summary Nasher.

From what I have seen Maric and Jetta are line ball AFL at best.

i honestly think that he would've been a good small forward.

I hope keeping Jetta over Maric pays dividends

Last week's game highlighted a definate need for one.I liked Adam, but he was very inconsistent.Hope young Lawrence can come on, or we will be very much looking for one next draft.

Alot of people here seem to rate Lawrence, yet i am to hear of him ever having a good game with more then 2 goals at either the AFL level or in the VFL. He is a small forward so the classic Demonland excuse of 'he needs to develop' isn't sufficient for him either. Did he even get any NAB game time? Is there something I am not seeing with Lawrence that everyone else is?

At the moment i think only blease or davey could fill the gap though there isnt much depth there.

I think Blease in the forward pocket is a waste of his abilities. I would rather see someone like N. Jetta or even Couch in a FP.

Jetta would be my choice if he wasn't injured all the time.

Couch not too sure about as I don't think he is yet to score any goals for the dees yet. Never know though, he could apply some good defensive pressure in the forward line. I am still yet to be convinced by this fella.

I'm not saying Couch would be a sensational FP, I just think he is a viable option for the position. I just think that with the players we have, having Blease on either a HBF or HFF would be most valuable.

Also for the record Blease hasn't scored any goals yet either :)

Can't think of too many of the top mf my head. Especially not recently.

Trav J - No

Maclean - No

Bruce - No

Cheeney - No

Blease got a few goals in the intra-club practice match.

I think we have quite a few players to play in HFF and HBF already and I am not quite sure if Blease has the tank for it yet.

I agree in the future he'll be a gun, though he may need to take the same route that Davey took by starting in the Forward pocket and working his way to one of the flanks or the midfield as he develops.

I remember one game a few years back Bennell got 4 goals playing as a small forward, I would like to see him play up there. I think he would give the defender his on a run for there money.

    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.
