You wouldn't pick Davey for a game of tiddlywinks after today's effort

Be fair, he's probably very good at non-contact games.

FFS, PLAY T. MCDONALD!

He had a great pre- season and got sh*t all game time in the NAB Cup. Why?

Has spent about 2 minutes learning to be a forward, and kicked 3 today. He is strong and tough, and he needs the experience.

I was a little confused why he didn't see much time in the NAB Cup. Showed promise last year, apparently was a standout over the summer, and played ok up in the monsoonal round robin joke. Good week to put his hand up as there are a bunch who should come out.

Does anyone know what position Morton played? Was it a "physical game"?

Did McDonald actually play at FF? Could he fill the absolute vacancy, the desperate long term deficit, we have at CHF currently?

How did Tapscott play? Not mentioned in the better players but was he close?

Was Sellar playing on a 'monster' in defence?

Dunn with 3 goals not mentioned in the better players? Were these hard fought goals or gimmies?

Bartram suspended? For that 'sling tackle'. If he is that's almost as bad as JT's suspension last year.

Forget Morton please Good Times- not again ,not until he has suffered .

Tappy yes please .

Couch-why not

Bennell -pace ,skill and accountability would be good .

If Morton played well yesterday he deserves to play against WCE.

Apparently the penny dropped for him some time during the pre-season and was showing signs of his old self. He has holes in his game but he also has enough weapons to benefit the side next week.

Hopefully a few other things dropped as well :huh:

Poor Good Times....on the end of a stray Biffo Biff! Too funny :lol:

It actually kills me that we passed on Fyfe twice, at pick 11 for Gysberts and pick 18 for Tapscott. Fyfe was highly rated pre-draft, everyone knew about him.

Fyfe is an absolute star of the competition, and our 2 guys are injury-prone, unfit and can't make it in the best for the VFL.

And everyone let him get through to the pick he got to. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Disagree on picking him before Gysberts but agree with Tapscott on the basis they both played as half forwards during the champs so you can argue like for like and they are so close in the pick they were chosen..

The guy's head did NOT hit the ground, and he was NOT injured.

If that is now an illegal tackle the game has deteriorated to basketball netball level

After yesterdays results for both Melbourne & Casey I'd be looking at:

Bennell for Davey

Couch for Moloney

Dunn for Green

Petterd (if fit) for Blease &

Sellar for Mac Donald

Gysberts, T. McDonald & Tapscott emergencies.

Need to bring some physicality into the team which Couch, Dunn & Sellar all do, Sellar also helps with WC's tall forwards, and Bennell & Petterd to hopefully give us some forward pressure.

Moloney you may bring back in after 1 week in he dominates. Davey & Green would have to dominate for weeks on end to earn a recall. Morton & T. McDonald clearly wont be far away if they can continue their good form & I have no doubt both Gysberts & Tapscott will be better for their runs.

    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
