Apologies to Bail and Nicholson, who work so very hard but had but too many missed targets.

To everyone feting Grimes but lambasting Bail and Nicho for their ball use, Grimes butchered the ball as much as Bail (24 disposals at 58 per cent efficiency) and less so than Nicho (22 disposals at 68 per cent efficiency)

I agree that they all used the ball quite badly. However, I can't say that they were bad. All of them gave us some much-needed competitiveness and won their one-on-ones. These guys are the ones who are desperate for a chance to prove they can play and to get on Neelds good side. They fight for every ball, and that is worth more to us right now than 80%+ efficiency.

No argument from me there Ralphius - I was happy with Bail and Nicho yesterday and reckon they'll come along just fine.

And I'm not unhappy with Grimes - just frustrated because it was also evident in the games he played before getting injured last year. Hopefully he'll find better touch as he gets more games under his belt.

Bail ,Nicholson ,Tapscott and even Dunn(yes Dunn) had reasonably good games.

Garland was down ,JT ,Bennell likewise .

Blease ,Bail and Nicho have speed which we lack.

Jamars game was an improvement on this years form .

Stoppages/Clearances were abysmal overall .

Grimes was a bit erratic but is improving.

6/- Rivers - Did a lot of good things in spite of being towered over

5/- Jones - Another really solid effort

4/- McDonald - Strong, fit and turned the ball over less

3/- Blease - Lots of effective bursts spoilt a little by poor licking for goal

2/- Watts - Always thinking, always looking for smart ways to get the ball and smart things to do with the ball

1/- McKenzie - Good job on Judd

Also thought that Grimes, though not brilliant, played a good, brave Captain's game

We're back on the 'improving' curve which is a relief. Thought we spread really well on occasion.

Agree with everything you've said (even about Dunn) except the line about Jamar. I thought he'd played quite well in some earlier games. But I didn't see anything in his game on Sunday which was in any way meritorious. Where did you think he'd improved?

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    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
