Recommended Posts

This week im looking for a consistant performace, in all honesty I dont see us winning but I want us to make a good fist of it.

Only in for me is Martin

Seller can get out and stay out

ps I think we are still on the right track, saw Mark Neeld in the flesh last night at AAMI park and he is the scariest looking man ive ever seen, if he yelled at me I think id pee my pants

The FD must see something we don't see Jonesbag

He is the second worst on our list in my view.

Why does he constantly get games

This is the only week that it will be difficult to make a change, it isn't hard to find players to drop, the hard part is finding players to bring in. We will have 2 forced changes

Out Green and Frawley

In Sylvia and Davis

I would love to add Moloney, Garland, Sellar, Bennell to the list of outs but we don't have the replacements. Sylvia is lucky but I still believe we need to add him to our midfield, to have any chance of winning this week Sylvia needs to play midfield and dominate. We line up

Bennell McDonald Rivers

Nicho Garland Grimes

Bail Sylvia Blease

Howe Watts Tapscott

Dunn Clark Sellar

Moloney Jones Mckenzie

Magner Moloney Trengove Davis

Gives us a physical presence up forward, CAN roost from outside 50 although did not do so this week, and CAN and did win contests at ground level.

I was asking not what he can do, but what he did, and what he did was attempt ridiculous bananas from the pocket that hurt the team, ignored players in better positions, got into a slanging match with Mitch Robinson, tried stunning kcicks off the ground and in mid air instead of picking up the footy and not much else.

I find that he has done a great deal of this for most of his career, and despite what he can do, what he does do will determine whether he plays this week and stays in the AFL at the end of the year.

I assume we are talking about seller? He looks like he gives in a crack but his time is up.

Time for martin to get in and give him a fair crack

Maybe it's because he follows instructions OD, perhaps some of the others don't know how to.

He takes a bit of the pressure off Mitch Clark because they need to put a tall defender on him and I'd rather have Sellar change in the ruck than Clark.

RobbieF If his instruction is to get very low stats eg 2 kicks, 5 handballs and 3 marks for no scores against Carlton.

Then I have serious problems with the instructions

He has next to no impact in games, he is very similar to Bennell.

Adelaide cut him and we are seeing the reasons why IMO.

IMO DemonWA they are both loved by the FD for reasons that are far from apparent to me.

Not sure why players who average half a dozen posessions a game and have no impact on the result keep getting picked every week.

Can you please explain ?

No i cant, but i'd expect that they both 'train the house down' and follow instructions/play a specific role for the coaches. Not saying that it means they are valuable contributors or that i think they deserve to be picked so regularly, but the coaches must have a reason for playing them?

Here's one:

http://finalsiren.com/PlayerStats.asp?PlayerID=1896

Jamie's performances had been steadily declining over the years but this year has been much poorer.

Of course he was subbed-off after 3, subbed-on after 3 and subbed-on after 1.

His averages are far from impressive irrespective of what his instructions might be.

I know I go on about him DemonWA

This year I have watch him closely at the games I have been to and I have no idea what the FD is telling him to do.

I have wondered some days if he knows either, just seems lost.

He is of course an outside player and at present that means there is no one to give him the ball.

He might well be a genius at Essendon.

When did Martin last play at any level? Is he recovered and ready?

Fair point, although I would put him in as at least the sub, I no it might seem im hating on seller but I havent seen him impact a game all year. Too many chances and time to go. Maybe if martin doesnt get up then we can bring back sylvia? Either way it looks to be slim pickings

    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
