Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P. After watching Russian live last week I saw him Jog and stroll around and give us 0 leads and as has been discussed in Demonland 0 marks. I believe we could start Stef and my man crush Mitch forward with Russian in the ruck. Stef as more of a lead up forward with Mitch at full forward. Russian and Stef do the ruck work and that Leaves Mitch at Full Forward. If Russian would read the rule book which states ruckman have permission to kick the ball instead of turning his head and body all over the joint like the devil is in him he might be able to i don't know kick a couple through the big sticks and not handball it to anyone who then gets tackled.

The team needs mobile talls, like Darren Jolly at his best.

Was hoping given the chance to start over that you'd put more effort into your OP's DF!

.....or is this just an attempt to lure TGR over here?

Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P.

That would be a start though Stef was struggling as much as anyone when he went AWOL. The Russian's gonna re-birth his old nickname if he doens't get on his bike.

Garland forward (Rivers to a lesser extent) at least shows this coach will think outside the box.

I agree - but this could also be due to a lack of "run and spread" - or a bit of both?

He doesn't even do the old long kick down the line I think his feet are painted on.

I have totally forgotten MJ could kick this well. Thanks for the memories - MJ should definately watch this.

I loved Robbo!

Na, just some Mark Jamar from this game:

Great video. Although what sort of idiot makes a highlight video of a loss....

Nev Jetta was excellent in this game. It's a shame injuries have made it even harder for his type to make it, I really like him.

Look how open the forward line was back then, wish we could clear it out like that for Mitch The Ultimate Mobile Tall Clark.

Other than DJ D_F, who else did you have in mind ? Lucas Cook ?

Whether or not Neeld is a fan of Martin or not, I'm not sure. He was injured so he maybe trying to meet a level of "compliance" (nuffies like this sort of talk), before Neeld gives him the green light. Other options are Seller, Fitzpatrick and of course Gawn. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. The 'key' is development with our talls.

If you're looking elsewhere we already have suggestions in past threads such as Patton where you'd have to sell the house.

    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.
