Sloppy footy but at least we're leading. Our disposal still worries me as does these players input.

Davey 6 - Looks lost, some shocker handballs

Magner 7 - Reminds me of an old Jones, butchers it, looks tired.

Trengove 8 - Need more from him, slow.

Moloney 9 - No influence, need more from our no.1 mid.

Not good enough.

Very pleased with Tom McDonald today.

Geez, we've got some, a lot, of improving to do in all areas, but our kicking skills and decision making really need a lot of work, real happy to be beating this orange band of krisnas

Am i alone in thinking Daveys done ok. A few times he just needed to go himself rather than a silly handball ( that are invariably to slick for receiver) otherwise his vision and setups have been very good

No, you're not alone in that thought at all... he has done a few good things today. What we see on this forum is generally a Pavlovian form of conditioned response to anything players like Davey, Morton, MacDonald, etc do.

Don't know how you can say this about Davey. He's been very quiet. He can still hit up a pass which is good but just can't get into the pace of the game. You can't see that?

I hope we play Sellar on Merrett next week, and even let him spend some time on Brown. He keeps solidifying his place down back and i can imagine taking a big scalp will make him get even better (confidence player).

I have actually seen him give off the ball a few times to good effect (a couple of times not so)... maybe we are both missing something?

Tom McDonald's kicking is a liability. Guy competes his butt off, but he butchers simple kicks far too frequently

Yeah, at this stage. But he's only 19 or so, and this will get better. Loving his push 'n shove attitude aggresive with Patton.

    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

    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’
