Anyone else happy with Blease today? I really am, he is not polished but his speed and endeavor is something really valuable. I can see him being a good player for us going forward. Sign him up!

Playing well, wouldn't mind if Leigh Matthews lost his voice however.

The rot started when neeld put watts on brown.

Put watts and Howe up forward with garland and rivers down back.

Nicholson and blease on the ball.

This post is silly.

Magner is a first year footballer at AFL level. Nicholson is a rookie. Spencer is a kid.

Just calling it as i see it

Obviously not watching the game. Don't worry mate, I'll PM you and summarise what you have missed

Really? Magner is our worst today is he? Maybe you should take note of his pressure, tackling, shepherding... There's more to footy than goals mate.

Pretty sure Spencer, Moloney, Bate, Nicholson, Watts, Trengove, and many more have contributed LESS to the team so far today than Magner.

I think Neeld & Craig need the break to get their heads in order. We're being forced to make reactive moves, and it's just pulling the team more & more out of shape.

Agree with the post that said it's now time to ditch the experiments and put everybody back where they're best - at least one of Rivers or Garland to defence, one of Watts or Dunn forward, maybe try Howe key forward. Work out where we want our players to be, not react to where they are making us place them.

Bate

Spencer

Sellar

Bail

MacDonald

Magner

Nicholson

Martin

Yeah, enough with the experimental rubbish.

Brisbane are miles ahead of GWS and they are not going to let us do as we please.

We can't afford to lose games by 12 goals each week. I want proper structures and a better forward effort.

Tell me where did I said that's the reason, or learn to read.

Umpiring hasn't been that bad, not great, but not bad enough to even comment on it, so when you say "we've been bad, BUT..... blah blah umpiring" it sounds a lot like excuses.

How slack is Channel 7?

Tommy Mac has been taken to hospital ......... and all Ch 7 has given us is that "it is something internal" !! What if it had been Jonathon Brown?

Can anyone who doesn't relied on live free-to-air television for their information tell me what the problem is ?

I see your point, but do you reckon 2 of these guys have much improvement to come? Nicho has some handy tools and his development should continue but I suspect the other two are pretty much at their limits.

How about you share you wisdom with the rest of us. That's what the forum is for.

Magner is far from our biggest liability.

Haha, dont speak so much sense champ.

You are 100% spot on.

You can throw Dunn in there aswell, offers little.

With blokes like those above, we'll never need to deliberately tank, thats for sure.

Reckon Bail is best 22, and Nicholson not far off. The others aren't "hacks"; but not best 25 IMO.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
