Trengove - playing on empty

Grimes - gave a damn

Watts - couldn't find rhythm

Bate - second half effort

Frawley - seemingly without passion

Sylvia - started to perform

McKenzie - disposal was amateurish

Dunn - not the worst

Blease - some isolated cameos

Garland - no heroics today

Moloney - no involvement again

McDonald - absence was felt

Rivers - not the answer

Macdonald - our best defender

Sellar - was always solid

Martin - looked totally lost

Tapscott - angry but useless

Howe - classy but absent

Spencer - waste of space

Bail - had little involvement

Nicholson - brave but careless

Magner - is obviously tiring

This is my take:

Trengove – good game today

Grimes – run the lines

Watts – disposal very efficient

Bate – 2H much better

Frawley – very ordinary today

Sylvia – good under pressure

McKenzie – wasted his opportunities

Dunn – kicked out well

Blease – broke the lines

Garland – marked strongly today

Moloney – must be dropped

McDonald – we missed Tom

Rivers – good leader today

Macdonald – really good game

Sellar – worked hard today

Martin – top 5 today

Tapscott – needs to focus

Howe - also ran hard

Spencer – did ok contested

Bail – needs better decisions

Nicholson – really worked hard

Magner – tough but ineffective

Blease was better than you suggest

I started a post about 10 days ago wondering why Blease is not given a decent go. He clearly has genuine ability. Put him in the STARTING 21, challenge him with whatever he's not doing that you want him to do and LEAVE him there for a few matches.

3 word analysis. "Another poor game"

Mark Neeld: Melbourne will be the hardest team to play. Must be like a Billy Connolly concert ... the laughter is contagious (by 15 clubs excl Suns & Giants).

It's a process. Processes take time.

I really thought Martin was our best today. He looked composed with good rucking and good disposal.Never looked 'lost' for a moment.

Thought Martin was good. Would like to see more of him this year. His possessions and impact was notable, for a guy that's been out of the seniors for most of the season. Would be a waste to trade or (worse still) delist at the end of the year, especial if we keep Spencil or Gawn. I know Gawn is a project to be developed, but Martin has shown that he is ready to hit the ground running now.

The only thing Martin lacked today was match fitness. He held his own in the ruck contests, against an opponent who routinely bakes Jamar, and gave us a lot around the ground.

LOLOLOLOL. Just listened to JTren's post match interview. He got asked by Burgan about the loss of Jamar and he's like Spencer was serviceable in a very quiet manner! LOLOOL

Martin was decent in the hit outs but his disposals were misleading, he fumbles constantly and does tiny little kicks. Martin is an able replacement but Jamar is still far, far better. As for Spencer I don't think he needed to play and if McDonald wasn't injured he would've been subbed out at half time. Spencer will only ever be a decent VFL ruckman. He can't get the ball, kick properly (and non awkward), mark or any other basics at AFL standard. The only thing he has on his side are his height and some ok tap skills. Very lucky to get a game, we should have played Bennell for another runner.

Trengove needs to be dropped/rested as he plays like his legs are concrete pillars. Blease was quite dangerous, and should have kicked 4 instead of 2 (which would have helped his cause a lot to stay in the side). Grimes tried hard but he needs to get his disposal back to scratch. Watts was not as good as usual, but still alright and one of our best today

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
