No. More like an enigma.

At first glance I thought you said enema.

I was going to agree.

Out Dunn. 1 week (at least).

With Tom McD (and Sellar?) probably still out, presumably an opening in the back line, given that that's where Dunn played on the weekend. Strauss?

Running out of troops here.

Garland & Rivers back, Cook to debut up forward?

Jesus. Jamar is back this week, right? Right? And even though I've not been on the Couch bandwagon, he's literally kicked down the door on the weekend, especially with Magner looking VERY tired.

IN: Jamar, Couch, Green, Gysberts, Strauss

OUT: Spencer (to be 1st ruck at Casey), Dunn (susp), Magner (rested), Moloney (to Casey please), Bennell (Casey)

B: Nicholson Frawley Rivers

HB: Grimes Watts MacDonald

C: Gysberts Trengove Sylvia

HF: Couch Green Blease

F: Martin Garland Howe

R: Jamar Jones McKenzie

I: Bate Strauss Tapscott

Sub:Bail

EMG: Cook, Fitzpatrick, Bennell

If Frawley doesn't get up: Garland to FB, Cook in at FF.

Gee doctor Cook at Full Forward.

Nothing like throwing him in at the deep end.

Not sure I want to ruin the kid for twelve months

Freo Backline would crack him into 3 bits in the first quarter.

All for giving the kid a run but can we ease him in a little please

OD, I'm sure many backlines in the VFL would hit him harder than Freo's will.

I just fail to see who else we'd have at FF. Fitzpatrick? Seems to be more of a backup ruckman than a forward.

Green at FF, maybe, then your boy Bennell in the forward pocket?

What about Howe FF? Can play in the Franklin mould: quick/good leader, great mark, big tank who can wander up ground.

Howe was playing FF when recruited. Bit of a no brainer to me.

Cook at FF won't be so bad. He'd be up against NOS, so he won't be bullied or monstered. Might get outplayed, but that comes with being a beginner. As it stands right now we need someone tall down there rather badly. Martin can't do it all on his own.

RM there is a bloke playing in the back line he is 6 6" can take a grab, good kick for goal and was recruited as a forward.

Why not give him a go?

Agree Old Dee, when we lined up on Saturday I thought our coach was playing forwards as backs and backs as forwards, then I thought all year our midfielders have chased the footy around like under 9's and then bang it hit me Mark Neeld's game plan make it simple under 9's footy the only issue I had was they didn't swap at half time.

I would love to see Watts back forward, play him on the spud at his third club. My forward line can kick goals with Howe, Green, Davey, Watts, Martin and Cook it would be a hard forward line to match up on Howe and Green can play tall, they mark the footy well all players except Davey can rotate through full forward plus push up high half forward and all besides Cook are dangerous when the ball hits the ground.

The only issue is can we get it inside 50m for these guys to kick the goals.

Just extracting the urine, OD.

And please do note that I only have Cook in in the case that Frawley doesn't pass the concussion test this week.

Yes I was well aware of that Dr.

Need a good laugh these days as there is not much happening on weekends to get a smile going.

May be praying for a Miracle there dee-luded

I would think he will be out more than one week.

Certainly won't fly to Darwin

Back for the GWS might be a good result

If so I don't know who else has the agility, strength X endurance if Pav plays leadup?

We'll have to play Frawley as we do with Buddy.

You are right there is no one.

The only way the Dees can beat Pav is to reduce the supply and I doubt our mid field can do that anymore on Saturday than they have all year.

It will not be pretty

The voice of reason, has to happen. Those of you saying that Cook isnt ready and will get destroyed, how about you look at Jeremey Cameron, he seems to be doing fine and he has done half an afl pre season. Cook needs to be given a chance.

In: Cook Green Gysberts Jamar

Out: Dunn Spencer Magner Bennell

Couch's 25 touches and 4 goals not good enough to get a go in your team Jonesbag?

Id be lying if i said i didnt feel bad for leaving him out but i feel in the long run getting games into gysberts would be more beneficial

I hear what you're saying, but I just think from a culture point of view we have to reward him with a game.

All this talk of cook getting smashed because he is too small makes me look at Chris Dawes and wonder what his problem is? It's not a body building competition it's footy. As has been said Jeremy Cameron is going fine for his size and there are plenty of tarzans playing like Jane and Jane's playing like Tarzan in the AFL. if the lad has form then pick him.

    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’

    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
