Watching the Casey v Bendigo game a few weeks ago it was evident that at every stoppage he got his hands to the ball. Yes he has fitness and application deficiencies but he can get the ball in tight. If he improves his weaknesses he will be a good player.

Good base to work from. At least he can find his own footy. Most of our team can't.

It seems a long time ago that Bartel was shifted on to him in his debut game at Kardinia Park. Pros: inside mid, tall, smart player who makes quick and clever give offs, can find the ball, OK mark

Gys needs to stick a poster of Jobe Watson up on his bedroom wall. He was an unfit, lazy [censored] albeit smart footballer, with questionable disposal & was on the verge of being delisted. Hard w

We have many players who can win the ball. We win our fair share of to footy during games.

It's our inability to maintain possession of the ball that kills us. We simply don't have enough players with the required skill to hit targets or make correct decisions.

Anything like his game today?

I think we saw some of his undoubted football intelligence, with a quick direction of his teammates and smart decision making near the boundary with Howe & Trengove, leading to a good team goal.

Also made a few nice quick give offs, as he was smart enough to make sure he knew where his teammates were and turn his body before absorbing contact, allowing him to find just the right angle.

Insanely positive write-up. I thought he was slow, lacking match practice, and didn't really have an impact on the game.

Be good for Gys to get a solid taste of top level footy so he knows what he has to do in the preseason to compete at this level.

Sounds and seems under done.

Back to Casey if a couple of others are fit.

I thought he did some really clever things.

It was only a handful of moments, but for a kid who hasn't played at this level for a while, I liked a few things I saw.

Was always going to struggle running out the game, and his impact on the game is maybe a bit subtle for some to identify.

At the match with a full view of the field, looking at the how the teams' structures had shifted, him managing to make the tight handball hit its target a couple of times was crucial.

A turnover would have led to an easy goal.

He also identified what was happening, and directed JT and beckoned for Howe to get ready to come on before receiving the ball, then giving it off perfectly.

Only one moment in isolation, but it showed pure footy IQ.

Didnt perform anywhere near up to the required level today.

Stick thin! Been in the system a few years now.

Certainly no excuses for Jordy, he is a paid footballer and obviously doesn't prepare like he really should.

Morton and Gysberts have to go.

For the life of me, i can't understand why these blokes are still built like rakes - with all the facilities and professionals they have at hand.

There is simply no excuse at all, none.

He has the talent.

Just needs to build the engine,

and the drive to fulfil his potential.

I will clarify, when I say, have to go - I mean dropped, not delisted.

Obviously Jordy gets another year whilst Cale probably will get the chop anyway.

His pre-season sounded average, reports of him and Blease in the slowest distance run group?...

He can be salvaged if he decides he wants it.

I've mentioned this before, but a mate is friends with Melksham, and I'm told that when "The Weap" arrived at Essendon, the players were all given strict new diets.

On the very first day his task for lunch was eat 2 entire bbq chickens.

It was the of same ilk as diets for blokes like Phelps that you see in the paper around Olympics time.

Both need to eat a lot more, but I did notice a bit more definition creeping into the upper body of Gysberts today too.

It's fair to say I'm quite interested in his current status at the club, and watched him closely today.

So he doesn't have "drive" after an interrupted pre-season and coming back from a broken jaw to play at senior level?!

Dumb dumb comment.

Colin sylvia - interupted pre-season, worked back into form, Kudos to Colin.

Luke Tapscot - Interupted pre-season, worked back into team on form, Kudos to Luke.

Jordan Gysberts - Interupted pre-season, yet to do so, No kudos for Jordan.

Professional football.

Gee after his first game back, didn't pickup 30 touches. Don't think Tappscott got many in his frst game either.

    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.
