Casey must be tanking.

A great run from Pickles involving two bounces ends in a great goal.

How has he been today KC.

Cook that is?

Struggling like most of the small MFC contingent. The most impressive of the Demons is Michael "Pickles" Evans who is boring into packs as if he hasn't missed most of the season with a back injury and Leigh Williams who is lively up forward.

Meanwhile, Casey creeps closer with another goal but it's too late 11.10 to 17.7 at 24 minutes.

Interesting that Williams is doing so well. Could be that he gets a late call-up rather than Cook at some point this year the way he's improving.

Interesting thought - especially considering his near death experience only a couple of months ago.

One would have to think that if Cook cant get a call up now, with the dearth of tall forwards and the overall lack of numbers at this "junk time" of the season then maybe MN has already decided that he wont make it.

Thats because Williams is going to be one hell of a player.

Keep an eye on the kid, he is only going upwards.

Went to the game today, and while I don't like pointing the finger at young players, I have to admit that I wasn't impressed with Cook today.

He's still young and I hope today was just a bad day at the office, but he failed to have any real impact on a day where he was needed due to the lack of Melbourne players playing,

To be fair, delivery wasn't great but he didn't do enough for my liking. I know he has the tools to be a good players, I just hope he shows something in the remaining weeks this season, because if he keeps playing the way he did today, he'll have a battle to get a new contract.

I am a Cook fan and have gone into bat for him before, but today he just wasn't good enough and I was really disapointed!

Sad to hear. He was showing a lot of promise 4-5 weeks ago.

The selection of Cook at 12 was wrong especially when we could have Darling or Atley or someone that was capable of playing AFL before 2015; bloody dreadful decision.

Quite a few of our selections are turning out that way.

Yes they are and all thanks to Cameron and Prendergast I reckon you me and old dee could have done a better job. Notice how the faithful have dropped off him over the last half of the year, where's all the support gone?

Watched a bit of the Box Hill v Coburg game today and saw Maric running around, another wasted high draft pick.

Great post - balancned, with no hysteria. I hope Cook turns out to be a good pick. He's going to have to work hard to get there it would seem, based on Neelds recent comments about him not being fit enough yet

Agreed. He will have to have one mighty pre-season to ensure he "stays" a listed player. It does take key position/ruck players a few years to develop but he seems to lack the true footy smarts and to use his body.

(maybe add to the list of 10 players missed ...Jack Darling, Shaun Atley, Ben Jacobs all were missed here)

    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.
