1. green - Farewell champ.

What game were you watching?! Spencer was possibly the worst on the ground! He was totally uncompetitive in the ruck and a hack around the ground. Sam Jacobs pulverised him all day.

I'm being mean here, but that's the worst decision to award votes I've ever seen on this website.

Being at the game and not watching on TV might result in differing opinions but my votes would be:

6- Sylvia- Clearly the best in a team getting smashed

5- Jones- Is an absolute workhorse

4- Howe- the only marking target we had all day

3- Sellar- given he played a bit of everywhere i thought he performed most roles well but for one horrible shot at goal

2- Blease- the only bloke who looks remotely dangerous in the forward line

1- Tapscott- a lot of hard efforts and strong marks today

And the 5 votes from red and blue forever were a typo.

Was almost considering just giving Green 21 votes and letting the farce end, however, upon reflection....

6. Sylvia - stood up against a good team for a change.

5. Jones - absolute hard nut. Just doesn't give up.

4. Sellar - would've had the 6 if he could kick.

3. Howe - give this man a preseason and he could be anything, providing he hasn't killed himself flying to take a grab.

2. McKenzie - niggler. Love the way he goes about it.

1. Bail - just for starting a few fights.

6. Sylvia - NOW get out his back, Col is vital for 2013 and beyond.

5. Jones - my 6-yr old son loves Jonesy grunt and desire for the footy.

4. Sellar - a good #53 draft pick. Versatile as a key fwd or back

3. Howe - puts a smile on my face. Great mark and agile. A big pres season and watch out.

2. Grimes - got better over the last few weeks. Now lets see a full season and an ability to run the loines again.

1. Dunn - has found a spot in defence. Now a versatile option in our list.

minus 6 : Spencer. 9% hitouts to advantage, that's 2 out of 21. In fact, half his taps went direct to the Crows midfield.

Jacobs was in their best 5. We lost the centre square and clearances.

You have a very short memory, Col Sylvia's best games for the club have been against Collingwood and Hawthorn and he always plays well against these two clubs. You watch every game, the games he plays well are the games he spends most his time in the midfield, hopefully he gets a full pre-season no injuries through the year.

I'm surprised with Dunn getting votes. I thought he looked good in the first quarter but really struggled when the pressure was on (and in defense of the backmen, it was really on big time after half way through the second quarter). He seemed lost and unaccountable to me and had some poor disposals. I admit I've never been a Dunn fan but while he was not the worst yesterday, I didn't think he was in the top 15.

These would have been my votes if I had arrived home before the cutoff:

6. Sylvia: building a bit of consistency late in the season

5. Jones: worked his butt off, as usual

4. Howe: becoming more than just a highlights reel

3. Sellar: a solid target up forward

2. Grimes: another sound performance

1. Tapscott: perhaps the best of the rest

Curry n Beer, you have failed to see development in Blease. That was his best game for the club to date because he played well in the second half... running the game out. He had more involvements than in any game to date (not just a flashy goal here and there). There were also numerous occasions when he put himself in good position to receive and go but team mates chose to ignore him. Yes, he blazed away on a few occasions bu tso does Milne. The development in Blease has been a highlight of the final month of the season... you just can't see it. Stick around!

    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
