Most Kicks: Colin Garland

Most Handballs: Nathan Jones

Most Disposals: Nathan Jones

Most Tackles: Jack Trengove

Most Marks: Jack Watts

Most Goals: Mitch Clark

I'd have both Frawley and Garland in as contenders for most marks.

I'm confident that Clark has goals sewn up.

Watts took a lot of marks even when out of form.

Similarly, Trengove led out tackles last year. Go figure.

Something I'd be interested to see is who will provide the 'running bounces'. Or two leaders in that stat in recent years, by big margins, were the duo of Sylvia and Davey.

Tyson, Toumpas, Vince? Maybe we'll see Frawley given some extra licence to run free?

Most Handballs: Daniel Cross

Most Disposals: Nathan Jones

Most Tackles: Jack Viney

Most Marks: James Frawley

Most Goals: Jesse Hogan

Bluey winner: Colin Garland

I'm unfortunately of the opinion that Mitch Clark has five games of footy left in his career. Fortunately, I think Hogan will be a beast from pretty much day one. I'm tipping big Spence to become our number one ruck, and Viv Michie to become one of our best two or three mids (better than everyone bar Jones, basically). I want to see Fitzy on the park regularly, possibly as a ludicrously tall winger at times, and I'd like to see Pedersen teach Dawes how to take a contested mark... otherwise, honestly, perhaps Pedersen would be a better role-playing CHF than Dawes (he is a fantastic pack mark... not sure on his goalkicking... anyone?).

I'm also tipping Roos to turn one of our much maligned fit-but-talentless midfielders (Jordie, Nicho, Bail) into a consistently solid performer who hits targets and shuts down a player (hoping for Nicho). I think Roos will LOVE Lynden Dunn and turn him into Ryan Crowley Mk II.

Most clangers: Nicholson

Least influential in a game: Bail

Most weeks out injured: Jamar

Most direct passes to opposition: Grimes

Time spent walking after opponent: Bail

Selfish acts: Blease

Squibs: Pedersen (Cam - if you are playing in the backline and an opponent runs back in to the pack you're about to hit - TAKE THEM OUT. If he doesn't make body contact, I call that a "squib").

Could've just thrown Nicholson, Bail and Grimes up in the air and left them where they landed.

    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.

    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
