Looks a short side if Strauss & Kent are holding down the CHF & CHB positions. Although at another look I guess Davis and Pederson can take the key roles, but still looks a bit unbalanced around the ground.

Isn't there still that rule that if you're playing against a non AFL affiliate side you can only have a total of 12 AFL listed players playing?

If so that'll explain why Taggert & Tynan are named in the 2nd's.

I hope that is right and would explain the selection I guess.

I asked a couple of coaches about Jetta, told he needs to work on a couple of things and to put some solid consistent footy together at VFL level, spoke to Nev himself today at training, not a happy camper but detemined to get in to the AFL side.......as for Taggert and Tynan still very young and still growing (Taggert told me today he had put on 5kg during the preseason).....the Club is developing them slowly.....coaches happy witn both ot them.....I prefer this approach rather than throwing to wolves if not ready

Still not a good sign if Taggert who we picked in the 30s in the draft after a full pre-season is playing Casey seconds. I would hope he would be aiming to start running out 25 plus possesion games for casey.

as stated above, Melbourne development indeed.

Bay before you start sounding like some of the other posters on here, Taggert was out most of last season with stress fractures in his back, something you don't mess around with, they are making sure it doesn't happen again, part of being young, same with Tynan who has had a myriad of soft tissue......... Michael Evans also had same problem with his back but with same cautious approach back playing...............we have been a bit unlucky

Thanks for that, any key points/events from training?

The only real point, get on really well with Jack Viney, went over and had usual chat, told him to watch out for the comparisons with other players, laughed and said he had most of them covered........watch out tomorrow night

They have some time. At some point we are going to get this stuff right, we can't assume the fate of those that have gone before will be the fate of those there now.

Just a point on Taggert, been playing him forward, he can kick a goal, probably building versatility into him, he is a good size, and if still growing........Tynan asked me whether he looked bigger, which he does, said they have him working on his frame, they are obviously going away from the 'skinny kid' syndrome.....

also spoke to Mitch Clisby who I think might be a quick developer this year.....looking fwd to testing himself in the VFL

and finally because there is no traiining report topic...spoke to the Kiwi international rookie (won't attempt his name, can't remember it) asked why I have seen him at last two training sessions...he is over for a solid six week block of training with the Club, so we are serious, told him his kicking has improved, said works on it everyday, loving the challenge and is going to give it everything he has got

They are not just the domain of RR.

I would be [censored] off too when you play real well in the nab cup yet don't get a sniff at all come round 1 when you have duds like luke tapscott who showed nothing all summer.

Surely Taggert isn't playing VFL reserves. That is a serious worry if the case.

Can only hope they are playing it safe after his injury interrupted season last year. The kid can play and has a seriously good kick on him, something a lot of his mates don't. So lets see how the year pans out.

    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
