6- Michael Evans-- he worked hard all day and stood up when we needed it

5- Nathan Jones-- do I need to explain?

4- Jeremy Howe-- huge last quarter from Howey, including a few clutch goals

3- Jack Grimes-- just a typical match from the skipper.

2- Max Gawn-- it's great to have him back in the team, he played very well.

1- Shannon Byrnes-- very good match today... was one of the few who worked hard throughout quarters 2 & 3. Was robbed of his fourth goal.

Honourable mentions: Sylvia, Frawley, Terlich, Trengove

6 - Nathan Jones - our heart and soul again

5 - Jack Grimes - finds the footy at will, stood up when needed

4 - Shannon Byrnes - Best game by far for the MFC, should have had 4 goals but was robbed by the review

3 - Jack Trengove - Best game foir a while, and kicked a captains goal in the last to put us 3 goals ahead. Also had 10 tackles.

2 - James Frawley - absolutely smashed Jeremy Cameron

1 - Max Gawn - this guy is going to be huge for our structure, and today showed that; Kick it in long to the big fella and good things happen

Apologies - Jeremy, Howe, Colin Garland, Matt Jones. Colin Sylvia

6. Byrnes - stood up at crucial moments in this match. 23 possies, 12 of them contested with 3 goals. A surprisingly rounded performance. Well done.

5. Trengove - 10 tackles, come to expect that, but worked hard going both ways. Massive role in this win.

4. Grimes - demanded the ball all day and generally used it well. Both captains clearly amongst the best.

3. Evans - boy oh boy wowee, we have a potential new regular starter. Works his arse off and has the skills to back that up.

2. N Jones - it's all been said. The man is great.

1. Gawn - never leave again, Maxy.

5. Howe

4. Byrnes

3. Evans

2. Jetta

1. Sylvia

Honorable mentions to Gawn given his first game back, Terlich (love his attack, run & hardness at the contest), Garland's refusal to accept mediocrity and fight his way through traffic to turn defense into attack, Chip for his close checking and ability to read the ball in flight and body/pressure his opponent out of the play over 4 quarters and Grimes for his creative play and will to get to another contest.

N Jones - competitive throughout, kept us in it

S Byrnes - showed the experience and poise needed when we were crumbling

M Gawn - Provided an option around the ground and up front

M Evans - Bit of speed, skill and more importantly seems to possess a footy brain

M Jones - a lot of hardwork (possesions,pressure) before it got easy

C Garland - attacked from defence

Of course not being at the game, this doesn't take into account what defensive pressure/running they did. For 3 quarters we were exposed again.

6 - Nathan Jones: Heart and soul of this footy club. Will go down as an MFC great by the time he's done.

5 - Michael Evans

4 - Shannon Byrnes

3 - Jack Grimes

2 - Max Gawn

1 - Jack Trengove

Howe, Sylvia, M. Jones, Terlich good too. You can see why Matt Jones won Box Hill's most consistent player award last year.

Watts still plays like a lazy teenage girl.

6. Jones - did what he does, and was essential

5. Grimes - all day all day

4. Howe - most impressed by one of his less spectacular goals, in the last corner, create by sheer workrate to lead back toward goal again

3. Byrnes - Kept bobbing up and being effective

2. Evans - what a special last quarter

1. Gawn - did well in each role he was asked to do, and it mattered

Most impressive team behaviour for me was that our defenders were looking to take marks. a really visible change of behaviour and confidence compared to just a couple of weeks ago where they were spoiling things which clearly should have been defensive marks. Really important change and CREDIT TO NEELD for turning around that loss of confidence.

6. Byrnes - Showed leadership for 4 qtrs was our most consistant player across the game.

5. Jones - consistant but miss a couple he could have kicked.

4 - Evans - 3 goals from a midfielder, ran all day - very good.

3. Gawn - contested marks held how refreshing...

2. Sylvia - Finally showed something last qtr

1. Davey - I thought his impact for playing just over a qtr was profound. He created options, space and pressure in defence. 2 Goals we good reward.

    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
