I would much rather a few of the other guys had the confidence to take the game on like Terlich.

Sylvia? Really? Ran around the outside of packs, 10 direct turnovers, kicking efficiency about 50%. Flashy goal in the last, 3 quarters too late.

Viney, Dawes, Howe, Garland , Gawn and Sellar get pass marks. The rest, not.

The Herald sun summed it up for me with the following - Jack Viney played his best game for the club, Matt Jones kept trying and Gawn again showed something, but that was about it.

AFL standard
Howe - Our best. If he could kick straight he would bag 5-6.

Gawn - liked his game. Big man. Has the edge.

N.Jones - tagged again. No one cuts out his tagger to help.

Sylvia - showed why he is in our top 5 players. Frustration let him down.
Viney - tried but flawed

M.Jones - classy disposal. Our best rookie this year.
Strauss - showed some run and carry. Nice goal. A keeper.

Terlich - trier

Tapscott - showed some grunt. but also fumbled too much

Frawley - was he playing !!
McKenzie - hmmm - bereft of skills
Dunn – trier.
Garland - holding back a tidal wave. trier.
Sellar - trier
Evans - trier
Kent - overwhelmed. trier. leave in to get some games into.
Dawes - no one at magpieland cried when he left. One effort player.

To be omitted:
Spencer – 2nd rate. VFL Dev squad.
Bail – ohhh. Back to vfl. Fell over. Missed tackles etc etc
Nicholson - dumb and dumber and dumb and dumber 2
Byrnes - VFL standard (drop)
Davey - limited and flawed. Missed 2 easy goals

Dawes ?? pushed off the footy. One effort. Poor elbow swing. Tried to mark on chest not hands. he was poor.

Thought for limited opportunities Dawes kicked some nice passes that had the forwards leading to the the ball. He took a couple of marks, contested a bit, and fluffed a few. For first game back, I'd give him a 'pass'. Lots of room for him to improve. Nice if players could kick to his advantage.

Call me crazy, but I've found myself agreeing with Bluey on one point tonight.

Howe plays like an absolute millionaire; best player in the U-7's.

If he could bring some variety to his game, it'd be a breath of fresh air.

His one 'screamer' today: made it look harder than it was.

    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

    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
