Would like to see have seen Evans play a few more games this season (I really don't know where I stand with him).

He came out and had a couple really good games and then dropped a bit (maybe he needed a rest or the opposition begun to watch him)

Where do others see him? (a definite part of our future or is it to early to tell?)

I personally think he is going to be a very VERY good player, he needs time and is effectively a first year player given his injuries but i think in 2-3 years he will be the next cameron Bruce

To be honest Bruce is a distant memory for me. All I can remember was that he liked having space on the wing and liked to run slowly waiting for an opposition to come to him and then he would handball over the oppositions head to a team mate. (Or am I just making that up? ... seems like a life time ago)

I just think he will be a goal kicking wingman type, obviously abit quicker than Bruce but i am hoping he will be the same sort of consistant player, at one point Bruce was talked about as a possibility for the brownlow as was Johnstone, who toumpas reminds me quite abit of

I hope you're referring to his foot skills rather than his work ethic and attitude.

Just re looked at the injury list again with the exception of Clark and perhaps Evans the rest at not close to our best 22.

That means the current side over the last couple of weeks is as good as we can put on the park.

I don't believe we can blame the injury list for our woes.

We are just plain crappy.

RE not missing best 22 players, we are missing fringe players who would rotate in and our based on form.

Not a major problem but does impact selection.

Seems to me we are missing about 15 good players half of this best 22 are fringe players

Guys like Evans and Jamar should be wraped in cotton wool for the remainder of the season. No point risking them at all just get them ready for a big preseason.

Not too sure why we should be worried about Jamar he has been playing like our third string ruck man now for two years.

If only Pickles Evans could get a decent preseason under his belt and have an injury-free season. The club have perseverd with him over ( I think) 3 injury-riddles seasons now so they must see something in him in a similar way to Max Gawn.

Note to all Demonland revisionists: Cameron Bruce might have been an outside player whose helicopter drop-punts and hospital hand -passes made us all cringe at times, but it is totally unfair to question his work ethic or talent. At his peak he was a very, very good footballer. Don't let's re-write our own history because we are all feeling so poorly about 2013.

You have my vote Maldonboy

he also had an ability that a few of the current crop could emulate

He could get the bloody ball even if he was an outside player.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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.
