6 - Jordie. Nobody has done that to Ablett in a long time.

5 - Viney. Went in hard all day. Missed a couple of wrong-foot kicks, but in general was a star.

4 - Nate Jones. Same as usual

3 - Kent. Did some really good things, worked hard and provided an attacking option.

2 - Byrnes. Would be 6 if he kicked straight, but he still got 6 scoring shots. That's more than we usually see form our forwards.

1 - Spencil. Dominated the ruck and did some good work around the ground.

I've been critical of Neil Craig in recent weeks but tonight he was very good.

WTF? Did you watch the last quarter? The bit where we had them on the ropes, were dominating through the midfield and had repeat f50 entries AND HE STILL KEPT A SPARE MAN IN DEFENCE. You saw that right? Craig conceded any chance of us winning the game when he refused to send another player forward. Our boys worked their asses off but were being actively hindered by his coaching. He's just killed off any chance he had of coaching this side next year.

6 - Jordie McKenzie - First game back and smashed the greatest player of the modern era who was also plauying his 250th Amazing effort.

5 - Jack Viney - Bled for the jumper and impacted every contest, 24 touches and 8 clearances. Hard to believe he just turned 19.

4 - Nathan Jones - typical Jones game

3 - Jack Watts - 21 touches and 2 goals. On the verge of becoming a dominant player (hopefully at the MFC)2

2 - Colin Garland - fantastic season continues

1 - Jake Spencer - 41 hitouts and gave the midfielders great service

6 Spencer - I'm probably still in shock at how good he's played in his past three - He actually towelled up McEvoy, Brogan and this time Gorringe was a piece of cake.

5 McKenzie - Ablett only had 19 touches - so hard not to rank highly. And he kicked a long goal late.

4 Watts - very classy just wish he'd lay a few tackles as well.

3 Viney - huge first quarter gave everyone confidence

2 Garland - he's become so dependable.

1 N.Jones - plenty of touches but just wish he'd stop running around the back for easy handball.

He gets the ball first; do you want him to stop that too?

Disagree. I'd rather have the ball in Jones' hands than any other and happy to see him developing into an inside & outside mid ala Joel Selwood. He's become quite evasive in the last two season and his skill execution is the best on the list bar Aaron Davey.

Having Viney in the team has released Jones a little and it's beneficial.

There's surely no way Garland isn't getting runner up.

I assume we still don't send anything to the player for this?

I also assume the above question won't be answered, cause questions in these voting threads never are.

    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
