Don't know if this has been mentioned! (2 year contract) I guess we won't be trading him then? or does that mean we can? Good on you big fella! FORWARD/ruckman Jack Fitzpatrick will remain a Dem

I gave him heaps and now take it all back, I don't think he will be as good as some think but he's certainly not as bad as I thought.

Well done Beaker Fitzy!

Fitzy re commits, Jack Viney hurts when we lose. Both want to get the very best out of themselves.

Jack Watts jogs mostly but moves on from a loss quickly, waits and sees before choosing...

The contrast could not be more obvious.

Good decision Fitzy. Hope you continue to develop and improve.

It's guys like this that are going to dig the club out of the situation it's in, guys who will either make it or die trying!

really shows up the attitude problem of a few of the more high profile boys on the list

Great news. Whilst I am an average judge, he is certainly one I thought had the tools to progress. Apart from anything else, he has presence that we desperately need. For goodness sake, why talk of trading a bloke who is starting to look the goods.

With Watts likely to leave they probably wanted to sign him up quickly to bolster our key position stocks for the nest couple of years.

Watts would do well to have a look at Fitzpatrick. It is often said Watts wishes he was a pick 60 draft.

Well...............

Great news for the club and for Fitzy. I recall someone posting earlier in the year that Fitz was feeling on shaky ground and didn't know if he was going to get another contract offer. Great for him that he was able to force his way into the side and hold that spot with some good solid performances. Now he needs to carry on improving and really cement that spot in the side for next year.

This only happened after the departure of Neeld, he had been in Casey's best for weeks.

And it was not as though we were wonderful at that point and there were no spots available.

Well...............

Watts has had an armchair ride to the top level and Fitz has had to overcome so much with the odds stacked firmly against him, just to get a game in the AFL...he could be our next Nathan Jones like success story.

Great positive sign for the club.

Great attitude from the big Fitz too

Need more of it.

Must admit I am surprised that all oc players are not waiting to find out who the coach is.

You're kidding. Watts did not choose the number 1 pick spot and the heavy pressure that goes with it as much as Fitzy did not choose where he was selected.

He should just be congratulated for battling illness and making the most of his chances.

Whilst I agree, one has chosen to tackle this challenge and the other is taking his ball and going home

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
