If Clark and Frawley are headed for all Australian I think we would be all feeling very good about ourselves.

Jack Watts, obviously. Time to fire up and become a leader with actions and stop looking for motivation from external sources. It's all in you my friend

I don't care if he becomes a leader or not all I want from him is some desire.

A little pinch of Jack Viney and you could have a great player but then again you could say that for any player.

Put Jack Viney's head on Jack Watts' body and you'd have a brownlow medal.

Has to be Supermitch doesnt it?

This guy is a massive component of the Demons makeup make no mistake.

In saying that he needs the ball delivered to him silver service so Trenners next in line to rip it up.

I only hope that one day soon my team comes back from its 7 year holiday.

I miss them and their replacement are only at VFL level at best.

Mind you there a few good public speakers in the replacement team so all must be good!

Well who would I like to see go well next season. There is Collingwood, MessyDrugs and Brisbane Bears to choose from, oh wait there a team called Melbourne, I think I go for them next season.

Players to improve THE WHOLE MFC TEAM as they done nothing in seven years so they should all be nice and rested.

Love to see on a regular basis, Viney handballing to Toumpas on the Wing, looks up kicks long to Hogan 30m out direct in front Goal. The three house mates ripping it up together.

Watts is the other one, the bloke has copped it from the day he was drafted.

I agree. Let's not see Watts turn into the next Sylvia and show promise but never consistently deliver.

I'm tipping that with some excellent coaches finally at the club, Jack will be off the chain.

Toump and Trenners. Both have been judged to harshly and had battles with there bodies in there very short period in the game.

I think they will show lots this year and feeling a little smug about how good trenners will be this season.

I would love nothing more than Watts to rip it up. Not sure if he ever will but wow he desserves it to shut some very annoying people up.

I'm particularly keen to see Toumpas do well simply because some people were so absurdly unreasonable in their criticism and expectations of him last year.

That was an embarrassment.

None of those people have any right to ever complain about anyone else's culture problem. Seriously, writing off an 18 year old without a preseason. Bet you felt big.

Having said that, we have quite a selection of underperformers/injury victims to choose from.

Players I'm confident can improve their performance overall,

Watts, Howe, McKenzie.

Players who have been held back by injury, but clearly have quality.

Clark, Dawes, Gawn, Grimes, Trengove.

Young players who you'd have to have a bit of confidence in seeing progress from

McDonald, Viney, Toumpas, Kent, Clisby, Terlich, Fitzpatrick.

The 'hopeful' or 'last chance' basket.

Strauss, Blease, Tapscott, Bail, Spencer.

But deep down, what we all want is for Nathan Jones to lift yet another notch and, in a more competitive midfield, become recognised as leading midfielder AFL-wide.

Watts has huge room for improvement and he needs to show it next year, it's his 6th year in the system and it's make or break.

Howe has a tremendous upside and if he can get his act together he could be the player of the year for us; he has the tools but to me he seems as if he just coasts through games.

Dawes if he can stay on the park will surprise a few, he took 12 marks in a game against Hawthorn at the G and showed what he is capable of; needs to do it more often.

    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.
