No offence, but it's probably a good idea to watch the game and vote or not vote at all

Actually all we've established is that you're a [censored]. Put your own votes up and justify them. Spencer played as our sole ruck all day, 40 (?) Hit outs, ran hard, made efforts to shepherd both

I think that once our midfield structures improve he will find an "outlet" with a little more ease. However I squirm when Jones is described as elite as this is the one knock on his game. I will not c

6: Jack Watts ( everything he touched turned to gold, reckon he is about to show us why he was a pick 1.)

5: Nathan Jones ( was absolutely everywhere and busted his gut.)

4: Bernie Vince ( if he kicked straight he could have had 30 touches and four goals)

3: Dom Tyson ( made mistakes but 32 touches and a goal and we have a gem on our hands)

2: Lynden Dunn ( was super impressed, his kicking was a real highlight )

1: Matt Jones ( that chase down of Gilbert, looked very zippy and clean )

6 N Jones - in everything

5 Watts - would have got 6 if left on the midfield

4 Dunn - rarely beaten

3 Toumpas - gut ran all day

2 Spencer - threw his body around, great effort

1 Georgiou - encouraging signs first up, defended well

If Vince kicked straight he could have had any of those votes!

6 - Jack Watts

Clear BOG, well not clear but just ahead of Nathan Jones.

Watts looked unbelievable tonight, 27 scintillating touches and the most impressive thing is that most were in heavy traffic.

He looked like he was on a whole other level to everyone else around him.

Great signs.

6 Jones In everything

5 Watts would have got 6 of left on the midfield

4 Dunn Rarely beaten

3 Toumpas Gut ran all day

2 Spencer threw his body around, great effort

1 Georgiou Encouraging signs first up, defended well

Georgiou - are you kidding?

6 - N. Jones. Still needs more help

5 - Watts. Great game with exceptional skills, poise and decision making. Would have been 6 but he still can't tackle

4 - Dunn. Is probably now our backline leader.

3 - Vince.

2. Trengove. Magnificent for 2.5 quarters.

1. M Jones. Improved as the game went on.

Can't give Tyson a vote - the errors he made were true shockers, and took wind out of our sails when we had some momentum.

6 J. Watts - 96.3%, 27 disposals, several assists, looked like he had his own personal force field he was so hard to tackle.

5 N. Jones - Pretty sure that's the most ball he's ever had. Just worked so damn hard. Would have had him BOG if he'd kicked that goal.

4 Dunn - Best of the backs. Was forced to play on a significantly bigger opponent a lot of the night and did it well.

3 Tyson - In everything, used it pretty well, second most disposals

2 Vince - would have been higher if not for the four points next to his name.

1 Spencer - As bad as his hands are, he had 40 hitouts, gave us a lot of use of the ball and fought really hard for the ground ball. He lacks class, but his effort is huge.

Georgiou - are you kidding?

I'm happy to be corrected on this one. The times I recognised him I was happy with his effort and application. It might be a case of not not seeing him enough!

And perhaps I am being harsh on Vince. He deserved to be in the top 6, I just felt his misses really cost us.

If you were in the centre square you would expect the occasional tap from Spencer.

I was a Spencer fan and he had to go all night but so did Stanley (I think).

We lost it in the middle to the worst midfield we will see.

Agree with that prognosis.

So we've established that Deanox knows nothing about football. Toumpas, Spencer and Georgiou. My God.

6 - Watts (reminiscent of Travis Johnstone at his best, outstanding)

5 - N. Jones (pretty close to elite status now. Have noticed he seems to have mastered a similar tactic to Selwood in getting free's)

4 - Dunn (rock-solid)

3 - Tyson (would have been higher if not for early errors. But still good).

2 - Vince (a bit wasteful but valuable)

1 - Trengove (busy but wasteful)

6 Watts (He just seemed to be everywhere, regardless if he was touching the ball or not)

5 N Jones (what tag!)

4 Dunn (I didnt have him in best 22, eating my humble pie)

3 Tyson (great pick up)

2 Trenners (some errors but I like that he is getting amongst it)

1 Cross (11 tackles, didn't think he touched it enough but really laid some pressure)

I must admit I was pretty shattered after last night.

However in the cold light of Sunday morning...

6: Jones N. In doing this, I long for the day when I can regularly give my top votes to another player.

5: Watts. Could well be this bloke if he keeps showing what he did last night!

4: Dunn. Maturity, courage and leadership, he's gone from bit player to essential.

3: Vince. More than just a pretty face and a great off season pick up, but needs to kick straight.

(Maybe a few lessons from Dunny and Wattsy would help).

2: Tyson. Good game, but for a couple of bad clangers could have been a great game.

(Refer comments re Watts).

1: Spencer. An elephant stamp for effort.

And by the by, did anyone see #38 at the game? He was listed to play!

Or did we play with just 17 men on the ground?

I agree 100% with Sassy so I have re-posted their ranking below:

6: Jack Watts ( everything he touched turned to gold, reckon he is about to show us why he was a pick 1.)

5: Nathan Jones ( was absolutely everywhere and busted his gut.)

4: Bernie Vince ( if he kicked straight he could have had 30 touches and four goals)

6. Watts (best game for the MFC. Paul Roos might be just what he needed to reach his full potential)

5. N.Jones (typical Jonesy, we've seen it all before)

4. Dunn (a vital cog in defence)

3. Vince (won plenty of ball but disposal was wayward at times)

2. M.Jones (probably recruited as a 'stop gap' mid, but on that performance he will be around for a while)

1. Trengove (if only he could regain his old zip and kicking penetration)

    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.

    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
