Melbourne round two vs Best
B: Lynden Dunn, James Frawley, Alex Georgiou (Col Garland)
HB: Jack Grimes, Tom McDonald, Dean Terlich (?)
C: Jack Trengove (?), Dom Tyson, Daniel Cross
HF: Jack Watts, Cam Pedersen (Chris Dawes), Jimmy Toumpas
F: Jeremy Howe, Jack Fitzpatrick (Mitch Clarke), Rohan Bail (Jessie Hogan)
FOLL: Jake Spencer (Max Gawn), Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince
I/C: Shannon Byrnes, Matt Jones (Jack Viney), Jay Kennedy-Harris, Viv Michie,

The sad fact is we playrd near the best side last week minus a quality forward or two. We were flogged but I cant see too many changes to the backline or midfield. Most teams play with at least a couple of the best 22 in rehab.

Garland is not a game changer in the backline and neither is Gawn in the ruck. Jack Viney is ripper but we cant expect his inclusion to turn the middfield around

Are Terlich and Trengove in the best 22? I am not convinced with either player and would consider MacKenzie for Terlich and M Jones, Evans, Blease and Kent as replacements for Trengove especially if pace is a consideration.

What is your best side and can the current list be competetive with a good dose of confidence and some more time learining the game plan?

Agree. That is our best 22. Very few teams get their best 22 out there for many games in a season, so a big part of the problem is depth. As a rebuilding team (again), ours is very very shallow.

Clearly our best effort for the year was the NAB win against Richmond notwithstanding suggestion that the opposition might have coasted a bit.

The players involved are the same as the ones playing now bar Barry, Blease, Evans, King, McKenzie and Strauss (not many big names there).

The forward line was without Clark, Dawes, Hogan AND Fitzy. Spencer rucked. The win came upon the the back of an intensity at the contest but this was mostly missing last week and to a degree against St Kilda. It seems to me that a number have decided that the game style is 'too hard'. Trengove was arguably our best FFS.

    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
