I'm more interested in this game then I am in the ones as I have no faith we can kick a winning score and the Giants.

This game however has interest. Looking forward to seeing how the two lads perform after being dropped.

Also want to see if the so called 'senior players' like Tappy, Jamar etc decide to pull there fingers out of there backsides and get fair dinkum.

I agree Nut. Riley is a tackling machine and a really hard at it mid and I'm keen to see him. Always held out more hope for him than Michie who has struggled to have any influence. Spoke to someone

So today I decided to head down to Windy Hill instead of watching our boys against the Giants. In the stands sat Garland, Dawes and Tapscott – Tapscott with strapping around his Right Quad. No sign of

Here is my rough run down, I don't pretend I am anything more than a rank amateur but here goes. It was a fairly ordinary game with lots of errors by both sides in the first half and only improved a

Quarter time scoreboard gives the impression of a similar (low) standard game to the main one

Jamar???

Watched the Scorpions thought Jamar was okay. Pretty scrappy.Thought no.17 was best along with 20. Not much from Trenners Toumpas, Mitchie although Trengove played in the middle in the last quarter and was better. Jetta good in patches but did not see anything to replace the current 22. Dawes is moving freely. Some heavey tagging on Michie and Trenners when on the ball.

I didn't actually realise Dawes played, will he be given more time at the VFL to settle back into footy or does he straight in regardless of form, same question goes for Jamar. Dissapointing if Toumpas, Trenners, and Michie all had quiet games. I really think Blease should be given a run in the seniors.

Did Dawes play?

No but he was fairly robust on the boundary with some mates.

Clisby in for Terlich next week, yeah? (Unless his 28 touches were all dreadful…)

McKenzie a possibility?

Pretty disappointing that none of Trengove, Toumpas, and Michie got more than 19 touches.

I'd rather see Nicholson than Grimes, both have shocking disposal, but at least Nicholson is going to run hard and have a fair dinkum crack

I want Clisby, Mckenzie and Blease as Ins.

Bail, Byrnes and Evans were very poor

Bail imo, is better in the back half, moving forward with the ball. I don't like him up forward.

Clisby I'd like to see in instead of Bail.

& I think Evans needs more than one game to find form in a unbalanced side.

What about Tompas, Trengove and Michie? If they can't get the ball at vfl level...

It's a real worry that Trengove didn't get amongst it more than that at VFL level, scary to think last year he was an AFL captain

Trengove never dominates when at Casey like you might expect. As I have stated previously, his lack of acceleration and agility will not be improved no matte what level he plays at week in week out. He either needs time off if he is suffering from OP or similar, re-invent himself as an inside mid, or he is not up to it. Sadly, option 3 looms as the favourite.

If Jamar can run out a game he must play. I am no Jamar fan but Spencer is getting monstered in the ruck.

Mumford had 60 hit outs today, that is far too much..

Our side is starting too far behind in the ruck stakes - and practically no forward line.

When the ruckman cannot give our mids first use - and our mids don't have any targets to hit up forward - makes life hard.

On top of that, we really need clean disposal out of the midfield, to even be a chance to hit a target going forward, Spencer getting smashed makes it impossible.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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
