This is where I would love to see the MFC show some initiative, as well as respect for our aligned team, and broadcast the first half of the Casey game on the big screen at the MCG. I'm not sure if it

Staggers me that people are calling for Georgiou's scalp after one bad game. Bean has been very good this year and used the ball well, one bad game and we drop him. Harsh on a player who has shown mor

So ripped off in the Kelly deal. Can't believe we got Tyson and Salem and missed out on Kelly.Spare me, media nuffys.

Roos could make a statement with some changes next week, but that wasn't a loss of the magnitude against West Coast. We're hanging in there and being competitive, but we're a long way from dominating any teams. It's frustrating that we've lost 3 very winnable games now though, especially looking at the month of misery we're in for.

It's going to be a hard slog, and we'll be stuck with VFL level talent until we can turnover the list in October. Keep Salem at Casey for a while longer, Roos will want to see who stands up against the elite teams we're facing in the next month.

Agreed - we've blown 3 chances to get valuable confidence-boosting wins on the board.

We don't have St Kilda, Carlton or Gold Coast again this year. We do, however, still have to play Geelong, Hawthorn, Fremantle, Sydney, Essendon, Collingwood, Port Adelaide (twice), North Melbourne (twice), West Coast in Perth, and Adelaide in Adelaide.

Bulldogs (twice), GWS at home, Richmond and Brisbane are probably all we have left, to be perfectly fair (though at our best who knows against Sydney this week). It really hurts to think that, with a bit of luck and a couple of crucial moments going our way, we could be 2-3, even 3-2 right now, with a lot more confidence at our backs.

Don't want to be negative nelly but the proliferation of VFL teams (new Rich, WB and stand alone equivalents) has almost certainly weakened the comp. It should theoretically make the gap even bigger between AFL and VFL.

That said Salem playing well is great to here. Bit sick of hearing about Kelly, Aish, Bontempelli, Billings etc.

Is the Toumpas playing?

He was definitely playing and got a lot of the ball early but didn't hear him getting many mentions after half time. He could have been injured.

I wasn't at the game but got the scores and some descriptions from Casey Radio.

Garland also did well in what was a scrappy game. I would think it would be sufficient for him to pull up well to get a game at Melbourne next week.

Roos is well known for allowing players to develop at 2nds level to what he requires of them before allowing them to play 1's. In saying that we have weaker list than the Swans lists he had so we might see Salem sooner, but let him have some time to develop before putting him on a pedestal.

No way, I thought JKH showed quite a bit today. Has goal sense, which we crucially lack from smalls.

Not sure we want to push Salem in straight away, but if we do, Jetta goes.

Mate, have a look at the time things are posted before jumping the gun.

Was written before half time where JKH had done sweet F-all. Salem was killing it, would have been a worthy swap at that stage.

JKH was good in the second half, will be better after a few pre-seasons.

I didn't think JKH looked lost at any stage today. I at least saw him getting involved, unlike 3 or 4 others.

    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
