I wouldn't be dropping Salem tonatopia. For mine, with what little be did, e looks the goods.Depending on how Toumpas plays, I'd consider him or Blease for Byrnes. Edited by Return to Glory

I can't believe we just beat the Crows in Adelaide.

It's bloody unbelievable.

No negativity to any player this week please.

Fair call Ron.

PR,doesnt give games to reserve players unless warranted.

likes to stick with same 22 if possible.

learn how to defend a game together,and learn when and how to attack.

classic shutdown footy is a team thing and PR wont change things when everybody is sticking to the game plan.

macdonald is growing in confidence every game,lets not sweat on his mistakes yet.

Salem.may not have got big numbers but his pressure, tackling, bumping and shepherding was outstanding for a kid in his second game. I reckon he would have thrived had georgiou been subbed in the first instance.

Give him a full game.

I am amazed by the continual hope for Blease to get a game over player x. I think that horse is close to bolted and would take a mammoth turn around in the boy that I dont think he has in him.

Agreed. Has done nothing to speak of at Casey.

At the moment he is completely and utterly undeserving of a spot in the side, and as long as Brett Allison's reviews continue to say things like 'he needs to work on the defensive side of his game' he will remain undeserving.

Bit harsh on Frawley. He was injured. Presented.

Grimes : Gutsy & Great

Jetta : proving me and a few others wrong. Well done for persevering

JKH : Thought he was NAB /Foxtel flavour of the week. I was wrong !!!

Bail/Terlich/Dunn : Roman road builders (everything in a straight line)

Howe : Confidence returning

Watts : showed good heart and chased.Next step confidence return.

Coaching Staff : Patient & Progressive

Macca: Another dragon slain.

Dangerfield : dont need him ( he is good, though !!)

Jones/Dawes/Grimes : Leadership and courage

Viney: Learning from Cross

Cross: Great pickup because he plays with heart

Doesn't a win change attitude ???

Notice in last couple of weeks : no head dropping when things go awry.

Frawley - hampered early with injury, but gutsed it out and kept one of Crows best defenders busy

...and allowed us to keep the rotations going. Not his best day but he did his job under trying conditions...injury.

He now reminds me of Kane Tenace. Has the pace but could do little with it. Like you say - needs a mammoth turn around to retain his spot on the list.

I am surprised that some posters were unimpressed with Salem. The goal that he kicked when he was first substituted was inspiring! I am sure the Roos will select him again next week!

A la Blease I think we all live in hope, that is all. At least he was one of the picks from that abominable period where BP was calling the shots and he had an obvious weapon, that maybe BP actually saw, who knows. He is quick and gee do we ever need leg speed on the outside but unfortunately it seems Sam's brain will never catch up with his speed of body. And if after 5 years he is still learning to be defensive in the magoos well, let's just move on, which is a real shame.

I have watched him play in the VFL and he looks the goods but he so often wins the ball and unloads a spearing pass straight to the opposition. It is so frustrating.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
