Dunn - outstanding all game

Cross - great stopping performance

Garland - reliable and safe

Bit harsh on Kennedy-Harris.

Bit soft on Grimes.

The rest is spot on really!

I really look forward to this analysis, and though limited to 3 words find it pretty accurate; but today I wanted to add a couple of things as it was (unusually) a little negative

N Jones - good but fumbled ( at the end - must have been fatigue)

Viney - team first player (really does so much of the hard stuff that goes unrewarded or unrecognised)

Tyson - Great, just great (a couple of errors when trying to push it and while the team are fatigued and not presenting shouldn't be judged harshly)

JKH - Good in patches (he played a role and when involved was influential)

M Jones - Keeps on going (is crucial to structure and though may not have the polish, getting the ball means they don't have it!)

Terlich - repels attacks well (regardless of decision making he stops his opponent and get the ball - they can't kick a goal without it!)

Kennedy Haris was VG today. Presents all day

THEy just ran out of steam in the last 5 minutes.

N Jones : Terrific

Watts : Sensational first half. GOt sunstroke though. He is working harder.

Frawley : Mini Dawes Attacked the Ball

Petersen,Bail Jetta & Dunn : Gone from marginal AFL to Good. Like Jetta and Bails attack on the ball

In perspective : Decade of arrogance has begun !!

I agree mate, I was very impressed with Kennedy-Harris today.

Spot on about Bail, Pedo and Jetta. Paul Roos working miracles.

I got the impression we were playing in a 28 degrees heat. Checked the official maximum temperature for Alice on Saturday and it was a mild and pleasant 20.7 degrees. Shouldn't cause sunstroke and shouldn't sap our energy for next week.

Kennedy-Harris was pretty good, he unfortunately tried to take on some of the port players a few times and either got caught or lost the ball, but all in all a good game from the young kid.

I think we can't always have it both ways. On the one hand we criticize when our players "don't take the game on" but on the other we complain when they get caught. My only criticism of JKH was a couple of times he could have given off a hand pass to other players streaming down field when he kicked it backwards into defence, but otherwise sound I thought. He was also asked to play down back on their smalls on occasions-rather strange I would have thought but no doubt Roos had his reasons.

It's not strange it is Roos continuing his 'education', we have a little gem on our hands, he didn't look out of place

I look forward to Joeboy's three word summaries. For mine he generally does a better job than the mainstream media in encapsulating the contest. Particularly when the media is obsessed with the "big story" of the week which means comment on no more than about 4 Melbourne players' performances a week so they can salivate over Gary Ablett, Travis Cloke and Patrick Dangerfield, week in, week out.

Having not being able to see or hear this game at all, I found this week's summary to be quite negative. My first thought was surprise but my second thought was that Joeboy has raised his own standards. He now expects more than noble losses - and I think that's great.

He was caught - I prefer he continued this approach - you win games by taking it the game on on certain occasions and he will learn when to and when not to. But cudo's to him for backing his own ability.

Now that's better, I was another that used to 'like' Joeboy's efforts, it is not that he has raised his standards, I think jaundice has set in, either that or he didn't watch the game

Hey Saty,

I was (respectfully) critical of Nev Jetta, not because he wasn't doing a good shutdown job but because we needed a small defender to offer more. He needed to attack the contest rather than wait for his opponent to and then try and shut him down ( which I also said he had some success with).

On the weekend he mixed his game up - defended and shutdown when required, attacked the contest first and with confidence when he felt in position to do so and peeled off to present a loose option when we had the ball in hand.

This was what I think we all wanted to see and I am sure that Roos would have been delighted with his game.

Chap it's what I told you about Jetta and Roos, Roos wanted Nev to get the shutdown role to become second nature first, then when he was comfortable with that, to use his natural ability to take the game on, I spoke to him at training on the Thursday before, he was excited about playing in the Indigenous Round and was confident he could shut down Wingard and others and then start create and take the game on, but Roos rule is defend first

I was a bit doubtful about how quickly Roos and his coaches could unlock the potential that has been below the surface in a few of our mid tier players, but I was wrong.

Nev also owes Jade Rawlings, it was Jade who went in to bat for him to keep him on the rookie list.

The good thing with Nev, he is still not confident that he will be retained, so he is going out each week to make them keep him

    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
