That's an awful review. You may as well not do it at all. If you are attempting to foster an environment of honest feedback then I don't see how these reviews would cause any issue. I find the revi

Would be great to 'trial' a few up in Darwin and leave some key players on ice for Geelong the week after. We all know we don't back up well from the Darwin games and I think the Cats are more gettable. Maybe keep McDonald out, bring in Michie for Viney, georgiou in for Terlich, may as well rest Jamar and let Gawn and Pederson get smashed by Sandilands. Wouldn't hurt to put Tapscott in to 'take care' of Ballantyne.

Certainly not worth flying anyone who is "marginally fit" or carrying a significant soft tissue injury up to Darwin. That is NOT tanking by the way - player injury management.

Cats are gettable? Surely you jest?

I've watched a few Cats games this year and yes, I think they are more gettable than the Dockers.

Frawley making it tough for Hawkins, Jetta on Motlop, Vince on Selwood. If we can guide them to the flank and pocket and restrict their run through the middle it's game on.

Although it would require us playing a whole 4 quarters of football. Not the 2 or 3 we have seen lately.

Yeah, that last line.

We simply can not, in these next three weeks, allow 40 minutes where the other team are the only ones interested in attacking the game.

You go into your shells against the best teams and they will bury you.

I am not surprised the players have gone into their shells early against Essendon and the Bulldogs - they have spent 2 years in their shells against all teams.

I am pleasantly surprised that they have come out of their shells while the punishment is occurring.

It's progress.

White knuckled, frustrating progress...

although casey got pumped, it was good to see tapscott had some positive feedback and pushing for selection. I really want him to have a solid crack at getting himself back in to the seniors. if theres a suitable sub i wouldn't mind seeing him getting a run.

perhaps replacing terlich if he's out.

Bit disappointing.

30 touches and 8 tackles not enough to dislodge some of the riff-raff from Sunday's game.

Don't think possessions are the measure. Michie had similar numbers against Box Hill and got nowhere. JKH has had 2 ordinary games before Willy so probably looking for consistency.

Georgiou to back line Howe to forward pocket

I was a little worried about Howes form early in the year and last year he was providing cameos but not much more. He now seems to be finding the football and involved in the play much more and besides a few dodgy disposals and decisions he has been valuable down back. I would leave him there.

The only thing I would have tried is late last week - throw him for the last 10 minutes to the forward line to stand on someones head. (ie take a mark)

Some players never play well at VFL but do at AFL. I'd have him in for his X factor. We don't take the game on.

yeh, I guess he will need a run at some time before the years up… work out if we keep him or not

Most players who never play well at VFL, never do at AFL level either.

    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
