It's a shame that the GWS game is next week and not in a few weeks, they would've been the perfect opposition to roll him out to for the first game. Perhaps the last round, bring him in similar fashion to what we did with Grimes a few years back. Just give him (and the supporters) a taste of what's to come.

Sounds like he's raring to go, not surprising, must feel like a caged animal!

Glad to hear Toumpas is back healthy again, I really want him to do well, and he's shown glimpses but nothing concrete yet.

Thanks for the report Saty.

Unbelievable that Pedersen has to miss a few weeks and have Surgery but Merrett gets off free! Disgusting MRP!!

He did everything, if that is what you mean, the whole session, so kicking, tackling, ground ball, end to end, he was moving really well, even had Salem firing kicks at head height from about 5 metres

I hope Toumpas returns to the seniors before the end of the year.

Would be good to see the Toump, Salem and Hogan get a run before the end of the year, would much rather the kids play than blokes like Tapscott

I'd be surprised to see the Toump on the play again in the senior team this year. You can lose a lot of conditioning after a surgery like that. Best thing for him would be to look towards the pre season and start fresh. Maybe get in the last 2 games at Casey

Cheers for the update report. Can't believe Merrett didn't cop a suspension.

You must be naïve and / or have not been watching MRP rulings, if you believed that there would ever be any consistency or honour in their rulings.

I am not sure whether I should be more concerned were they proven corrupt or merely inept

Disgusting MRP!!

His Coach joined the long line of commentators who were stunned he wasn't given at least 2 weeks.

We have to learn, as someone already said on here," the head is sacrosant, unless it is a Melbourne player." Sylvia says "Hi" to Eagle Josh Kennedy.

Funniest thing is even Leppitsch can't believe.

( he is in the press on this)

That was part of my weighting.. It just flies in the face of what everyone ( nearly ) thought would be the outcome. He ( Leppa) is like the cat that got the cream, cant believe Merrett is still selectable.

The MRP isnt even a joke.....theyre funny...the panel isnt

Hogan playing a game is probably the only thing that could raise my care factor from negative ten to two, maybe three, hurry up and kill the season.

It's funny because after last week's game I was as disenchanted as I have ever been, but now with another game closing I have it back.

I think it's the feeling (or desperate hope) that the boys will be intent on making up for what was their absolute worst effort of the year.

I want to see what they can give us the next few weeks, and I will be seriously p$#@ed off if we don't win at least the GWS game.

We can say farewell to Strauss, Nicholson, Blease and McKenzie without a backward look. There might still be more to learn.

Apparently you can do whatever you like against a Melbourne player and not get suspended, but God forbid a Melbourne player do something that has a whiff of controversy - just check out the Jack Viney and Jack Trengove results - still can't believe Trenners copped 3 weeks for something no one else has ever been cited for!!

That stills hold the record for me. Suspended for an attempt, which the other player avoided and fell to the ground hurting himself slightly.

That could only happen to a Melbourne player.

I could imagine what the Scott brothers would have said if he played for them.

    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
