So I'm sitting here in one of the stands at Visy Park with Melon22 and over to our right is the GWS entourage including SOS and a really fat bloke who I'm led to believe is getting paid $120k pa for s

McCartin reminds me of Cam Pedersen.

In fact he could be his clone.

Would be amazing if the Saints took him at pick 1.

Here's hoping he kicks 12 goals today.

Exciting finish with the Oakleigh Chargers coming over the top of the Geelong Falcons with a last minute goal. One of the heroes for the Chargers was Toby McLean and exciting small forward with good evasive skills.

McCartin managed only the two goals and they came within a minute or two in the third quarter but was off the ground (likely injured) soon after.

Oakleigh's Marc Pittonet was the pick of the big men but Darcy Moore (Collingwood f/s) was unsighted and Geelong's Hugh Goddard also had little influence.

Geelong's Aaron Christensen looked a likely prospect as a crumbing forward.

Cannons do it easy to win by 99 points after an early scare.

Calder Cannons Cavka James Kovacevic Carboni Foster Goodyear

North Ballarat Rebels Palmer McDonald Marshall Bennett Johnston Ludeman

The full forwards for both teams were outstanding. Foster is a potential Bulldogs f/s selection who was terrific in the second half when his team was dominant. Palmer kicked four in the first quarter and had five by half time but was starved of opportunities after that. The Cannons midfield took over from quarter time onwards and ran the Rebels off their legs. It was an even performance from the Cannons and that's been their strength in this competition over the years.

For those who venture down to Visy Park today there's the possible opportunity of catching a glimpse of the future when the Dandenong Stingrays take on the Western Jets. Jake Lovett, son of Brett Lovett, has been selected on the Stingrays' extended interchange bench so there's no guarantee that he'll be out there when the game starts at 11.30 this morning. Lovett has played just five TAC Cup games, the last on 12 July but was very impressive on debut.

I can't make it today but will try to update you with information if my spies live up to their promises of keeping me informed.

The update is that Jake Lovett is playing for the Stingrays. He's been out with a foot injury but made a successful comeback with his local side last week and was picked today as an interchange. He's a bottom ager which means he's not eligible to be drafted until next year.

Whisper, I've heard differing reports re Jake. What's your take on him?

The Dragons win by 9 points. From all accounts Angus Brayshaw was one of the best.

Others associated with Melbourne who did well were Tyler Roos (yes - son of Roosy) and Brayden Maynard.

Should be another good day of footy at Princess Park on Sunday, hopefully the sunny and light winds weather prediction holds and we can watch some really good footy.

2nd Semi Final

11:30am Sunday 7th September

Geelong Vs Dandenong

These 2 teams faced off just 2 weeks ago with Geelong running out winners by 10 goals, Patrick McCartin is set to miss which should slightly even the teams out but I believe Geelong has too much class and should beat out Dandenong. Jake Lovett has been named on the extended bench again for Dandenong and hopefully will play on the weekend.

1st Semi Final

2:15pm Sunday 7th September

North Ballarat Vs Sandringham

Sandringham have the edge with a very talented team and should account for North Ballarat this weekend, Angus Brayshaw has been named in the centre for the Dragons.

Great result for Dandy. Lonie is an interesting one for mine. I was trying to recall as to whether he was undersized. Time for a little homework.

Lonie was terrific today. Good pace and his skills off the deck were very sharp. He'd also be among the best kick's in this years crop. For three quarters he was automatic from inside fifty, slotting goals from all angles, both on the run and from set shots. Set shots were particularly impressive as there was a slightly tricky breeze out there today.

His field kicking is generally very good too, but that's not unusual for a Lonie.

Thought White was very good again for the Stingrays. Have seen Dandenong a couple of times this year and White and Lonie have been very good players for them every time. thought Capiron was solid today as well.

The Falcons were very disappointing, butchering the ball forward of centre. Probably had as much of, if not more of the ball today, but were just horrible with their ball use.

Goddard was quite good down back, but the service to him made it hard for him to impact the game when up forward. Think he has been good since the champs, but still hard to get a read on where he'll go. His failure to take control of any games would seem to have hurt his standing. Clearly has plenty of talent to work with though.

    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

    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.
