Vanders, Newton and Frost should play Round 1. Grimes, Bail and M Jones should not.

Salem is coming along nicely and Kent is poised for a big year.

Just about right for more time in the midfield 'P-man', looks like he had the goods on the few times he went there tonight.

Right with Newton, Frost and Vanders (the surprise packet). 'H' and Jeffy good pickups...

We will be better, the question is how much better.

Surprised we won that quarter considering we took Toumpas over Wines.

Mate. Let's keep expectations realistic. We should be aiming for 6-8 coin toss victories this season.

He struggled, didn't he....I'm prepared to give him one preseason game.

He just screams mediocrity to me - when we had a thin list he was good enough to show a bit, fill a gap and bring some experience with him. But if we want to climb the ladder he isn't the sort of player we need in our side in any way, shape or form. Handy depth player at best.

First of all let me say i was gobsmacked when guys who have over 100 games experience are making the most basic simple skill errors!

Mark Jamar, Chris Dawes, Jack Grimes and Colin Garland were just atrocious with their skill level.

I cannot believe how far back Jack Grimes has gone.. I use to be his biggest fan but he is just so bad with his disposal skill. Will lucky to play 10 games this year. Casey is looming for him.

Jamar ffs you just have to kick those..! Dont rate Dawes and never have.

Positives is the likes of Hogan, Newton, Tyson, Toumpas, Kent, Michie, Frost, Vandenberg showing the way with glimpse and just need more games into them.

Lumumba and Nathan Jones were best on for us and i thought Garlett gave us a real spark when he moved into the midfield.

There were alot of positives but these guys who are ment to be leading the way were way below par.

Mixed feelings about the game.Still a few players not up to AFL standard.Being early days I hope to see the negatives minimized and the positives enhanced into a cohesive unit.

N Jones had a pretty easy 22 disposals, looked like he was going at about 70% to me, set for a massive year.

Actually went at 60.9% :)

Disposal Efficiency anway....

Love his work ethic and indeed looks set to lead from the front... Like Hogan! :)

Vandenberg is a unit. Felt like a real noob when he came on and I went, "uhh, who's the tall in 37?". Not sure if it was just the TV effect, but he looks big.

I tried to buy rpfc's softly softly approach, but he looked like he belonged out there to me.

Garland had a bad game.

I don't agree. There were worse out there tonight! Newton is an inspired trade!

A couple of lazy decisions and poor disposals resulted in easy goals to Freo, sometimes he makes it look so easy for the opposition.

Matt Jones is complete tripe. Jumping on blokes backs when they on the ground. Fumbling. Stumbling the ball out of his own team mates hands. Butchering the footy and [censored] weak at the contest. He has to go. I don't care how weak we are in the outside mids we will just have to play more youngsters and half forwards and rotate them through the wing.

Grimes is also playing for his career. If he saves it, it's probably because Garland is just as bad. And Lynden Dunn wasn't given the vice captaincy to keep missing targets and offer little as a defender.

Thankfully the new and younger guys showed a bit and we can roll on with them instead of the same old same old from more experience types who have learned nothing.

    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.
