Changes for Round 3

I just hope Brayshaw gets a starting spot, really like his pressure, disposal and unaffected psyche.

Of course you do. On Demonland, the less games you have played the more of a superstar you are. If he follows suit, by the time he reaches 50 games he will have been involved in a lot of failures and pathetic losses and be held with the same contempt that most of his 'senior' teammates are.

CaB another fine entry into the most negative post competition. You seem to excel at sucking the energy out of a thread.

Out Dawes.

Frost to backline - Howe forward

In Toumpas.

Come on Dees, we can beat Adelaide.

Kent was good in the first and so were MFC ..so he stays.

Dawes has been dropping marks since he was a Pie,its not going to change,he's big and runs around ..has to stay

JKH should never have been dropped from a slow team...he's in

Howe has promised for.... how many seasons now(?) and he's still a highlight reel when he can be bothered...OUT

One change assuming no injuries....but maybe Pederson for Frost(?)

Give them a chance and make the two's earn their spot.

Watts sweeps behind the ball

You are a dead set mate..

Thought you would have learnt from round 1 when Brayshaw was very impressive first up.

Time and time again you are made to look like a silly old fool with such absurd comments.

you will be the first one to knife him in the back when he has a bad one and we lose

then you will focus on 2016 debutants and their superstar qualities, and how all our bad development is a thing of the past

less backbone than a snake you've got

Kent missed a couple of easy, set shots.....would have put us 40 odd points up.

In stronger teams, he'd get dropped for that.

yep but MFC isnt a stronger side ...he got it six times or thereabouts up forward in the first quarter. Teaching him to kick is easier than teaching Dawes to mark I reckon

Actually I remember them as "should gets" not "easy"

Out, Newton, not up to it.

Cross, time has past him by, slow and kicks floaters.

Dawes, Greasy hands, not good enough.

In. Tackles McKenzie, an upgrade on whatever Cross does.

Pedersen, showed signs of life last year unlike Dawes.

Bail, an upgrade on Newton.

Fallen for the old trap recruiting fringe players from other clubs, Vince, Newton, Cross and Dawes, we outsmarted nobody as usual.

We knew that they could play and their clubs didn't, beyond belief.

Agree....hence he'll stay.

Brad Scott said that Linday Thomas would be dropped if he missed 'should gets...'

It would great to have that depth one day.....

Agree on the tackling, we nead at least another 2 or 3 tackling players in this side, don't care who goes in or out just give me 20-25 tackles per Q everything else will fall into place.

No thats why to this day i still stick by Toumpas. I rarely knife the young kids as i wait till they atleast clock up 50 to 80 games before i can properly judge them. I see the glimpse in them and give them chances.

Its senior players like Dawes and Frawley in the past that [censored] me up the wall.

Dawes stays, we got two goals as a result of direct contests where he outmuscled his opponent. He is also needed to take Talia and at every opportunity pull him away from the forward 50

Frost for JKH to get better run

Kent is on thin ice in my book, aid many times he doesn't work hard enough when he doesn't have it (although that was the whole side for the second half)

If Vince isn't 80% he doesn't play for me, Michie or Toumpas in for him

Out:Frost & Vince if not fit

In: JKH & Michie

Brayshaw to start and Kent to the pine

I reckon Perderson and Hogan is a really dangerous forward line. Remember [Pedersen]'s game against Port? Boy...I hope he comes in...

I actually would like to see this at some stage.

Yes BB he is the one, was full of running early but along with others he dropped off dramatically. I mean that sincerely he was feeling the pinch and on what I have seen Dean doesn't have the ability to did deep and keep going, second efforts are not high on his list. I am not just making this accusation based on Saturday alone

Said it many times he can be anything but his workrate IMO is what is holding him back

Think Talia will go straight to Hogan 'Pennant'

If Frost goes out who takes the 2nd ruck duties? can't be Dawes, he's not a ruck's .....

I don't get the Kent love from some, he has a bit too much Col about him at the moment. As well as work rate, his set shot kicking is poor and I'm not sure about his footy smarts.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
