6 - Vince - great game on Danger (and others) really hard at it

5 - Tommy Mac - held Walker to the most influence-less 3 goal game I've seen

4 - Harry - some great running to keep us in it

3 - Jones - great in and under when he was targeted

2 - Tyson - working really hard as the game continued

1 - Hogan - we'd be screwed without him

Special mention to Garlett. I couldnt give you votes with 2.4 - sorry buddy

5 - Vince - aggressive and dynamic

4 - Lamumba - always at contest and prolific all day

3 - Jones - brilliant in and under

2 - Cross - loved his courage and energy

1 - Jamar - intelligent tap work and at least broke even against all odds

6. Tom McDonald - continued his rise (Walker was gifted his goals).

5. Bernie Vince - outstanding discipline, aggression and effort (especially given zilch pre-season).

4. 'H' Lumumba - prolific ball winner and used it well in the conditions.

3. Nev Jetta - again had Betts measure

2. Nathan Jones - another 'heart & soul' game under duress.

1. Col Garland - disciplined and approaching form of a few years ago.

6 - TMac. He's a beast. Thrashed the form forward of the competition. Walker's three goals make him look better than he was.

5 - Vince. Took on Dangermouse in the middle and didn't just beat him, he bullied him.

4 - Garland. Was solid all day. Took Dangermouse when they moved him forward and kept him from doing any harm.

3 - Jetta. Kept Betts under control. Could easily be ahead of Garland.

2 - Lamumba. Won heaps of the ball, chipped in in defence, kept going all game.

1 - Jones. The usual for Jones. He was hard at it, always involved, won his own ball and probably should have had a bunch more frees given how often they hit him in the head.

Five free kicks against him suggests he wasn't as disciplined as he could have been.

Fair point but different context. I was referring to the discipline Bernie showed in curbing Dangerfield's influence for 98% of the match.

6. Tom McDonald - BOG for third consecutive week now. Loved how frustrated Walker was looking by the end. Form defender of the competition at present.

5. Bernie Vince - said in the post match interview with Burgs that he was "just having a bit of fun". Hope he has a bit of fun every week then, as I can't recall him ever playing with such intent in MFC colours (or maybe I just have a short memory).

4. Heritier Lumumba

3. Jesse Hogan

2. Nathan Jones

6 - Bernie Vince - already bleeds for the jumper and has barely played 20 games for the club. Smashed that actor Dangerfield.

5 - Tom McDonald - would be AA after 3 rounds

4 - Heritier Lumumba - plenty of the ball and lots of drive. Think he will be primed for the G on Friday night

3 - Nathan Jones - a nice response to last weeks quiet game, led from the front, got plenty of touches and kicked a goal

2 - Jesse Hogan - in just his third game already providing a massive presence and kicking goals. Straightened us up again today

1 - Neville Jetta - smashed Eddie Betts once again

    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

    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
