""That's not toughness, if you want toughness watch what David did today.

"That's why I think our team won the game in the end because we had guys who were prepared to do that."

Whatever mate, pretty sure you won because Melbourne didn't bring their kicking boots. Not to mention some dodgy hometown umpiring.

He should be more gracious in victory.

They are actually pretty pissweak comments.

You won because you were a more mature and composed side.

I've always admired Dangerfield and still do but thought his acting today was embarrassing; the sort of stuff you see on the soccer field. I'm not surprised the umpires basically ignored him.

Umpires absolutely deplorable. Was a great effort for us to not pull up stumps and walk off the field. What a joke. Good game today, I am proud of this side. Brayshaw is god.

Don't understand the hate on Dawes. Bloke had a dislocated finger and looked like the English Patient for most of the second half, and the moment Frost was injured he was asked to do some rucking aro

Right. Paul Roos could equally say we lost simply because we didn't convert our opportunities. To talk about one team's "hardness" being the reason they won is pretty disingenuous in a hard-fought game in the wet.

And to say that Bernie Vince's treatment of Patrick Dangerfield would have resulted in Vince "going off in a stretcher" in the "bad old days" is basically saying "tough footy would be met with assault if it were up to me." Flogga!

And also, I am a big fan of Dangerfield, but I am getting sick of the throw the head back playing for a free kick manoeuvre.

Both need to be addressed if they continue to be an issue. I would not after 3 games change the way a key forward has kicked for most of his life. Its a watch point nothing more.

Red if you think Hogan's set shot action is ok and can be addressed later you should be following Hawthorn. They can wait, we need goals, now.

Staggering to see people put Watts and Dawes in the same category today. Get passed the contract Dawes is supposedly on. He was no where near our worst today. Watts was terrible and bereft of confidence and effort. JKH, Kent, Newton and VanB all went missing for long periods.

Mistakes still hurt us so much. Hogan and Jeff must learn to capitalise and the absolute clanger kicks and loopy hand passes in the backline are so frustrating.

Hogan still has so much upside though, and Brayshaw is going to be a pleasure to watch in the coming 10+ years. The way he dragged Jones away from the 3 quarter time fraca once it had passed its usefullness was wonderful level headed leadership, from a third gamer.

Wattsy won't get confidence, if he keeps avoiding contests & contact, as he does. he needs to go in where angels fear; to find out the truth, for his sake, & for the teams, & ours as well.

It aint that hard to go in, you either come out well, or embarrassed, but you do come out.

but if you refuse to go in, you will Never Ever know. & you mark your own papers imo.

Poor kicking by both Hogan and Garlett. Hogan's stuttering run up has to be sorted out. It is all over the place. He is very good in all other aspects of the game and will only get better.

Loved the game Vince played and Tmac is a beauty.

Brayshaw is excellent fo a 3 gamer and I would like to see him given a start next week.

If Frost does not come up bring in Pedo. Would like to see Watts dropped. His efforts and bricks for hands attempts at marking need to be punished. Get him out of the limelight a bit and give him a run at Casey for a couple.

Players need to take the first option the way they seemed to do in the first quarter. After that they looked to be overthinking it, taking a step too far and not talking.

Finally, the umps were bad all day and we were on the rough end of the stick. How can Kent be punished for jumping over the top for a mark and Danger not be for doing the same thing with less of an attempt to mark?

[censored] Dawes off and bring in Pedo now!

Watts was not the difference but did allow the crows some momentum... Bottom line the gap between his worst & best is too big

So Hoges you still a supporter of Jackie Boy?

I didn't think Dawes was too bad today, quite often he was against two and at times three and not once was out marked.

Yes he needed to do a little more, but I thought he was far from our worst.

A little more ? What are you using? Did you watch his idiot? No woder Pied got rid of him another pretender

Agree on the Dawes issue.

His job is to attract a crowd and bring it to ground.Also to take the 2nd backman.

does this consistantly and earns his bit.

Please tell me why he is always out numbered and if he is why do we kick it to him if he is? It is cringeworthy to watch.

Don't get why each week people call for 4-5 change. Roos has never been one to make hostile changes... Wouldn't be suprised if it's Frost out injured for either a tall in Pedersen or they go for another runner in michie/grimes

Hopefully a player will put their hand up by having an awesome game for Casey tomorrow.

Be nice to see a meritocracy restored at the MFC...

Just watching North vs port and wow Goldstein is exactly what a ruckman should be. His follow up tackles and lots of possessions etc.. Unfortunantly jamar is the best tap ruckman we have and the others don't get enough of it around the ground to justify their inclusion :(.

    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
