Very surprised that some left Jones out of the top six players. He was absolutely superb - his attack on the ball was on another level and I thought he was the one who set the tone in the last quarte

He must of been reading Demonland...a few of us called for him to be moved back last year. ...but seriously it was a good move to bring him in against Boyd otherwise Dunn would have been outsized aga

Actually, the bigger shock is that I actually noticed. I'm not usually one who identifies match-ups. But Bail stopped Johanisen (I'm not sure if I've spelled that right, but Nasher can fix it with squ

6 votes - VandenBurg: was the inner cog of our midfield,
5 votes - N.Jones: put the psi to 32 when we needed it, let the air down to 30, then back up to 32
4 votes - Vince: Not only did his job, he put the icing on the cake.
3 votes - Spencil: won the ruck, 8 tackles and i stopped cringing when he went to kick... thought i had permanent damage.
2 votes - Hogan Standard Jesse
1 vote - Toumpas just kept up the hard work, regardless of confidence

I had trouble with the last vote. I want to give a vote to someone in the defense, but i cant decide who. I will have to rewatch

6. Vandenberg - Cracking game.

5. Fitzpatrick- Solid first game in defence, took some good grabs.

4. Hogan- Give the kid a rising star nomination!

3. Pedersen- Dawes should not be allowed back in team until he can clunk marks like Pedo!

2. Vince- the difference in the last quarter.

1. Toumpas - Hopi this s step forward to bigger things for the Toump!

Please don't forget the Jones rule folks - there were two of them out there.

Surely, sir, ye jesteth. Only one Jones in the running though couldn't fit him in my votes - note, from watching on TV. Sadly couldn't get there.

vandenBerg

Pedersen

Vince

Spencer

Hogan

Brayshaw

And apologies to most of the remainder NB Fitz Toump (both their best games at MFC) Watts Grimes Tommy McD (first time out of the top 6 I would say)

6 - vandenBerg - so dynamic and aggressive

5 - Spencer - was confident and handled the ball accordingly

4 - Fitzpatrick - amazing turnaround in performance and a master stroke by Roos to play him in defence

3 - Hogan - just gives everyone confidence when he's near the ball

2 - Pedersen - grunt work and marking ability

1 - N.Jones - apart from 1 brain fade he was close to his usual dynamic self

At quarter time we remarked how off his game Vince was. He must have heard us because he then proceeded to tear it apart for the rest of the game.

    SISTER ACT by Meggs

    In the twilight at Frankston Oval, for the first ever match between Melbourne and Hawthorn, the Demons were clinical winning by 59 points and remain undefeated in Season Eight.   The Melbourne team ran out to a wonderful #DeeArmy banner paying tribute to Ron Barassi, ‘a football legend, the greatest Demon’.     So true!   Meggs was super excited to see Irish recruit Aimee Mackin playing her first game.  Aimee quickly showed us that she belongs out there with composure, ga

    ON SONG by Meggs

    Meggs asks is it time to heave ho the melodies and words of yesteryear and update Club theme songs with some Australian composers and singers?     What prompted this reflection was the discovery that this week’s combatants’ themes were written by the same early 20th century American composer, George M. Cohan.     Cohan’s melodies The Yankee Doodle Boy and You’re a Grand Old Flag have been used by Hawthorn since 1956 and Melbourne since 1912.   Even earlier, the clu

    RUN UNBEATEN by Meggs

    The Demons withstood a spirited challenge from the Western Bulldogs in the 10th anniversary of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup to run away with it in the last quarter and take their unbeaten run to 12 wins on the trot, an AFLW record.   The Doggies were tenacious and their losing score of 6.5.41 was the highest score against Melbourne since their last loss against Brisbane in Round 4 on 18 September 2022.   With the sad passing of AFL football legend Ronald Dale Barassi, champion player

    LEARNINGS OR BURNINGS by GOTO

    Well, the 2023 season is over for the Demons after a two point loss to the Blues in the First Semi Final. All season WE have been hearing about the “learnings” that the team needed to make after each loss, but how much have we actually learnt when they:   1. Lost four successive finals at our own home ground;   2. Fell in five of their last six losses despite having more shots at goal and in the sixth, they had an equal number of shots;   3. Lost seven games by under two

    LOST DOGS by Meggs

    The Western Bulldogs and the Demons have history. Prior to the creation of the AFLW league, the AFL ran four years of exhibition matches featuring our two teams between 2013 and 2016. The winner holds the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, in honour of two women who were founders of the national women’s football competition. After 13 games the Demons hold nine wins, four losses record and currently hold the Cup after trouncing the Dogs last year by 64 points. The exhibition games were a precursor t
