6 - Jack VIney - absolutely smashed Joel Selwood to pieces. Smashed I say.

5 - Max Gawn - best game by an MFC ruckman since Jeff Whites last great game

4 - Bernie Vince - he may make the AA team, was a dominant performance again. Did it all.

3 - Nathan Jones - a typical Jones performance, total warhorse.

2 - Lynden Dunn - the perfect week for a return to form, dominant down back

1 - Angus Brayshaw - everything he touches turns to gold, he was so important

Apologies to all 16 other players in the 22

Some really stiff players this week, particularly Garlett who looked really dangerous, but I thought our best 6 were clear. Had a really hard time ordering them though.

Not a single passenger this week. Every player did their job.

Gods, I can't stop grinning. Watching the replay and swallowing all the post match media simultaneously.

As good as Bernie was, I don't think we've seen a more influential game from a Dee ruckman since Jimmy in his prime.

And Gawny even hurt a few in the tackles.

Honourable mentions to Matt Jones (best game he's played), Jeffy, Jack Watts and our two SA teens.

Unbelievable.

Geez, nominations were tough this week, for all the right reasons. Just an outstanding team effort, and many potential nominees miss out because 22 doesn't divide very easily into six.

6. Bernie Vince - Outstanding all day. Oozes class, and you can see that he loves playing for the Dees.

5. Max Gawn - Sensational four quarters, both in the middle, around the ground and as a forward target. Who would have thunk it?

4. Jack Viney - Manic at the ball and man. Ripped Sellwood apart!

3. Nathan Jones - Another top game from the Skipper. Tough as nails. Willed himself to every contest, and won most of them.

2. Gus Brayshaw - Forget about the NAB Rising Star ... he has arrived already!

1. Lynden Dunn - Back to his best, which is very good. Comfortably overcame Hawkins' size and strength advantages, and rebounded to advantage all day.

Well done boys .... you've done yourselves proud!!

I was hoping for more entries after that big, big, win but the quality was there. Thank you.

Tom Mac's big lead is under attack and Jesse Hogan's week off saw him drop from second to fourth. I sense an exciting finish for once ... here is the progressive situation as we speak ...

Of the first 14 in this leaderboard, I count 8 that either weren't at the club or were too young to make be making much of an impact ('pre-breakout') in season 2014.. that's just quality recruiting, drafting and development that has bumped us up another step this year. Do it again for the third time in 2016 please Roosy

First time in a long time i can recall having trouble "fitting" players in

6. Dunny - Most epic i've seen on one of the league's best forwards away from home. Ran off as well for 15 rebounds! Is that a record for the MFC of some sort i wonder? Also had majority of i50s & time in forward half to contend with...The ROCK!

5. Mr. Vince - Lowers his eyes more often and we have our own Pendles with grunt! Needs to stop Moloneying the ball so often!

4. Big Max - first half was stellar!

3. Gus - absolute class and great positioning/tackling and 2nd efforts all day

2. Viney - The Mauler at his best.

1. H - For providing the run and taking the game on early (showing the way to turn def into attack ...quickly!) and getting to so many contests both in defence and up the field

Apologies to Jones boy, Garlett, Howe (2 clutch goals, one at end of 3rd and the other beginning of 4th!), ANB for an amazing 2nd up game, Tyson (a bit one paced but some great body positioning around stoppages/handballs), Watts (reading the play/field kicking and being up and about....still needs to comitt harder at times IMO), Dawes & M Jones (great work on and off Enright!)

    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.

    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
