Garlet comment is ridicules.

Dunn - excellent but overwhelmed... WTF Dunn was pathetic. Gave away stupid free kicks and 50m penalty. He is lucky Kennedy didn't kick straight.

Garlett's urgency and willingness to chase, harass and tackle any opposition player was nothing short of phenomenal tonight. It directly resulted in goals and scoring shots for us and he kicked 1.2 with our ball movement going inside forward 50 being terrible again. He had 10 tackles. 10!

It's [censored] tiresome reading assessments like these when they can be so wrong. It's not a matter of opinion.

You're either blind or you have no idea.

He was pretty much our best player.

Neal-Bullen- get more ball

He knows where to run to score goals, now needs to work on getting to more contests and getting more possies. Looks promising, like a Grimes but more skilful.

Stretch was solid too i thought.

And Dawes knows how to run into him when he does so.

I didn't watch the game so I can't comment on any players. Based on the end result it looks like we were beaten in most parts of the ground.

A 10 goal belting should force 3 changes.

Mind made up!

Now I'm going to go out on a limb here picket fence. It is based, however, on the 250 posts you have made on the topic. You don't rate Jimmy Toumpas. Just to reiterate, you do not rate Jimmy Toumpas. You are not a fan of the Toump. You've said it before and you'll say it again, the Toump must go. Get him out of the club. Cannot play. Kaputski. Am I right?

i'm struggling to understand what you are saying here rtg, but i think from the general gist of it, yeah, possibly, sort-of, in a manner of saying you're perhaps on the money

Pathetic isn't it the way people like RTG just beat about the bush and don't say anything definite :-))

He's been doing it most of the year, too.

Wonderful pick up for this club. Love his work.

Both bail and jones dropped chest marks in front of goal which I cant forgive

Garletts goal assists butchered pearls before swine

Beautiful ball delivery to leading forwsrds by wc - cut our defence some slack for that and our fwds would kick twice the goals with similar delivery

Stretch and anb impressed for young light players

If you could keep a tally of free kicks not paid to Melbourne players that would be helpful. Also an analysis of which of those non-frees were followed by a WC goal. You know, if you're offering... :rolleyes:

    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

    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.
