GAME DAY - Round 15



Recommended Posts

Hogan 2 shockers in a row. Isn't getting near it.

Disappointing efforts by the forwards. Really poor.

If we want to win we need aggression.

The mids need to take advantage of Gawn

Our forwards need to lift big time - Hogan, Dawes, Garrett, Watts (we need some people to step up and kick some goals)

Sure they haven't been flash, but our delivery (even on a [censored] day like today) could be sooooo much better.

That and manning up their loose players' for a change.

Garlett hasn't had much of the ball, but i love that he's had 7 tackles. Trying to influence the game when not in possession.

He, Brayshaw and Viney seem to be the only ones who actually know how to tackle

So many wasted entries. If we tidy that up we'll be on the way to a win.

Hogan needs to get his hands on the ball. He's having a shocker.

The umpires aren't the worse thing about this match.

far from it

Worst thing is Ess ease at marking across half back..

Bombers lack confidence. Our forward delivery is rushed and shocking. Should be a 5 goal win. Our forwards are actually putting on a lot of pressure but it's really congested.

This will end up an inverse of last year's result. Essendon dominate everything except the scoreboard but end up losing by a point.

This year it's our turn.

Sometimes you're a windscreen. Sometimes you're an insect. Gotta do as much damage while you're windscreen.

Has to get a possession first.

Has 3 so far. What's JKH done?...........Oh that's right.

Would love to have him on at the moment though, another small crumbing the inevitable ground ball in our forward line.

Maybe a little too soon, but would anyone else be tempted to sub Hogan now and bring on JKH??? Bold and risky move, probably too much so for Roos.

The only thing I'm worried about is that we have a happy knack of helping teams regain confidence.

Worried what impact last week's Darwin heat and humidity will have our ability to run this one out.

Bombers are a player down. We have been flat all day and should run over them. We rested in the last quarter last week anyway so we should be fine :P

Both teams have a disposal efficiency below 50%?

This could be one of those feedback loops that breaks computers.

"We are more likely to get it if an opponent is kicking it... therefore it makes sense to kick it to one of them whenever we can".

Maybe the players should be instructed to actively target the other team, because that way it will end up with us more...

Ugh.

    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
