6 - Hogan - it's scary to think where we would be without him.

5 - Cross - backline general. Just professional yet again.

4 - Gawn - dominated in the ruck. Need him to kick straight (or bent on the snaps).

3 - Viney - poor rockcliff

2 - vanDenburg - would have we beat St K with him?

1 - Howe - best game for the year. Should get more votes but still hurting for on the first 14 games.

6. Gawn: He's starting to look at home in #11

5. Cross: Playing like he wants another go around in 2016.

4. Howe: His best game of the season by a long shot.

3. Hogan: His first quarter won us the game.

2. Dawes: I've been one of his biggest critics for a long time, but he was very good today.

1. Jetta: Great attack on the man and the ball, as usual.

6 - Jesse Hogan - in a low scoring game he kicked 4.1 and took 11 marks with 16 touches. Beast.

5 - Jack Viney - gave Rockliff a football lesson. Hes going to give the Bluey a fair shake. He has arrived.

4 - Max Gawn - gave the mids first use and kept us in it in the 3rd quarter with great pressure. Shame he had that poster, deserved a goal

3 - Jeremy Howe - best game of the season by a mile.. used his aerial strength to impact the game. Must do that every week

2 - Daniel Cross - the old warhorse never stops, racked up touches and constantly up thrusts from the backline

1 - Chris Dawes - like Howe, his best game of the season by far. Started like a house on fire when the game was won.

6 - Viney (negated their best player while getting plenty of useful touches himself)

5 - Hogan (matchwinner)

4 - Cross (Good game culminating in him selling the candy at full back. Never thought I'd see the day)

3 - Gawn (overhead marking a feature)

2 - Howe (looks better in defence)

1 - Jetta (decision making and contesting excellent)

6 - Hogan: His 4 goals won us the game. Outstanding for a young KPF in his first season.
5 - Cross: Just pipped by Hogan for top votes imo. Leadership and courage personified!

4 - Gawn: His contested marking and 'one percenters' typify how he's improving as a player.
3 - Howe: Best game for the year (luckily Roos played him to preserve his trade value)
2 - Jetta: Back to his hard / reliable best.

1 - Garland: Good dedenders' game. Marked (or mostly) spoiled everything in his area.

6.Cross - chopped off and set up love what he brings and think he can go again and will be teaching our boys what playing AFL is about

5.Hogan - bounced back after 2 down weeks and dominated as a key forward, works hard and delivered on the scoreboard

4.Gawn - Improving every week and was the best ruckman on the ground against two guys who have been in decent form of late

3.Viney - really really good year and just always gives 100% at every contest, would hate to play against him, future captain just leads and hasn't hit 50games yet

2.Howe - composed with his ball use and used his aerial talent to advantage, played as he should no keep it up

1.Dawes - worked solidly presented as a target freeing Hogan up applied pressure to opponents forcing mistakes, workrate and pressure of this sort has a massive impact on Hogans ability to influence a game

Unlucky Jetta & Vanders

6- Gawn ( excellent tap work and strong marking )

5 - Dunn ( composed and safe all game )

4 - Hogan ( 4 goals and involvement around the ground)

3- Howe ( actually made some second efforts and was a great springboard from attack)

2- Cross ( would have scored more but for the continued butchering of disposals)

1 - Jetta ( made some important interceptions and tackled superbly)

    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.
