6. Hogan - He again beat a repeat AA backman. Took more than the three CM he's credited with and converted well.

5. Dawes - Didn't think I'd be mentioning him in the best any time soon, but he was really good today. Kicking was much better, he held his marks and kept us in it when we were being blown away.

4. Viney - Keeps up his good form, he was once again a beast.

3. Tyson - Probably his best game of the year. He got rid of the ball quicker, linked up and was a threat going forward.

2. Gawn - Was beaten, but fought it out well. Needs to get fitter still.

Struggling to find another to give the nod to. There are a bunch who had OKish but not great games who could fit in here.

1. Brayshaw - Didn't get enough ball, but give him credit for that great goal. I still think he needs a week off to recharge his batteries. His output has been way down the last month.

4. Viney - never stops trying.

3. Tyson - working back into it.

2. Cross - never shirks a contest!

1. M. Jones - again, who would've thought?

6. Jack Viney - In a game where Vince and N.Jones were by and large invisible, he was the heartbeat of the side in what us in terms of guts and determination an elite effort.

5. Jesse Hogan - Immense up forward

4. Chris Dawes - great game and execution of the role of the second string forward

3. Dom Tyson - a return to something near best form

2. Jeremy Howe - very tough beyond the top four but thought he played a sound game and took some terrific clutch defensive marks that were a big part of the comeback.

1. Daniel Cross -

6 Dawes. Got us back into the game when we looked like wed lose by a hundred.

5 Hogan. This kid is going to be an absolute jet of an AFL player, if he isnt already.

4 Tyson. Best game for the club this year. We needed it, because the rest of our mids stank.

3 Brayshaw. Our best home-grown midfielder in years.

2 Viney. Our second best home-grown midfielder in years. Bullock our midfield into action.

1 Vince. Way down on his usual form, but still played a vital midfield role.

Dishonourable mentions:

3 Garlett. Who knows what would have happened had he marked that simple chester.

2 Watts. Blew a lot of chances by being too cute.

1 Garland. Atrocious disposal.

6 Hoges - A constant presence and first time I can recall one of our blokes beating Scott Thompson for quite a while.

5 Viney - How tough was he. Half the time he had Ziebell on him and his disposal was really precise this week.

4 Dawes - How good was he early when we were struggling and then he had to go and cover for a tired Gawny

3 Tyson - Cleanest game for ages. Seemed to know when and where to release this week.

2 - Howe - Shocking early but had an amazing second quarter as third man up on Waite and also provided dash.

1 - T-Mac - Had to go back on to Brown when Dunn couldn't cope with him initially and later returned to Petrie, but provided run and presence from back.

My reasoning is that our midfield stank in the first and fourth, and got us into in the second and third. So they both cost us the game and nearly won it for us. Such is the midfield’s importance.

Matt Jones was very good today.

Neither M. Jones nor Mitchie were able to kick a goal from a set shot 20-30 metres out. If they were capable our first quarter would not have been so deplorable!

6 - Viney ( 4 excellent quarters )

5 - Hogan ( intelligent game and took marks at both ends )

4 - Tyson ( looked to be moving freer and disposal was effective for the most part )

3 - Dawes ( his bad is rotten, but today he had a positive impact)

2 - Gawn ( didn't break even but wasn't disgraced by the best in the league )

1 - M. Jones ( far from pretty to watch but he provided some good run)

6.Dawes - one of our leaders who really stood up today and was great with his leads, pressure and could easily have grabbed 5

5.Hogan - as above and for the love of god just get the 10-12 year deal done just like was done for Alistair Lynch, he is the one we have been waiting for

4.Viney - continued his impressive form, and was our best mid who helped turn the game

3.Tyson - assisted Viney greatly and showed what he can do, please god a unninterupted preseason beckons for him

2.Howe - was our best defender IMO played the intercept role and set up rebound from half back

1.Gawn - improving all year and was good against the leagues No 1 ruckman

Clearly our best players were Hogan and Viney ...We were second to the ball in the first quarter until Viney must have been given a different roll on the second quarter because he changed the momentum in the middle on his own IMO, Hogan was simply dynamic, worked hard and is the complete package...how good are his passes to players inside 50..

6-VINEY

5-HOGAN

4-DAWES

3-Tyson

2-Cross

1-Gawn

6. Hogan (A powerhouse from half back to full forward)

5. Dawes ( His best game and against a good side)

4. Tyson (Showed his class again and was consistent in the midfield)

3. Viney ( A prime mover in getting us back into the game)

2. Howe ( a couple of courageous marks and good defensive efforts. Must keep)

1. Cross ( Always reliable)

Honourable mention to M.Jones. Took his chance and probably saved his bacon.

I have memories of how good he was at the start of the year so when he isnt keeping an opposition to 0 goals and having 25 himself his name just doesnt come up. He played a really good game and he is so smart. Watching him peel off to read the flight and help out his fellow backs is great. I was scared a couple of years back about loosing Frawley then Gardland, but now with the hopeful return of frost I'm feeling happy about it.

    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
