6 - McDonald ( versatile performance and no coincidence we lifted when he went on ball )

5 - Vince ( far from his best but at least he racked up possessions )

4 - Viney ( lost in the first half mire , but redeemed in the second)

3 - Harmes ( still very rough but his endeavour couldn't be faulted)

2 - Dunn ( held up well despite the onslaught and wasn't embarrassed)

1 - Hogan ( for 3 goals , little else)

6 - McDonald - one of a few bright sparks yesterday. Poor guy got burnt by his teammates in the back 50 but stood up strongly.

5 - Watts - first 3 quarters were great and 2 important contested marks. If his team mates moved and lead when he had the ball (looking at you Bail) we wouldn't have the silly turn overs

4 - Hogan - how did he get 3 goals? Seriously with our delivery!

3 - Viney - strong second half to help get us some respectability

2 - Harmes - 9 tackles. Some disposal error but 9 tackles

1 - Grimes - 2 good quarters of football where he just controlled the football. Was going to give to Michie who played a solid second half but Grimes was switched on from minute one.

6. McDonald (Dominant, back to his best despite some errors)

4. Watts (Played well despite errors)

3. NJones (Down on form at times but still in the top)

6 Viney (When umpires realise that a player will bend down to pick up the ball and is not 'ducking', Viney will get 4 more kicks every outing)

5 McDonald (5 costly turnovers in the first 45 minutes but didn't drop his bundle and worked back into the contest in a different role)

4 Watts (our best in first half when all else was diabolical)

3 Hogan (3 goals from limited entry)

2 Harmes (Takes the game on... a lot in common with S Tingay at the same stage)

1 N Jones (kept trying to lift lazy, bamboozled mates with limited success)

6 McDonald (After a couple of early howlers he just kept taking game on. Move to ruck was smart tactic)

5 Viney (Kept at it as he always does)

Hard from here and plenty of psuedo-worthy candidates.

4 Dunn (not smashed by Redpath)

3 N.Jones (was classy when he got it, but getting it wasn't easy)

2 Watts (looks better in air these days)

1 Garlett (probably unfair on Harmes, but both applied pressure - Jeffy just a bit classier).

I left half way through last quarter (considered leaving halfway through the first) but here it goes

6. Viney (shows more heart and endeavour than the rest of team put together)

5. Hogan (keeps presenting and crashing packs)

4. Dunn (composed and the Torps)

3. McDonald ( defensive errors but also many saves)

2. Watts (if only he can stop those 2-4 most ridiculous errors)

1. Garland ( pick from a hat)

    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
