N.Jones -.was surprisingly selfish

Dunn - excellent despite pressure

Hogan - had limited opportunities

Watts - appeared relatively disconnected

Dawes - tried but failed

Viney - better second half

Lumumba - erratic and frustrating

Brayshaw - needs a rest

Gawn - failed to inspire

Cross - was shown up

Garland - just a game

Michie - lacked the smarts

Vince - couldn't carry team

McDonald - easily our best

Neal-Bullen - was lacking finesse

Grimes - effective when subbed

Garlett - far too spasmodic

Howe - had limited interest

Jetta - loose before injury

Bail - lacked basic skills

M.Jones - tried but limited

Harmes - had a dip

Put N Jones, Bail, ANB, Mitchie, Harmes and Brayshaw (he looks knackered) in the Hawks team and I bet they will drop off a heap - reality!!!!List wise we are a mile behind the bulldogs at the moment. Over the last few years they have scored big time with the draft and father/son. Our guys are young and hopefully will develop ok. The work Macca did at the bulldogs is underrated and hopefully he can help develop the kids to play at a high level.

Probably should make a play for FA Stanton to shore up the midfield and give the young mids a bit more time to develop - will also allow us to use our 1st rounder in the draft.

Getting hold of an experienced mid was really highlighted yesterday.

Don't do it man, life's too short.

My TV must have voice command, It switched to a channel showing lewd acts. The more I shouted the the more lewd it became. I think it has spent the day fornicating with the Foxtel iQ

Sure, voice command. Is that the excuse you told the missus when she caught you doing a BBO.

Careful DiitD, I have been told that mutually consenting adults can play trains and use leather goods at the same time.

Edit:-fix typo - mutually contenting adults - can't believe I typed that.

Garlett comment if true very uncharacteristic. Jeffy has put immense pressure on defenders with his chasing, pace and tackling all season. A lot disagree with you over Watts. He played very well.

Garlett returned to old habits at Carlton. He looked defeated and I don't feel like he wanted to be there. Like many others.

Watts' game was solid, not bad, not good. Colossal brain fades leading directly to goals for them should be past him now. He is better than that. "Just another game".

    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
