Anyone still think we got screwed on Howe? We plugged pick 29 directly in to a trade we were going to use Howe in. That was his market value. Anyone also still care that we used 25 instead of 29 for

you can almost include Petracca in this draft lot,

Petracca and Oliver = Engine room for the next 10 years

Hogan and Weiderman = key forwards for the next 10 years

just to reiterate the obvious:

next year's inclusions to the side are Melksham, Kennedy, Bugg, Oliver, Weideman, Petracca and Trengove

not too shabby

seriously, how good is this midfield group?

According to Sam landsberger, "Essendon stole the show with seven shrewd selections", please let this be another wines/toumpas fiasco... Also they hardly stole the show, a lightly framed mid who displays no exceptional speed, endurance or skill and a utility whom most are unsure as to where he will play at afl level. If anything I think Brisbane had a great draft. Notwithstanding getting Schache - the tall toward they desperately needed - securing academy players Eric Hipwood and then Ben Keays (who i think will be a gun) the latter much later than predicted allowing them to swoop on Rhys Mathieson with pick 39 (painfully close to our 3rd pick), allowed them to adress their needs whilst avoiding any strong go home factorr, all in all a great draft for the lions.

I assume he's just another essendrugs supporter, so what's the point, just another garbage journalist spewing out biased cr*p. I'm surprised he didn't take a pot at melbourne whilst he was at it, then he'd have all bases covered.

Something that is bugging me and is hardly related to the MFC but really gets me is why the hell SOS is rated so highly as a recruiter! he's screwed up so many more picks than he's gotten right.

2012 he grabbed...1: Whitfield ( looks good but obvious choice )

2:O'rourke ( gone to hawks after showing little )

3: Plowman ( gone to blues after showing little )

12: Jacksh ( gone to blues after showing little )

14: Corr ( looks okay, but not standing out )

2013 1. Boyd ( gone to dogs after showing little )

2. Kelly ( looks a player but obvious pick 2 )

14: McCarthey ( good but wants out already )

2014 4. Picket ( eh, did he even play? )

6. Marchbank ( looks okay )

7. Ahern ( meh )

11 selections inside the top 14 in 3 years and imo 2 players that look like long term giants is a Melbourne-like result.

hope his strike rate is better at the blues, for their sake.

    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.
