webmaster / mods ---- 'dislike' / thumbs down button desperately needed

It might defuse some of the bickering since it doesn't give the poster of the 'disliked' post any words which he feels obliged to rebut.

You know you have lost the argument when you use DE stats ha ha

Not always. According to the stats on effective rebuttal, 73.8% of statistics offered as proof in support of a particular point of view may or may not be effective. This means that only 26.2% are either totally effective or totally ineffective. I'm not sure what this means in terms of effective disposal but it does bring into question the veracity of your assertion.

Yeah, the stats on ineffective stats are the most effective stats ... :wub:

Since David King declared himself as the stats King I no longer take any notice of stats. He reminds me of a bloated Beaver.

Which is probably just a Wombat. 

 

Goold old Kingy, the bloke that bashed a kebab stand owner with his mates after a night on the drink.  Great guy.

Stop it You're confusing me. I'm now 83.1777289% more confused than I was before I tried to be funny. I wish I hadn't ventured into numbers. I'm an English teacher; mathematics gives me a headache.

Fast. Or slow like Greg Williams?

Spatial perception gives some players time.

This is why the likes of Jack are elite. 

I love Jack, but mostly on a sentimental level. There's no way he's an elite player. I'm sorry. That word is bandied around a little too much. I watched him in 2010 and 2011. He was a promising youngster with good skills, good decision making and a ferocious attack at the ball and man. 

I hope he can become a solid role player back there. I don't see him in our midfield though. At least not on the front line, but he's a smart footballer and I hope that gets him through.

He mentioned  in a post match interview  with burgs that he played wing but saw himself moving into the mid as an inside mid.

I see him as our sam mitchell. Tough inside mid, good by hand, good vision and a good organiser

Oliver will be our Sam Mitchell. Trenners has never won it enough to be a Mitchell type player.

Tyson was sublime. That was vintage Dom Tyson, like the guy who arrived at our club and looked an A grader.

Just a matter of consistency with Dom before he solidifies his A grade status and with Viney being tagged, it means he and Oliver will prove to be really troublesome for oppositions. You can't tag them all.

Just a little perspective..

Trengove 82

Tyson 60 games

Viney 59 games

Brayshaw 24 games

Stretch 17 games

Oliver 8 games

Petracca 6 games

All under 25 years and all yet to hit the 100 game mark. Looking at that it has serious potential to become a lethal potent midfield brigade.

Viney and Tyson are now showing what a couple years in the system will do to you if developed properly. I cannot wait to see what Brayshaw Tracca Oliver and Stretch will do once they that get around that 50 to 70 games mark.

Made a couple of really poor errors, but seems to mostly have the speed of the game. The one other thing I would say is he's not quite up to the speed of our ball movement, but that will come. Great to see him kick that goal. Hope he can run out the four quarters today.

Was probably our best in the quarter that won the game for us.

I'm still off him. I still think the lack of pace will break him. But I have a glimmer of hope that he finds a Mitchell-style engine to be a useful in and under. His goal, and then his long kick to Watts, on a day when we showed one of our big weaknesses (skill) was why. Too skilled and smart not to be given the time to find out what he's got when he's 100%.

His kicking looked like it lacked penetration which was worrying, given the past, but his tackling and positioning were first class. Jury still out I think, but he's making progress no doubt. Fingers crossed for Jack, we couldnt have a better bloke around the club.

This is my Dees highlight of 2016. I am  a huge fan of Trenners, and watching him kick that goal gives me a huge dose of satisfaction. 

The game today must have felt so good to N Jones, Watts and Trenners after all the carp they have put up with at our club.

Yep. He, Gawn and Kent set us up in that second quarter.

Playing on a wing doesn't suit him. But 9 tackles is great effort.

Yep, is still as tough as any of our other guys. Needs to find a little bit of pace but is tracking well. So great to see him back out there and the boys getting around him after that goal was a beautiful sight.

So good to have Jack back...his on ground leadership is invaluable in this young team.

Watching him direct players around the stoppages was good to see along with the respect his teammates obviously have for him.

    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
