I thought Tyson was much improved today, made a couple of mistakes but 24 touches, 6 tackles and 2 goals is getting back towards his best footy

When I saw him kick it from fifty on the run, I knew it was our day.

Frost. On the run. From 50. 

 

Can't be sure but that move may have been controlled from the box or the MFC Official at the interchange. Doesn't matter it was brilliant. When was the last time we have seen a move like that.

Interesting in Jones' interview at the end of the game when they were talking about big Max...Jones described him as 211cm; has Max grown another 3cm or is Jones talking him up (see what I did there)?

How times change.

Ben+Kennedy+Heritier+Lumumba+West+Coast+

Kennedy has been a revelation and Lumumba looks far better this year already, maybe his ankles were holding him back in 2015?

I was massively unimpressed with Lumumba after the Essendon game, but he has been very important to our run out of defence the last 2 weeks.

Great to get the win, but really, don't get ahead of ourselves.  Some of the turnovers were horrific and until we get these out of our game we will continue to be hit and miss. 

Frost is like a 3 year old Colt, might need to be gelded to get that consistency.  The open goal that should have been in the last minute of the 3rd, what a goal it would have been he just got a little bit excited.

Happy with the win, need to improve for next week.

I agree there were some bad turnovers. Having said that and everyone saying how poor cwood were, they did tackle quite a lot and very hard. What Im saying is their tackling pressure wasnt bad and the turnovers were on par for that. Full credit to us for fighting through the pressure the pies put on us in the third quarter.

but just think how close we could have been to 4-0

Yep thats what makes the dons loss so bad. Two wins and going the distance against north in their tassie fortress is a good start.

Came to ask the same thing. 

Pretty sure it would've been a cheap behind the play punch in the guts. Not sure how Ch 7 missed it. 

i'll bet they didn't. they have plenty of other cameras on different angles

I thought after the first break it was the greatest intensity Collingwood brought all year. We didn't adjust our style accordingly (overuse) but we didn't get overwhelmed or drop our intensity too much either which was pleasing.

Watching the Watts on ground interview after the match and he mentions H speaking to him about the 2010 Premiership and about belief (which you can very much picture Lumumba doing) and then there is the shot of the Melbourne players walking off the ground and their are a lot of hugs and back slaps for H. Perhaps he could be one of those players whose worth is valued way more than what they just produce on the field.

I am becoming a big fan of his

I was a fan the day he chose to join us.  All the noise out of Collingwood about him being troublesome was ridiculous.  He was mocked there for being outspoken, thoughtful, eloquent and for having decent morals.  With such cerebral types as Travis 'Ian Baker-Finch' Cloke, Dane Swan and even Buckley getting stuck into him you can understand his desire to leave that neanderthal pack.  He is a very good footballer and a very good role model and Collingwood did not value this.  Roos did.  MFC did.  It looks like our players do.  I love the guy.  Frustrates at times but very few don't when trying to improve as our club from where we have been.  Love the H fndee!

I think the 2016 fewer interchange open running style suits him way better than the rugby maul seagulls-fighting-over-a-chip style that was played over the last few years.

I too was unimpressed after round 2 but was hopeful that we could turn on the same stuff we showed in the last quarter against GWS. And we have, and it works, and it suits H. It suits most of our players.

You could see C'wood yesterday trying to close it down into a greco roman wrestling match but unfortunately for them, we're now better at that than they are.

Great win, was one that kept saying to my Col mate that we could still lose this, and he just said we play really exciting footy.  So happy we didnt crumble, maybe we have truned a corner, but they need to back it up this weekend.

On a side note, had a Canadian bloke behind me with his son, (I'm from Canada and people think I'm slow eh.) so spent a fair amount of time explaining the rules during the game, which i didn't mind doing.  Has anyone ever tried to explain our game to someone that has absolutely no idea what is happening? I struggled a bit with it but in the end he had a great time and was even getting into the "BALL" shouting, but i suspect he was just following the crowd.

Two quick questions re. umpiring decisions. The touched off the boot Treloar point that went to the goal review after a marking contest. Is this within the laws of review system? It seems if a field umpire calls touched then it could have an impact on the following contest. And the Frost free on the 3/4 time. Pedo picks up the ball after the free is awarded and is absolutely dumped. Can 50m be awarded to the kicker if a teammate is impinged in the process of returning the ball? Just curious (Read: I was one of those with a chunk of cash on a 39+ win).

Yes free kicks can be awarded until the umpire says it is all over.

For example, if you are having a shot after the siren and a team mate nearer to goal is dumped, he can get a free kick.

Can't agree re Bugg. Had a ton of tackles and is tough as old boots. Agree it will be tough finding someone to make way.

i reckon young clayton looked tired today and ineffectual. Great kid but could do with a spell - it's a long season for a first year player. 

Wrong.  Totally composed.  Every touch.

I once went to a game with a mate from the states and tried explaining the rules.

I gave up at 3 quarter time after multiple instances of near-identical holding the ball decisions were made differently by different umpires.

Just glad I didn't have to see the North game with him. I struggle to explain some of those calls to myself...

The 2 of them were pretty good, the kid was understanding a lot quicker and i heard him explaining some thing to his dad a few times.  It really makes you think how complex the game really is, especially when their main sport is ice hockey.

    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.
