6. Gawn - Absolute beast. Set up our offense. Gawn shows the true value of a quality ruckman, his tap work is invaluable.

5. Viney - Grunt work exceptional. Second and third efforts didn't go unnoticed, an absolute bull, a real leader of men.

4. Garlett - Forward pressure amazing, ability to kick goals when we need them - impressive. Any other day he would be BOG, top 2 had amazing days.

3. Tyson - Massive day today. Tyson is capable of big days, he is levels above his recent output, and today shown that. Great game, more of it plz.

2. Vince - Classy performer, tough as nails.

1. Kent - Continues to impress, ooozes potential - starting to deliver.

 

Honorable mentions - Hunt, Bugg, improved game from Salem, Jetta steady. TMAC stiff to miss the votes.

6 Viney - what a second half, was absolutely amazing, which makes it 3 x BOGs so far by my count

5 Gawn - awesome first half where he was everywhere

4 Tyson - contemplated giving him 6 because he was god for 4 quarters, but couldn't ignore the sheer impact of the above 2

3 Garlett - one of my favourites, took his chances and and makes defences nervous

2 Kent - that is now a consistent 3 week block where he has impacted games throughout, rather than just small cameos

1 McDonald - cut off so many attacks with some great intercept marking, but was let down by some poor disposal

I was a little too "tired" to post last night but here' s my view from the good seats

Max Gawn. Simply a colossus 

Viney. As usual a powerhouse in and around the contested ball

Garlett. Kicked 4 and had a hand in another 4.  A key member of the team.

T Mac. Strong marking and provided a real barrier in defence

Vince  Classy always and a good finisher. Also provides a bit of mongrel

Tyson's more even effort just pips JW for my final vote

Interesting...

Two years ago it would have been:

6:.Jones

5: er gee who else can I think of

etc. etc.

Now- Where's Jonsey? Mind you he was OK but as shown above we now have a team of contributors and not a one man team!

6 - Viney - he is in AA form at the moment and was just a beats at every contest, he loves the jumper and the club and it shows, he is the leader this club has been crying out for

5 - Gawn -dominant around the ground and imposed himself seems to have the belief in himself and IMO just behind Goldy and ahead of Mummy as the leagues best ruckman

4 - Tyson - best game he has played for the club and an upgrade on his 2014 form

3 - Garlett - 4 goals isn't all he done his harassment and heat at the drop of the ball created uncertainty in with the Tigers defenders throughout the game, glad we got him right before bringing him back in  

2 - Vince - had the experience and poise at vital moments when the Toiges were coming I don't care that we gave up pick 20 for him, he has been invaluable to the club and to the development of Viney

1 - Kent -  gut running, hard chases and good decision making which is something if he does consistently will make him the player he can be

And where is Hogan when we kick over twenty goals like last night?

1.  Viney - four quarter effort and willed us to victory in the last.

2.  Gawn - exceptional first half

3.  Tyson - goal kicking mids are gold.

4.  Vince - silk

5.  Garlett - creative

6.  Salem - terrific first half and good second half.  Creative use by hand and precise kicking.  Very good decision maker and hurts the opposition when he gets it.  Underrated game.

Apology:  T Mac.  He would almost have been BOG but his turnovers hurt.  Just misses a spot in the six.

    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
