Very hard to allocate votes when I feel gutted and we had so many passengers, but:

6.  Hogan:  a standout.  We would have been obliterated without him.

5.  Jones:  a warrior, but Viney aside, he had very little help around the stoppages.

4.  Viney:  see Jones.  They can't do it all on their own.

3.  Watts:  worked hard and did a few nice things in a team that was well beaten.  He would have been one of the first to go missing 12 months ago.

2.  Gawn:  probably just broke even with Hickey.

1.  Kennedy: a trier, and bobbed up a bit.

6 - Hogan - do I need to give a reason. 

5 - Viney - his 3rd term should have turned the game if the others came along. 

4 - Jones - I love that when we play bad he just comes out and leads by example. 

3 - Watts - presented well - where has his marking gone though. 

2 - Tyson - rounding out a really good centre clearance team. 

1 - Gawn - was below his par but above par for any other ruck. 

 

My worry with the votes is that our centre 4 and our 2 tall forwards are coming up in the votes again and again. I don't think we are getting enough from the others around the ground.

Everyone seemed tired.   IMO Gawn is easily the main reason we're doing better this year, but if we don't get serious help in for him soon, I predict he'll go down injured and we'll be seriously screwed.

 Peder/Frost give Max a break, but they also give the opposition rucks a break because they're easy to ruck against.

  Shouldn't have traded Stef Martin.  I'm not a Spencer fan at all, but he needs to practice goal kicking like crazy & replace Peder/Frost.  He'll hurt & tire the opposition when rucking,  so the opposition will have less energy to battle Max, Max will perform better and be more likely to survive without injury.

3. Watts (his contested efforts were great)

Our back 6 has been unfairly maligned after this game. We just need to show intensity around the ball otherwise it makes our attacking press look really stupid.

I reckon they'll ring in the changes a week late but with the longer break, I hope they give the same blokes a shot at redemption.

No team can maintain two All-Australian level ruckmen and both Gawn and Martin seem to be the type of guys that thrive on their own

Maybe. Nik Nat was a bit of an unknown quantity at that stage. Martin and Gawn are both in their prime, it would be virtually impossible to maintain.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
