Wind has dropped a bit. Some sloppy play by the scorps towards the end. The Weed takes a great one gander but misses the goal from the boundary.  jake spencer kicks a goal from outside 50. ANB another just after. Scorps in front by11 points

I think it was Hulett who missed that shot. 

Anyway, there has been a bit of niggle in the game with Terlich heavily involved. No surprise he instigated the dust-up on the way to the sheds.

Does Weed actually look like he will be a player? Havent seen a second of him playing so i only have these reports to go by.

Keeping a lid on but yes, watched him against Collingwood, skillset really good, McCartney will turn him into the player everyone wants him to be

Like Jack t game. Very good that second quarter.

scorpions very tall side but our midfielders like Anb, Newton and s couple of likely looking casey boys (sorry no idea of names) started getting more of it q 2.

massive wind and easy to score southern end. We need to hold them as much as possible. Anything under 30 points will be achievable with wind in last quarter.

Brayshaw out for the rest of the game. Not even in the rooms (talking to MFC players watching).  Good the see the team around him

Disappointing news. Hopefully the club look after him & give him a few games off if this is concussion related.

Tough day for the tall marking forward with the wind blowing it all over the place. He moves well, attacks it in the air and disposes well. He will be a player in time. We gotta beauty there.

beautiful pick up and handball lead to a scorps goal q 2. Real skill required and executed to perfection

So he isnt a one trick pony with good hands but not much else? ( rhetorical question really )

Leads to the right spots, second efforts, forward line pressure, tackle, chase etc . He shows signs of doing all the stuff that doesn't get stats? (tackles do ofc)

He holds more interest for me than anyone else at Casey as he is our fallback plan if the Hulk leaves.

His season is turning into the nightmare 2nd season from hell.

Might need a few games off to get freshened up and recover.

Sounds like Brayshaw's copping some crappy luck in his second year, hope he's ok.

Are you pretty sure it's concussion?

Yeah see this is exactly the sort of thing i want to hear about him every week. Gives a person genuine hope.

It is not his ability, as I have said before, all AFL players should have the skillset at varying levels, his skillset is good, which means he has the opportunity to be an AFL player of a very good standard, some players can run all day but have a low level of skills, it does not stop them becoming an AFL player, which as we have discussed means that they are AFL standard, let me know if this is still not that clear....ability is more about being able to produce your best on a consistent level, as in Bill Shorten talks a good game and seems to have the skillset required to be a Prime Minister, but will he be able to maintain it and not drop the country into the cesspit that the last two Labor governments have..........back to the WEED, from training you can see him listening intently to every bit of information that is pushed his way by the coaches, which again is a good sign

The new Melbourne ding, he has to do the above if he wants to be even considered for a game in the AFL

To be honest, if the Weed was able to save a country from recession during a global financial crisis, I'm not sure we even need Hogan!

We don't need Hogan, he is going to stop the boats by standing on the beach at Fremantle with his hand up in a threatening manner

(I was going to use the Canute reference, but thought it might be wasted, history to young people these days, means something you wipe off your browser to make sure Mum doesn't see the websites you're trawling)

 

Besides which the Chinese building boom saved this country in the GFC, a drovers dog could have managed it

    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.

    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
