Does the hard things well...but then turns it over way too many times.

A lot of people disregarding the conditions. Tough kicking with such a swirling wind. We are doing fine. Not spectacular but we're on track for 20 goals....

So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that about sum it up?

Strangely....not far off the mark ..lol

ANB has fitted in perfectly. Been in a lot of stuff at the stoppages. He has quick hands and commentators sometimes miss his possessions because of that. But his disposal is usually very effective.

Newt has been quieter but I'm still pretty happy with his game so far.  Shrugged off a tackle on the members boundary then steadied for a beautiful kick. That took strength and confidence.  Otherwise he has also been in the packs and got some quick clearances out.

In what universe is Oscar Mc Donald an AFL standard player?

He is slow, lacks awareness, is indecisive, too easily out positioned and really just not up to it. Now, T Mac again was outmanoevered easily resulting in one goal and as mentioned previously, he will not stand his man! How the coaching panel rates either is mystifying!

Demons 67 to 35. Should be 10 goals in front. Would be getting smashed against a top 8 team.

Lots of missed opportunities. Stop mucking around inside 50. Kick the goals.

Poor decision making. Petracca especially. Oliver handballs back into a pack (why??).

Gawn looks tired.

Viney must make decisions first time.

Hogan lacks skills. Kicking in field play is unreliable.

Tackling strong but still too many headhigh tackles.

Good - Wagner, Newton, Watts, N Jones.

Poor - O.mcd, Hunt.

O.mcd is slow and lacks footy sense. Outbodied too easily. Why is he ahead of Frost or Dunn.

I am actually surprised by some of the negativity. Just shows some will never be happy.

As always, it isn't perfect, but we are controlling the game and look in no danger.

not sure how you got those things when no one has said any of it. 

We aren't playing well and we are up, simple as that.

They're actually not that far down.

5 goals at half time isn't impossible to peg back.

Good summary, don't let the rose coloured glasses brigade read this.

The one absolute I take from today so far is it's magnifying the 'gaps' in the list . Easy to see from today what the shopping list looks like .

Just shows, am watching on a phone and viney to me looked like was getting it but not effectively giving it off. Need to be there or have TV as obviously missing things.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
