Jones - clean ball user

Vince - usually more creative

Hogan - consistently hard worker

Watts - creative and versatile

Petracca - brilliant in close

Viney - couldn't break free

Gawn - just a shadow

Oliver - creative ball user

Stretch - excellent 4 quarters

Kent - had little involvement

Newton - took his chances

Garland - better without pressure

Michie - little to enthuse

T. McDonald - kept opponent bereft

O. McDonald - far from convincing 

Hunt - one exciting run

Neal- Bullen - important one percenters

Bugg - 3 great quarters

Kennedy - needed more involvement

Garlett - regularly looked dangerous

Wagner - promising but flakey

Harmes - took his chances

Tough on Mitchie - thought he was pretty good.  Wasn't as enthused as you in relation to ANB and Newton.  Thought Watts was OK in the Ruck, but still question marks over his hardness at the contest.

Interesting selection dilemma with Tyson, Jetta and potentilly Dawes to come in.

Dawes!

I do not see anyone who would keep Jetta out in that backline today.

Tyson no problem if he is well will be playing in AS.

Agree about Hogan, best on ground followed by Stretch and Watts

Hell no.  He kept his man to 5 touches and a single point  while racking up 18 disposals himself at 77.8%.  You can't knock that effort from a young defender. 

I have a feeling you weren't at the game today.  

Jonathan Freeman kicked a goal on him by the way, after missing 2 easy ones.

Fumbled 3-4 times

Overran the footy twice.

Missed 3 crucial tackles.

Outbodied too easily.

He would be smashed in other games with this ...

I was indeed at the game.  Oscar had one job - to negate Schache.  He did that as well as you could possibly expect.  Meanwhile his brother was outbodied and outmarked repeatedly, yet nobody seems to be mentioning him at all.  Indeed, the comment from joeboy is "T. McDonald - kept opponent bereft" making me wonder if he doesn't have the two of them mixed up.

So you're complaining that a kid in his fourth game fumbled a couple of times and was overpowered by older, stronger athletes?

    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.
