There's a mixed bag and a team effort but Watts, Oliver, Kent, Jones, Tyson, Gawn and Viney certainly were heavily involved in the scores. 

The one that did surprise was how much the Weid was involved in the goals, particularly in the first quarter! He was in nearly every one of them.

Mark and goal, clever handball, chest mark and moving the ball on and so on.

Now it helped that the side seemed 'on' and were up and running through the corridor but the way the Weid got the ball on was great to see. Short attacking kicks and quick movement has been the way to beat the Hawks for a while now (even if most teams can't do it) so maybe that was the catalyst to get guys leading up more, but along the same lines I think the addition of Petracca and Vanders then now Weideman could give us a lot more movement around half forward. The Jeff out the back, Kent in to space (a new addition this year) and Watts (also new this year) and Hogan both carrying a big load forward line was far too predictable.

The goal highlights are amazing.  But from an emotional high, I think the last 10 minutes in it's entirety are better.  Some of the pressure and tackling that we put on the Hawks was immense, together with Maxy's big marks it was the best 10 minutes of football in years.

I really wish the club did more with their YouTube channel. I hate the Bigpond video player.

Same, I find the stream quality drops in and out a heap on my laptop...

As it does on mine, it has also started being very jumpy in the last couple of weeks. Strangely the AFL site doesn't have the same issue.

Not being at the game, it was good to see our contested footy and improved ball use by hand and foot. Handball in particular seemed much quicker and direct, without the usual hospital hand passes.  Don't know if that reflected the entire game but it was a highlight of the highlights.

How good was that clearance by Oliver then the kick to Brayshaw that hits him on the chest and slots it from 50 on the run

Vanders off the ball effort to ensure Brayshaw had that space running forward cannot be understated either. Could just as easily run close looking for a cheap handball receive but just held his man out of the contest. Want to see more of that.

He was paid the free - Brayshaw took the advantage

Just quietly, apart from kicking three of his own, Jack Watts and his absolutely sublime delivery led to three more in the last quarter alone (hitting Pedo on the lead, Tyson for the sealer, Tyson's last one from just forward of the centre circle). There were probably others through the game that I can't recall.

He is just a supremely important player. What a bloody star.

Kent put a couple down Watts' throat too - he is seriously underrated going into 50 and has great chemistry with Hogan too.

yeah he was paid a free because he stopped and blocked to keep the space and his man tackled him in frustration. Free or no free the decision to make the space was good. I like seeing good off the ball efforts Watts does then as good as anyone. If more players develop it we will be a much better side.

Absolutely. Was sensational work.

I've mentioned previously how Robert Flower played even better when in the Victorian team because he was in the right spot and the ball actually got to him. Perhaps part of the improvement in Watts is something similar - as the players around him get better, his kicks which perhaps always went to the right spot now actually have the players at the other end who maximise their value.

I'm sure you're right. Just as important is that the delivery into him is getting better too, giving him more chances at kicking goals. The couple of laser passes from Kent spring to mind, and that one over the top that was kicked perfectly to his advantage inside 50.

I watched Hawthorn's goals too. 

1. 50m penalty

2. free kick Rioli (hit on shoulder during diving handpass straight after Oliver bump)

3. Turnover after Brayshaw was not paid an obvious 50m penalty when Hawthorn booted the ball away well after the whistle

4. Free kick in the square right after Bernie got his nose smashed.

5. 50m penalty

6.  Rioli, right after his dumping tackle on Weidemann

I think the scoreboard flattered Hawthorn. They shouldn't have gotten any of these.

    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.
