I realise that everyone has opinions but leaving Jetta out of the best six is ridiculous.

Great to see the Salem love in this thread. I think he might have arrived this year.

6: Salem (I dont know what it looked like on TV but wow he had an outstanding game. Imagine him and Kelly on a wing together). 

5: Oliver (Just dominated the first quarter and came back strongly in the last - also put a cheeky $2 on him for the brownlow) 

4: Jeffy (that tackle!) 

3: Jetta (so underrated. I wonder if he will at least be in the AA conversation)  

2: T-Mac (If Hurley, Rance, and McGoven dont take the possie, he will) 

1: Jones (when we needed our captain he came running. 

 

Homsar - live Weid looks really good. Right areas, competes well. Will be something. 

I was there live, and I agree he can look good. I was probably a bit harsh in my assessment. When he gets space to run and jump he is a good mark. Lovely kick too. Old style full forward. With a few years to build a tank and muscle, will be a serious player.

Perfect Jane02 in My HO.

I am glad you left JW out. 

The amount of dropped chest marks apart from the first that Garlett gave him, was appalling.

I find it really interesting because of Hogan, Weiderman isnt really talked about by the outside world. While we might all think he is going to develop well, the outsiders talk about Danniher, McCartin, Schace, McKay for Carlton, etc but no love for Weid. If he tracks the way he is going (no improvement, just stagnate) for the rest of the year, he ends up with 33 goals and must be seriously competing for the Rising Star with that amount of goals. Might have the sort of development we wish Watts had - off the bright lights of Broadway and can develop in his own time with great players around him.

Have a look at the last quarter, JW was excellent: certainly worth a vote IMHO.

2 - he dropped 2. ( but there were 8 other marks he did take). I have no problem with him being left out of the votes purely based on there being better players on the day but he was very influential in the last quarter when the game had to be won.

I thought Hogan provided a contest all day but he also dropped a lot of marks that he got clean hands to.

    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.
