Jones - great second half

Viney - far better involvement 

Salem - used disposal effectively 

Watts - was all class

Petracca - just a bull

Lewis - calmness when required 

Tyson - a front runner

Oliver - continued to excel 

Hibberd - was all class

Frost - loose but important 

Melksham - still not convincing 

Hannan - an opportunistic game

Pedersen - proved doubters wrong

Vince - enjoyed more freedom

Kennedy-Harris - little to commend

T. McDonald - relished the freedom 

O.McDonald - fortunately rarely required 

Hunt - wonderful first half

Neal-Bullen - some impressive cameos

Bugg - did he play?

Garlett - provided forward pressure 

Jetta - had limited involvement

Hannan was very good I thought. Plays like a 50+ game forward. When we started getting space he was a genuine target. I like him a lot.

And OMAC was great today.

JKH - Added little

JKH- a VFL player

Watts- proving haters wrong

 

Watts, a great story of determination and will overcoming past disappointments and critics.  Many others would have given up.  Jacks loyalty to Melbourne and Paul Roos mentoring important. And Goodwins harsh message pre -season.

Reckon we need to allow some slack Beezle to our perceived  underperfomers. It's team game and we supporters will never know what the coaches instructions are. 

I would love to know what the instructions were to Weideman in the first 4 games Ernest.

Get where the ball ain't? As JD would say.

Seriously OD, Weideman is a kid. My comment is the same, cut some of these boys some slack. Particularly the young kids. Look at Watts. Even in the best teams, individuals have their off matches. Focus on the positive not the negative . 

the positive for young weds is a good development stretch at casey, ernest

i think he will come good but getting a handful of touches in afl is not helping his development at all

Watts has run his guts out this year and is improving each week those who have bagged him should be ashamed.

 

Why should we be ashamed ? Was a cronic underperformer until the Roos era. Hats off to him no doubt but why should I be ashamed about calling a spade a spade at the current place and time

As Dc said I too do not see how playing a guy who is well below AFL standard at this point helps his development. He played 7 games in a row for two reasonable quarters. At the least he should have been dropped to Casey after the Geelong game. He is not yet ready for AFL. The mistake we made with JW was playing him for too many games in his early career lets not repeat it with Weideman.

Okay, OD, that's put your earlier comment in context.

I'm saying last year and this year Jack has played some really great footy, when Max went down Watts stood up and did a great job. I was talking about talking about Leigh Matthews when i made that comment, but if you want to put your self in there so be it? 

And Jack wasn't the only one under performing the whole club was but that's a whole other issue on to it's self.

So you still think Jack is a cronic underperformer this year as well?

    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
