No excuse. I will say this sort of thing is what I predicted something into the year, based purely on age of players. Not that I don't care. It's brutal. But I'm not slitting my wrists.

Gee, Joeboy we lost by 3 points! Your analysis gives the impression that we had a 100 point loss. Very harsh judging.

Not harsh at all, the players need to grow up and learn fast, if they aint capable then offload Quick! Very fair Joeboy! IMO

"too many handballs"... week 7 repeated.

This is what Goodwin has trained over the pre season. But he queries integrity and our effort. Poor show Goody. Watch the game. It was ineffective circular handballs. Oliver is a great young gun but his disposal needs to improve.

Your Tyson bias is showing a bit 'joeboy', but I guess this is a good wrap from you. I thought he was one of our more consistent contributors today and was involved in as many (I counted 5) goal scoring chains. No clangers & used the ball well.

Not really.  We were diabolical for the first half, played one quarter of real football and then broke almost even in the last.  If we'd played the whole match like the third quarter we'd have given them another 80+ point flogging, and that's really all the Hawks deserve.  They were crap, we were worse.

Gee Bobby ...youre right we did well....wait !! :unsure:

JB isn't 100% but when we're about 50% of what we should be, who's closer the mark ?

That for the most part was crap.

3 points this week will be a 100 next if we play the same.

I always look forward to reading your three-word analysis Joeboy, even if I agree or disagree with the majority of it.

Here are my adaptations, I think you nailed most of it this week.

As for Oliver I completely agree. He is very handball heavy. He's an excellent and very exciting player who I believe has a very nice foot on him also. I hope the club notice this and encourage him to use it more.

Jetta: Good or bad?

I can't work out how to grade Jetta. On the plus side, Puopolo did nothing and Rioli little. But was that Jetta's work? On the other hand, he keeps going up in packs with two or three other Demons attempting to stop their forwards from marking rather than staying down and being ready for when the ball hits the ground.

He is a hard one to grade. But each week he appears to be curbing the influence of the opposition small forwards. So for now, he appears to be doing his job.

Ya see its all perspective...and possibly a one size all feedback wont fit for all of a game.

Here's an example

Jones - Sank us early

Now he did improve, but as captain his game , his clunkers and turnovers cost us dearly. He aided and abetted the enemy for more minutes than is forgivable.

and yet at times he played manfully and with vision.

Its almost as all by him self he epitomises everything thats wrong with Melb Inconsistency.

Jetta seems like our only defender that can get a decent punch on the ball in marking contests. But you are right he should not go up when taller defenders are going for the ball.

Good to see Viney back to form. 

Trending  - Oscar Mac, Frost

Flat compared to last week - Salem and Petracca

Negative watch - JKH, Bugg

We need a win as reward for 4 quarters of footy.

Tyson - running into form.

Fair call rjay and joeboy. He did have the odd clanger, not that he was the only offender, in the main these were those searching kicks into the corridor to try to create some of the midfield run which were so missing in the first half. 

82% disposal efficiency on Sunday

Yes but the simple fact is we lost again BM.

There were five players out there that are not AFL level players. 

Fill ins is their best but they will not take us to finals.

JKH, O Mac, Wagner, Bugg and Tyson is a front runner does well in games that others win for us.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
