Apologies to Jetta Frost & Petracca who all played their part.  6. Viney set the tone from the middle along with  5. Oliver was just fantastic around the clearances and his workrate was

22 into 6 won't go, but on a more serious note:

6.  Viney

5.  Hibberd

4.  Oliver

3.  Pedersen

2.  Vince

1. Salem

That was a seriously difficult assignment, and probably doesn't do justice to the likes of Truck, TMac, Jetts and Jonsey.  On any other weekend, they would have been in my bests.

Had trouble putting them in order, but think they were the best 6.  Wanted to squeeze in Jones, Vince, Tom Mac and Jetta but couldn't.

6 Oliver (hard for me not to give him this after criticising him lately. Not once did he turn backwards and compile stats with an easy unrequired handball. Brilliant and what a goal)

5 Hibberd (how good was he! Plenty of tricky moments to cope with - the Wags handball over his head etc - but he was beaten only in one of them - Eddie's magic goal).

4 Viney (he's back. I just feel sorry for his girlfriend. Imagine him coming at you all the time!)

3 Petracca (when you are Mr Cool in the cauldron that we witnessed, then you've made it. He has. We now have two young superstars and a host of other goers).

2 T-Mac (I know some of you don't get it with his kicking. But if you actually watch his impact, he's in everybody's votes. I just wish Jesse would take note.)

1 Salem (Started our regroup in the second with a courageous handball to Lewis and was precise and clever from then on. Why he's been playing midfield is beyond me.)

Apologies:

Jones and Pedo - Hard to believe that they could kick five between them, do their roles, and miss votes, but I stand by my choices.

Vince - A serial pest in Adelaide. Sometimes we need to tag and the element of surprise helps. Normal role next week please though.

6) Viney - dominant, fearless, inspirational

5) Hibberd - if he played for any other team would be being talked up as unanimous AA selection

4) Petracca - looked like a Dangerfied clone when he went on to the ball. That contested mark and goal just screamed confidence. Total beast.

3) Clayton Oliver - made Jacobs hitouts look worthless. A genius reader of the play.

2) TMac  - his move forward helped turn the game.   Goodwin is a proactive coach.

1) Bernie Vince - obliterated Sloane

Unlucky - Salem, Jetta, Pedersen, Jones, Frost

Hibberd has been fantastic, but he has played three games, so wouldn't be in AA contention at the moment. The fact that he plays for the MFC rather than someone else has nothing to do with it. 

Other than that, pretty accurate I reckon.

Your votes shouldn't count if you don't have TMac in there

Sorry Billy. Couple of useful things in the third doesn't cut it for me compared to the six chosen.Two goals, two excellent contested marks and two goal assists were good though.

6 - Viney. Complete game. Drove us forward always (and through them).

5 - Vince. His role was so important, Sloane drives them, Vince took the keys. 

4 - Petracca. Forward and mid he was great. Too strong, too good. 

3 - Hibberd. Mops [censored] up, gets us out of pickles, strong and smart, ripping game. 

2 - Oliver.  Because Oliver. 

1 - I really can't decide between Tmac and Pedo. Both structurally important. Both played equally well. .5 each. 

That was difficult. lol look at the players that missed out.

    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
