Yes Keilty isn't up too AFL standards yet but "very,very average"? You really don't know what you are talking about man

Milkshake was borderline BOG alongside Garlett - genuine four quarter performance

I think Wagner impacts the contest well.  Bugg goes out for me 

You should have led with that. ;)

Yeah I can see your point. I'm glass half full on both. Bugg just kept getting on the end of it as a deep forward, when we were crying out for a target. He's a bit of a mr fixit. Like a very very poor man's Yeo. I suspect you may be right on this one. The defense has struggled at times lately, and that's partly because starters like Wagner haven't had continuity. If he does stay in, I'd love to see Salem rolled through the midfield and half forward. Kicking inside fifty has been absolutely our worst facet all year. Unless it's Salem with the ball in his hands. He can get a kick off half back if needed, but let's see him up the ground where he can really hurt teams.

My set play for Kicking out : Vince to Salem to Watts/Petracca   to      Gartlett/Hogan/Hannan .   Clarrie/Jack V and Nathan J could stand in the middle and smack anybody interfering or practicing their centre bounce drills.  

Simple game really  !!

I'd prefer Hibberd to Gawn with a contested mark just outside 50 who hands it off to Jones who chips to Lewis who passes to Watts who hits Trac up with a delightful pass who plays on and puts it down Hogan's throat 15m directly in front for a certain goal

Agreed, very simple game :)

100% agree with that, I think Salems finishing skills will up us massively

Any kicking skills will up us massively. lol

At one point in the second half Watts took a mark uncontested on the paint of defensive fifty. I was overjoyed. Love when he plays between the arcs.

In: Salem, Hogan, Gawn

Out: Wagner, Bugg, O.Mac (T.mac back to defence)

Collingwood don't really have a big key forward presence so our defence matches up well

199cm Moore? 211cm Cox?

The minute you switch off and don't take them seriously, that's when they get up and about.

C: Lewis - Oliver - Melksham

HF: Petracca - Pedo - Hannan

FF: Watts- Hogan - Garlett

FOLL: Gawn - Jones - Viney

Optimistic that both Hoges and Gawn return but that is just about best 22

Cox plays reserves and Moore is a skinny, mobile 2nd forward.

Who's kicked 5 in the last two weeks. Daniher's skinny too. Smashed us. I hope we take Moore seriously.

Cox though, they're welcome to play. lol

Hogan seems ready for QB according to the reporter on AFL today after speaking to the club this morning. 

Hogan a definite starter, Mark My words!

agree. Salem in. Hogan more than likely.  Gawn not ready so Spencer may be preferred.

Out.  Wagner for Salem

 O.mcd if Hogan fit (T.mcd goes back)

Misson has said that Spencer is tracking a week or two in front of Max so if that holds true, bring in Jake for QB and give Max an extra week or two to get cherry ripe.

Milkshake and Harmes would have to hold their spot. Nibbler may have done just enough. I reckon there may be a surprise in store - Max or Jesse to come in.

I think if Gawn isn't ready then spencer is. Hogan might also be ready.

Also salem goes straight in.

not too sure who goes out if spencer/Gawn, hogan and Salem play.

 Pedo? Bugg? O mac?

Does TMac deserve his spot at the moment? 12 possessions at 50 percent efficiency doesn't cut it. If Hogan comes back I would drop him before his brother.

Classic case of stats watching. He's been playing in the ruck and forward out of necessity. Put him in defense and he has 10 marks, 8 r50s, 25 touches, and about 15 spoils on a good day.

He has been forced to play ruck and up forward. He couldn't have done more

The radio (ABC) said that a move from forward to ruck saw an improvement - I think they meant in his (Tmac's) efficiency.

    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

    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
