Hahahahaha, was waiting for the negative on Tyson. He was the ONLY mid making any difference at all in the first half and was very good in the second half. Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up wher

Hannan here was a little underrated. He was sop important in the 3rd and 4th in pressure acts and score involvements. Won me over today.

context, bub, twas in response to faulty saying what if they had kicked another goal

The only true context of today is we won...just..There was NOT a lot in it.

I'm more than happy that we did....of course but ...was a coin toss really.

good ol' heads !!

My favorite moment of the year.

 

Watts last goal, arms open, half arrogant look on his face.

 

Magic.

Wasn't it great!...almost worth 8 years of waiting !!

even better with a foul mouthed Collingwood parent/moron behind me sledging him earlier as being a wasted #1 pick... I enjoyed yelling '#1' at him after he iced the game!

Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up where hoped but they were quick kicks out of congestion. Glad to see you didn't disappoint with your bias on him!

FWIW Tyson is currently 6th in the league for clangers, behind:

1. Fyfe 60

2. T Mitchell 56

3. (Equal) D Martin, Zorko 53

5. Dangerfield 52

6. Our man 48

...make of that what you will

"Melksham - some important touches"

He had 10 disposals at 40% DE. 

Stats aren't the be all and end all, but cmon, he was crap today.

did a rather good tagging job in pendles and kicked a clutch goal. showed flexibility by moving forward too. by no means poor. average but not poor

Thought Bugg was clearly ahead of Harmes today. He will have a 4-5 goal game soon. Continually gets to the right spots, and while he doesn't have the class of some others, he makes up for it with his workrate. Definitely don't think he is a long term option, but have him above Harmes/Kent/JKH at the moment. 

his mongrel, pressure, arial prowess, 2 way fitness and shots on goal (albeit wasteful) keeps him ahead of ANB, stretch and harmes next week fo shizzle

Not many arguments from me. It was a thrilling win but we never really got out of first gear. Definitely not one of our best performances. Still too many blokes butchering kicks

Sometimes it is important to win ugly. Something we have not been good at. We are getting it done. Celebrate guys - enjoy it. We are progressing nicely, and have two of our key players back in the next two weeks.

Are they still doing that? I had some moron sitting next to me yelling that out all game one QB. I just kept saying 'Josh Fraser'

 

I thought he was going to punch me by the end of the game, but I can handle myself and I guess he saw that.

 

So sweet seeing Jack ice the cake. I hope my moron mate from long ago choked on his methadone watching that.

I make of that that inside mids get lots of clangers because they work under extreme pressure and lots of the time their work doesn't come off. Tyson for some reason isn't allowed the same mistakes other mids are.

Anyone saying Bugg was poor today, wow...

I thought Bugg was poor today. There. I've said it. And I didn't think Hannan was as good as others seem to think, either. However, I think Hannan has the right skill set. He just needs to get the experience of AFL-paced rather than VFL-paced football to become a potentially seriously good player.

Hannan - pole-axed Dunn nicely

Personally this was my second favourite moment of the game, behind Jack Watts sealer. Would have been number 1 if it was anyone else but Dunny. Was great to see him just going full on at it. His confidence is growing.

One was a cheapy over the top that he soccered.

This just proves what others have been saying about him getting into the right position at the right time. He was also burnt twice that I saw during the game so could have ended with 4. I think in the same way that some earlier this year were calling for Hannan to go back to the VFL but then he came good, Bugg looks like he is close to having a breakout game. I'd hate for him to be in the VFL when that happens.

Magic.

IMO a major difference with JW now is he goes for those shots, a couple of years ago he would have past that off to Jones.

Now he has the confidence / arrogance to go for the shots.

the best teams have a number of players with confidence in their own ability.

Petracca has it as well.

I disgaree. His woeful kicking is a liability, not a big pressure guy either. JKH or Kent would offer more. Bernie is doing the niggle job he could possibly do.

Wow, you want pressure and ask for Kent? Seriously?

    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.
