I mooted that Lewis might be rested well not after today well done.

And Lewis said on SEN he has only played 7 games this year after his enforced layoff so he said he is on that plane!

Goodwin was just on SEN 1) Gawn will play 2) Watts's scan came up clear. As long as he gets through training tomorrow will play. 3) Hibberd will 100% play. Always pulls up sore with his

Going to really stick my neck out here: In: Gawn Out: Injured player If no player is injured, I quit.  Too hard.

It's only natural after such a bitterly disappointing loss.

Goody said Jones and Watts were kept off in the last as a precaution.  What a luxury to be 50 points up!  Would suggest these two are in if they pull up.

If Gawn is in, I have no idea who goes out.  TMac goes back onto Kennedy, OMac on Captain Darling.

Watts is so valuable.  Really want him to come up.

Great to have real pressure on selection.

Isn't it funny - 2 weeks ago everyone was pushing for OMac to be the 1st dropped with Bugg hot on his heels, but both have had very good week. OMac is in a lot of peoples votes tonight (including quite a few who have him as BOG). Also interesting was that I thought TMac had his best game since he's been pulled out of the backline.

Personally I think it'll be an unlucky injured player (Jones at worst). Watts in an interview with Fox straight after the game said he was only off as a precaution, so I doubt it'll be him.

If Jones is OK then it'll either be ANB who played better today, but still had some of the worst disposal for the team, or else Melksham if the selectors didn't like his shutdown role on JJ (but I don't see that happening). Whoever is out will have to consider themselves unlucky, but then again having players good enough that don't play is a sign of a good team.

Summary:

In: Gawn

Out: ANB

Might be a bit controversial but Vince is just going. Could he be the one to make way?

Yep it isn't going to happen but Bernie has been in the bottom few for me over the last bit. Maybe still suffering from his dodgy toe but a long, long way from his B n F form

While I don't think ANB did a whole lot wrong, it wouldn't surprise me if he made way. Doesn't seem to be all that damaging to me. Not saying I desperately want to see him dropped but he'd be a name I'd throw up as a possibility. 

Vince I agree with a few others, he's not doing a lot for me. His kicking is letting him down (is his toe still giving him problems?) and appears to be a bit fumbly at the moment. Again I wouldn't say I'm desperate for him to be dropped and he's still one of our best taggers so perhaps give him a role on a WC mid next week. Otherwise I'd be thinking about bringing Trenners in for him.

Can anyone tell me how Spencer went this week? Did he put his hand up for selection? 

I feel in the wide expanses of Subiaco a ruckman is quite important, there are question marks over bringing Gawn straight in for a trip to Perth and a 6 day break. 

If someone gets dropped this week they are very unlucky and should be given a pat on the back.

Goodwin doesn't think so as he's said Gawn will play next weekend.

I agree with the last line as well - whoever makes way is going to be very, very unlucky.  I'm glad it's not my job to make that decision.

Gawn comes in...but no necessity to play all game in ruck. He can play some time rotating through the tapwork with stints up front.

Stretch is more a top up in the middle than JKH at this level.

They're my thoughts.

Oh wow. Jones out is absolutely massive.

Head says Stretch in for him as we need the engine on Subi.

Heart says Trenners.

Trengove is done! 

Lets place some serious footy nous here! No room for sentiment when  place in the 8 is now a real posibility!

Melksham actually played ok up forward today. 

Taking Maxy across on a plane for a 3hr flight and back on a bigger ground makes me nervous. Id be happy to keep him for the swans game, but I guess if he is ready then I trust the medical and coaching staff. 

I hope JOnsey and Watts are ok.

Thought he was faultless today-he did his time at Casey last year-why should he step aside.He's ready.

Interesting; I am a fan but thought he had some really poor moments today.  inaccurate kicking on goal, poor disposal and decision making for the first three quarters.  Did some good things in the last.

Assuming no injuries perhaps Vince goes out, has points in the bank but on form over this season he should surely be out before bugg, anb or any others

Maybe Vince will be out with "soreness".

Melksham or ANB for mine. I'd also like to know when Joel Smith is returning. Seems forgotten...

Joel will surely need a few weeks at Casey - no way he will be rushed in, and for whom, where?

Jones and watts will both play, just taking no risks 

If there is any hint of a hammy tear, and he'll be scanned, he won't play for 3 weeks. Sounds harsh, but is non-negotiable these days, and for reasons of reducing recurrence and chronic behaviour. Jones quad another story. If it settles and he gets through training, he'll play.

I didn't hear that, that's fantastic news! I think the selection committee is going to need a lot of Panadol to sort out the headaches at selection!

    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.
