Max is not the Max of old. Hasnt taken a grab or had one kick ....Love the guy but we could drop him and still win. He needs to lift as a senior Demon. Poor effort. 4 handballs for the day.

Fix the clearances problem and we will win

If Lewis and Vince can wind back the clock a bit, our midfield still looks strong. I hope Lewis spends time playing an inside role as Oliver needs some support in the absence of the skippers. I t

I don't feel like we've been outplayed. This is a quintessential Carlton game. 2-3 extra behind the ball, rebound, bank on your talls marking. They aren't a high scoring side and have no plan B. We've defended well but our rebounding has been horrific at times. Long periods where they just create a wall and we can't get out, so we overuse it and become stationary. 

We've dominated for less than they have but we are far more efficient. This is with little influence from.  Trac, Garlett and Hogan.

Kent had a good quarter there.

Wagner one of our best. OMAC is a star. Frost has saved about 4-5 shots on goal by out marking them.

My main concern is their marking and Kreuzer. Not phased about clearances because we've held them well. We just need to rebound faster and make sure we have the numbers to counter their loose defenders.

That last goal should definitely give us some confidence going into the second half.

We've been outplayed for most of the game but managed to come back with true grit.

They seem to have some injury issues and wouldn't it be ironic if they ran out off puff in the second half due to an inability to rest players off the interchange as happened with us against Richmond?

Eventually the question is gonna need to be asked about whether T Mac just stays forward now. He's killing it.

The last 6 weeks has essentially completely changed his career. He'll now play significant time up forward in games and do it regularly. He's gone, in a couple of months, from being a career KP defender to being a McGovern-style swing man. It's one of the biggest stories at MFC this year.

Kreuzer toweling up Max yet again. Maxy has struggled around the ground again today and Kreuzer could've had a few goals to his name by now as he's getting to the weight spots and taking some marks.

There two men down so no excuse for losing to a bottom 4 team with 2 men down for a half.

Just get it done Dees!

Only Carlton's injuries will keep us in this game, otherwise it's sayonara. As we're discovering, it's all about the midfield. Fumbly and too panicky down back. Uncertain and no defensive urgency up forward. And as has been the case all year, oppo's play the width of the MCG much better. We're playing like we've got a lot to lose, which we do, and Carlton are doing the opposite. Yuck.

Some bloody harsh taskmasters in here, ie Max and Jesse.

Between them they have played a handful of games all year.

Keeps going up for a mark one handed. Frustrating

Twice as many marks as us.

I think he may be carrying an injury. He is a much better player than just 4 handball for half a game. Put Pedo  in ruck max at full forward and Hogan in the centre or CHF.

I like the kid, but so far I have to agree.  Makes you wonder if JFK and Kennedy did something really wrong beyond what Kent did.  I've thought Kent has been ok, but was very supprised Kenedy didn't get the nod.  

...let's see what Smithy can do in the second half.

    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
