Jones - gallant and cared

Hogan - unsighted before injury

Salem - slow and loose

Watts - didn't silence doubters

Petracca - had little impact

Lewis - season best game

Brayshaw - was rarely sighted

Gawn - couldn't hold marks

Tyson - an overrated liability

Oliver - many pointless handpasses

Hibberd - continued downward spiral

Melksham - took his chances

Hannan - overwhelmed and undersized

Pedersen - no heroics today

Vince - past his prime

T.McDonald - disappointing and loose

O.McDonald - hardly imbued confidence 

Hunt - exciting but careless

Neal-Bullen - was hardly noticed

Garlett - frustrating but tried

Jetta - not his best

Harmes - was he playing?

Petracca had 23 touches kicked 2 goals and had 8 score involvements. 

ANB kicked 2 goals and similar game to Trac. They both arguably kept us in it.

Way too lenient on Jones and Hunt. They were both awful.

Hibberd was ok. Trac was good. Jones was disappointing 

You are happy with Hibberd turning it over or fumbling. Is not a shadow of the player he was early in the season.Something is wrong there.

Replace against all players except the MacBoys- Butchered the Ball

Against the Mac boys- Very Dumb Footballer.

Gee, we get on the bike pretty easy. We only lost by 19 points so there must have been some positives.

Petracca: Brilliant at times/Missing at times

TMac : playing without confidence

Midfielders : too many easy entries into Cwood fwdline

ALL : 2 ay running required

Watts : DId something constructive with the ball

We have bite the bullet, cannot play jones and vince in the same side. Oliver needs help and probably needs to have an additional week off. Since Gawn's return we turned to mush,probably opposition players have worked him out. We need to bite the bullet,perhaps Hogan needs to play back or be traded. We need to get more currency in the next trade,ANB ,Kennedy,JKH and Tyson to be moved on. Lever to become f.b. Omac to wing,T.Mac forward. We need a near ruckman,Gawn should play forward with only zone ruck duties.We need more mids with guts and speed. two wins up on last year is not good enough,but as a dee supporter you expect disappointment.

Did we rush Brayshaw back to soon? Admittedly was good against Saints and OK last week, but went missing today. Could have used a hard nut like Maynard in the middle today.

I thought Brayshaw was on each of our best to three quarter time. Interesting how people see things differently.

Tried his heart out. He cares. That gives him a few credits for me

It wasnt a great game from him but the way the ball came in was horrible for a defender. 

It was bad day to have a bad game though. He was much better than TMAc whose time in the frwd line has made him forget how to defend.

Why Goody keeps letting Vince play in the backline Ill never understand.

Gawn has been much worse than Watts this year is my 2 cents. Seriously needs to get to at least vfl fitness standard. Hes not marking because hes not presenting. Hes not presenting because he is 40 yards away.

Hannan has hit a wall.

That chip kicking by so many in the first 15 mins of the game was just strange.

There were just too many players that only played half a game. 

There have been too many poor starts this year where the gap is so big we cant close it.

Something needs to be done b4 the first 10 min. Goody just doesn't seem like the type to fire them up. He's very cool and thats just how some coaches coach.

I wouldnt mind him throwing the odd wobbly from time to time.

Seriously the umpires did ignore a lot of frees they should have paid us and while we were poor it may have made a difference to our %.

We need to recruit another ruckman that can play fwd another gun midfielder and another wingman and we should be ok.

Several delists for me including White, Spencer, Kennedy, Kent and Trengrove to start with. JKH and Weidman need to get show some form next year.

We are moving in the right direction at least. we won ten games last year. As disappointed as I am.....the expectations of MINE were way too high.

Hmm yeah perhaps a bit harsh, had 20 stats, but wasn't really damaging. Kicked it to nobody about 4 times, just seems a bit unsure of himself still. Will  be a gun i'm sure though.

Brayshaw was very ordinary. He didnt hit hardly any targets and manages to get his kicks smothered very often. Id like to see this particular stat. It would be out of him and Tyson to see who gets smothered more. But I dont mind Dom's kicks being smothered, it creates a 50/50.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
