ELECTRIC

The dashing youngster with the shock of blond hair progressed well in 2017. His electric speed and long kicking often allowed him to not only break up lines, but also to greatly unsettle opposing teams.

Just the type of exciting player footy fans love to watch, someone who keeps the turnstiles clicking over. And a bit of a character to boot (glad we didn't give him the boot a couple of years ago)!!!

Hmm!

It's  Super...Hunt !!  Able to run faster than a locomotive.( well metro ...not too hard ) .. fly for a mark ( sometimes )  kick further than a Pyongyang missile.

By day an average guy...on weekends  he dons his favourite headband and takes on all enemies !!

 

Too much  ??

Became our only 'creator' and teams shut him down and us in the second half of the year.

Really good player though, has trouble hitting spot up kicks but with Hogan up the ground next year will have more room to work with.

Seemed to have a quieter second half to the season but then again so did most of the team. IIRC some teams were tagging him which may have limited his impact.

Will be interesting to see how he goes with Lever in the team.

they were indeed ...big time

Normally attention to one member of a team releases others...we didnt quite take advantage of that...over to you Simon  ;)

Great player. I would be considering him for the wing.

plays a very high back flank...not much of an ask to get a bit jiggy in the middle. Suspect this will happen esp with Lever coming in...and others....umm...out

Fast becoming, if not already, my favourite player.  Love the way he goes about it- tough, exciting and damaging.

Started the year in amazing form, but stuttered a bit following the concussion in Adelaide.

Key component to out team going forward in the future.

Needs to learn to down gear from 5th to 3rd when he gets himself clear at times.  This will help with his vision and ability to hit targets. 

Confident that he will learn to do that.

Think he's started to do that already.

Well, well, well...isn’t this kid a bit spesh

Love his run and carry, his intensity, he doesn’t mind a tackle and his spot up kicking is getting better all the time

He’s a smart player and will hopefully continue to become an absolute vital part of our side

He’s so important to us in the way he launches that springboard style that we like to play

He’s actually a better defender than Hibberd in my view, so I don’t mind him continuing to be more of a back flanker where Hibberd plays slightly higher

They certainly complement each other nicely

He does play wing at times, half back at times, forward to pressure at times, last line of defence at times , he is so quick l miss what he is doing at times. However I don't miss him all of the times.  just some times. SOMETIMES l watch the replay to catch on what he does.

sometimes.

    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.

    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
