We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

Gus had a  ripping 1st qrt today and ripper game last week.

Dodgy decisions and poor kicking sees our  down 4  to 5 goals.

Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

Harmes with 20 touches.

Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

Ain't over just yet DJ. Don't forget we've played a lot of footy in a short period of time the past 18 days.

Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

    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.
