Looking at the background, she may have already joined the Bombers. An experimental drug injection program would actually explain a couple of.... things.

ahh, sounds like Timbo Watson has been a 'Bizzy B'

Those keen on Aaron Hall should play close attention to where his kicks finish up. More often than not it's either straight to the opposition or OOF. That and his age and flakiness gets a big no from me.

Also - Armitage - No FFS, Miles - No unless we want to pick up someone for Casey.

how is he comparing Re numbers of possessions ?

Cotchin is a real surprise.

Be a little wary of those.  It is surprising re Cotchin I'll admit but really need to strip out some of the dinky short 1/2 handballs that add to the overall efficiency rating.

Any chance of stripping out this season's kicking efficiency stats on those players DV and putting those up also?

Kieran Collins from the Bulldogs may be worth a look as a cheap pick-up at the end of the year.  He got a one year extension last year, but may be cut or traded at the end of 2018.

Three years in and form and injuries have kept him to just the one game, but was excellent as a KPD at Under 18 and is a big bodied defender.  Still only 20 years old.

big and slow - not made for modern football

the new netball rules coming in next year may help the likes of him, but you don't need 'gorilla defenders' in modern footy with the way zoning defence works...or in our case, doesn't

He’d be cheap and a risk (and a ‘realistic target’.). FWIW, I believe there is a place for all shapes and sizes on a modern football field and a ‘gorilla’ would have been pretty handy at Kardinia Park last weekend.

well petty's debut didnt instill me with a lot of confidence, and oscar mcdonald is still someone who needs 15 men to support him so we should be moving heaven and earth to get a key defender. 

I seem to remember Frawley having bags kicked on him when our forwards and midfield applied little or no defensive pressure.Regardless if you using a zone defense or man on man, the back 6 players will always be in trouble if the rest don't do their bit.

Just finished watching The Toiges and the other mob. Nearly 3/4 of the Toiges are " irrecognisables". Yet they play really well as a team. This reinforces (to me) that sometimes we are banging our heads and hopes against the wall in thinking throwing the Southern Stand for someone to come in and save us. Apart from our Senior citizens every player on our list has an upside 10 % or even 5% improvement in the ability to run both ways AND TO SEE THE NEED FOR IT would mean we would need a massive amount of flag poles to put all the flags. Look at the improvement of Harmes, ANB, Fritsch (1st yr),Spargo .JKH,SMith and Smith  The upside of Hunt Stretch, Pretty,Baker, Balic,Hannan, Weidemann,McKenna  and others unknown .

The nucleus of our list is top quality. We just need the link men .

Most important recruit would be a running coach or Strength & Cond person . Less money than a player and we keep our keepers, not shove themout the door because of Salary cap pressures.

We have someone in form,,, we could have played on him last week... maybe even 2 players could have.  TMc and Pedo are both worthy of tackling that lump.

Frost could have moved to the wing.

At this stage I would go for Gaff and Collins,we have a few to off load anyway.

Collins?

notice how most of the tigers players can consistently kick to their team mate's advantage to? makes a MASSIVE difference. our players don't seem smart enough to do it?..

Short from the Tigers is ooc. No indication he wants to leave but he’d be a good addition and if they’re planning to sign tom Lynch he may get squeezed out.

Is he really?  is he that slow?  Whats his endurance like? 

Remember we need someone as a backup, in-case we lose some insiders to injury in 2019. 

I'm not interested in Tyson, he just doesn't use the footy anywhere near well enough, that I've seen...  Time to shuffle the deck and discard.

Without Lew & Tyson,,, we can carry a slow player as an in-under.  We just can't carry 4 slow on-ball'rs..

- - - - - --

I'm still in the Pro Pedo corner for 2019,,, for similar reasons.   I expect Weidman to start to rise next year, but he will most likely still be inconsistent you'd think.

And IF we were to cop a major injury to Hogan or TMc, we would have to rely heavily on Weides.

Pedo gives us insurance for the Ruck, Defence, and Forwardline.  Good value I think, for the cost of one season salary.

Lewis will play next year. 

Agmitage is finished. If he can’t get a game at St Kilda, he would be about 15th in line for a midfield spot.

What about Jake Lloyd from Sydney? Perfect replacement for Bernie across half back.

Has been offered a truck load of cash from the Gold Coast suns

I am confident Andy Gaff will be a Dee!

We should definitely chase an assistant coach namely ‘Blake Caracella’... Getting Blake would go along way in undoing Richmond and taking us to another level.

other players... Steven May, Darcy Moore.

I think you might be right D11. Lewis was great the other night.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes in Finals this year.   If he raises to the occasion.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
