Which Dee has X-Factor?

Other teams have players with X-Factor who can turn a game in a few acts (i.e. Buddy, Cyril - until he retired, Danger, DeGoey etc) - who is our player?

Maybe Melksham?

We don't have many,,, if any... with the  'X

Which is a good thing, while we build the engine room.

 

The engine room needs to be almost a finished project, prior to making scoring easier.  The engine room needs to establish its work-rate and team ethics, while its tough going.

Hence Jeffy out and 'wattshisface' left the building.

Kenty as well, has had to learn the hard way... as is Hannan.

When will 'tracca' learn.?

Oliver.

Im surprised no one has mentioned him yet. Perhaps because he is consistently brilliant. He does things that just takes your breath away

Clarry will go forward when Viney is in the team in spurts, he will be X he is the one.

Handgun Hannan and Melk are already there.

 

Hogan when he has a 29 possession... 4 goal game

Enough to win finals .... if only

After that... Brayshaw and of course Oliver.

Petracca could be but we certainly haven't seen it yet.


Funny to think, wouldn't really call Gawn or Oliver 'x-factor' types despite the fact both have a knack for getting things moving and turning a total mess into a work of art. Ha! Suddenly I want to nickname Oliver 'Pollock'.

Same problem for Brayshaw since he found form, though I also think Brayshaw is still underrated for his ability to significantly change a situation, and it is notable that a lot of our beautiful goal->centre clearance->goal doubles this season have been because Brayshaw is just so good at getting the ball forward fast from that situation.

But surely the x-factor player has to be Melksham? That many goals, that many quality inside-50s and goal assists, that many smart breakaways to bang through a goal from point blank. One interesting feature I've noticed is that when Melksham has it, whatever happens tends to happen quickly - possibly an illusion created by the tendency to low passes and just the nature of playing half-forward. But it is entertaining. Entertaining is part of the x-factor equation, isn't it?

can play anywhere on the ground, and is a hard match when put forward

Agree here... harmes would fly right under the radar but always seems to brush off a tackle or two and make things happen 

Only in recent weeks.  Before this, quite the opposite I thought.  But yes he is looking much improved.

When Petracca realises how good he can be; you can add him to that list.

Clarrie is surely the one at the moment.

Harmes is pushing.  

But certainly Tracc could be: I think he realizes but can’t / won’t deliver, yet.

Melksham. The bloke just increases the Melbourne demons' score, regardless of how it happens.


Im loving that 2/3 of the team have been nominated.

Edited by small but forward

Mitch Hannan has some I reckon and even James harmes has the speed to break lines and kick multiple goals

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
