Jesse

  • There were rumours on here that we are into Brody Mihocek. Tom Browne says Collingwood are interested in Jesse Hogan.
  • We've all put a lot of time into feeding Cornes' Hogan to Essendon idea.
  • If Hogan can find it in him to you know actually kick a goal maybe we might all start getting off his back.
  • Top 5 paid at the club and we're all satisfied with his output.
    • Don't worry about goals Hoges, just keep taking contested marks on the wing over Baker's head (175cm). Excellent return on investment.
  • If Hogan and Lobb were kicking 40/30 goals each I'd be open to trading Tabs. But they're not. Both seem mentally shot when it comes to kicking at the big sticks.
  • Hogan’s biggest issue is Tabs. You don’t see Kennedy run in front of Darling or Darling run in front of Kennedy. Tabs just gets in every other forwards way. The amount of times he spoils Lobb, bowls over Schultz and cuts off leads is a joke.
    • Hogan has done fu** all for us in two years. He's the one that needs to get out of the way. When was the last time he kicked a goal??
  • It's starting to look like a pretty bad decision to get Hogan instead of King and Hill. King especially looks like a damn good player for the next 10 years.
  • We'd be moronic to even consider trading him, would be one of the dumbest moves we've ever made if we did.
  • Hogan runs down the ground into space but as he starts to turn Taberner had already thrown the ball onto his boot and straight into the a rms of a Melbourne player.
  • We works his [censored] off on the field, keep him in and the cohesion will build.
  • Melbourne are playing for their season. So expect a walk over. Hogan will be off the leash.
  • Hogan will go off against Melbourne tomorrow, just got a feeling.

Everything else

  • Seven changes for Melbourne?? Aren’t they still in the mix for a finals spot?
  • No need to make changes. We are clearly going far better than what I thought we were!!!
    • Yeah the teams lost 3 of their last 4 games, we're flying.
  • Langdon's kicking is still nightmarish, feel bad for Melbourne supporters.
  • Melbourne are coming off a 4 day break. Got embarrassingly beaten by Sydney. Of course they were going to bring changes. But 7? That could be overkill, upset the whole chemistry or the team.
  • Big outs for Melbourne. Angus Brayshaw, Jones, Harmes, Wagner, Brown. Pretty meh Ins. Press maybe tall, but we have a huge chance at a win here.
  • Conca straight to Petracca? Or Oliver perhaps? 
  • I'd expect Melbourne to be less complacent but a win for us here is important for morale.
  • Melbourne and finals type conditions do not go together.
  • Been watching a bit of Melbourne lately. May is in some good form so Taberner will have to play a blinder. May does really well to edge the Key forward too far ahead of the drop of the ball, but I think Tabs is a pretty good judge of the flight of the ball and he's got the strength to hold his own.
  • Petracca is on fire lately, will be an interesting matchup whoever he gets.
  • Melbourne very hit and miss. Look like trash against Sydney right now. Feel like we might match up fairly well against them.
  • Melbourne are so crap.
  • Expect them to come out breathing fire. Tabs vs Lever and Hogan vs Day would be great. Tabs should dominate Lever. Both midfield stack up.
  • Tabs, Hogan and Lobb experiment should continue. Either we're too tall, or our crumbers aren't up to it. We need to figure out what's going on in our fwd half.

Freo supporters think Josh Wagner is a big out for us.

Does his dad barrack for the Dockers?

    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.
