6. Clayton Oliver....Runs his absolute guts out all day and is adding layers to his game by taking responsibility and care with disposals, could win Brownlow if he continues on this path.

5. Christian Salem....Have not seen him play a more influencial game, showed urgency and was constantly breaking lines.  Been pretty harsh on Salem at times for cruising and not doing enough for the talent he has.  Many more games like this please, we become a much better team with him playing at such a level.

4. Adam Tomlinson...Has been an absolute rock down back, can play on bigs or smalls and just seems to be doing the right thing so often.  I breathe easier when he is in the vicinity.

3. Kysaiah Pickett....His best game by far.  Every time he gets near the ball you can sense that anything is about to happen.  Has so much x-factor about him he is going to be a ridiculously good player.  i got the feeling Pickett/Spargo are feeding off this thing called pressure and they love to create it.   They both are so exciting atm!

2. Ed Langdon....Just another game for him, but he just works so hard and consistently creates options.  Love him as a player, he is getting better too!

1. Christian Petracca....Not overly his night, he fluffed so many opportunities!  He worked so hard in the 2nd half to exert his influence around the stoppages, and turned an average game, into a good one in the end.  He just needs to play his role, stop trying to do too much at times and play the percentages a little more.

Host of players unlucky to get votes but pretty damn proud of just the overall effort from the whole team.   Hard to pick any passengers from that game.  Hunt/Brayshaw perhaps the least influencial but both played their roles really well.   Guys like Melksham/Hibberd/Dawes are really going to have to bash the door down to get a look in.  FInally players have to earn their spots. Bodes well for our future!

How so many can have Pickett out of the votes astounds me. His influence over the game was immense. We desperately lack speed class and pressure up forward. 

If he can get 17+ touches most games we are in for a great year

Honourable mention to the entire small forward brigade - Spargo, ANB et al. - before this season, I thought that our success would hinge on our forward pressure. Round 1 showed we might be able to win in other ways but round two belonged to our small forwards whose pressure was off the charts.

Coaches Votes:

9 Salem

9 Oliver

5 Gawn

3 Pickett

2 Petracca

1 Steele

1 Tomlinson

Only Salem, Oliver and Gawn received votes from both coaches. 

Surprise Steele only got 1 vote between both coaches. He impresses me as a player.

Well done to Salem for getting the 5 from one of the coaches.

That spread of votes (mostly comprising Dees players) is more reflective of a 7+ goal win.

I didn't get around to voting, but if votes were being given for excitement value, he would have got my top votes. But for actual performance, I can understand why he wasn't in everyone's votes. The wide spread of names in the votes shows how even the perfromance was across the board. Pickett missing out is no insult to his performance.

For what it's worth my votes would be:

6. Oliver

5. Salem

4. Gawn

3. Petracca

2. McDonald

fair enough, I guess we all see if differently. As evidenced by one coach giving him 3 votes and the other none!

6. Clarry - Oh boy...what more can you say!

5. Salem - Busboy of the MFC

4. May - Stonewall

3. ANB - The everywhere man.  Gets to the right spots so often and often the first link receiver (distributor) around congestion.  Appeared to be on Jones or near him much of the time.  Got the ball often enough to keep him quiet.  Pressure and run first rate.  Presented well for many link up plays both marking and score involvements on the night.  A few clangers but one of his more productive effective games for the club IMV.

2. Tracc - Lots of possessions. Many of them extracted under heavy pressure / traffic and difficulty.  Lots of wasteful disposals though including reckless shots / bombs at goal.  Rolls out onto his right automatically far too often for my liking without assessing first.  On Sat this often saw him facing no clear target/s to kick to and he then dumped it to no man's land for nil advantage, a rushed behind or the turnover/rebound.  Mixed amongst that was some great running and evasive work to present and mark on the lead.  Fix some of the flaws he could end up as one of the greats and just maybe win a Chas.

1.  Kozzie, Kozzie Kozzie! - 19 years of age in only his 16th match and we see a glimpse of an emerging star of the comp.  Lots of work to do but Kozzie ain't waiting.  He's obviously decided now is as good a time as any to say "HELLO" to the AFL comp.  That was electric and can't say i've seen anything like it in a small package at Demonland since the Wiz hit the seen in 95/96.  I still recall the mark over Gazza against the Tigers at the G.  That was billed as a big day for the Tigers with a huge build up from them aiming for a win or small loss to make finals (a bit like our final round disaster against the Pies in 2017) and we came out and walloped them with the Wiz flying like a bird over the pack to take that screamer.  For those not old enough to recall...

This is the sort of stuff that can turn a club's fortunes right around and drag a stack of extra fans through the turnstiles...

    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.
