Lol, those "Baby Bombers", hey? One player in the 40 man squad, but that won't stop the AFL media from frothing about them. The Baby Bombers thing is a myth.

Didn’t David King say we had to win the flag this year, because the Dogs have the oncoming talent to wrap it up for the next 3 or 4? He really has no idea.

The Dogs will add Darcy to their list this year as FS that will give them 3 young key forwards with Naughton.  This is the only area we don't have any real young talent

If we can keep the Perth trio signed on and happy in Melbourne we're pretty well set up for some consistent football for quite some time. The three of them have such high ceilings. We're clearly drafting very well the last few years but the player development within the club has been outstanding. So keen to see how Rosman, Laurie, Turner and Smith develop with a few preseasons under their belt.

To me there's only a handful of players who have had a bit of time at the club with whom the jury is still out whether they can perform at AFL level and thats Baker, Bedford and Chandler. Its as much about our depth probably keeping them from opportunity then anything else as well.

I've left out the two mid season recruits. As you can see from footywire's squad list they're still a bit too young to play AFL yet.

But geez, they’d look adorable running out in their little red and blue onesies.

Hopefully Laurie and Rosman as well. Skies the limit for this group.!!!

Two greats to come amongst a couple of others (whose names I cannot instantly remember) to strengthen how we are going to look in 2022.

Yes, there are new umpires coming through to replace Margetts and Razor Ray.

Superb response, MR.

Don't overlook Petty in front of goals ... time will come.

I hope Petty can take May's spot in 2-3 years and continue on with Lever down back.  We have Fritsch and Weiderman I think both are around 24 years old, I haven't given up on Weiderman just needs to stay healthy through pre-season

Can't remember exactly which year but didn't he debut, perhaps prematurely, v Saints after which many here vilified him and called for his immediate delisting (if not dismemberment)?

His purported failure was entirely due to a coaching failure. In the last quarter of a close game, his first, he was left one out in the goal square against a saintless forward (I think Bruce) who was just too strong and too experienced and was able to score. It was the failure by the coaches that cost us the game.

May and Lever and even Petty would make sure that this will not happen again.

Bedford and Chandler in particular have had no chance to develop given the lack of VFL in the past  couple of years.  Having said that I agree that their positions on the list are questionable.

Good point you make, it would be a cruel cut considering that  they've had little to no opportunity to play. I have sympathy for any player that gets cut this year, but we know the list has to turnover.. Looking at the players coming out of contract this years there's only 2 players who I think will retire. Many of the rest will be on tenterhooks:

Senior List:

  • Baker
  • Bedford
  • Hore
  • Jetta - probable retirement
  • Jones Probable retirement
  • Lockhart
  • Hibberd 
  • Smith.J 
  • VDB
  • Weideman 

Rookies:

  • Brown.M
  • Chandler
  • Daw
  • Nietschke
  • Smith.D
  • Bradtke
  • Declase
  • Turner

    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.
