Viney - importantly found form

Neal-Bullen -season best game

Petracca - dynamic high achiever 

Oliver - continued Brownlow form

Brayshaw - season best game 

Langdon - four consistent quarters

Fritsch - mercurial and important

Brown - provided solid target

Salem - was rarely flustered 

Harmes - played important role

Lever - steady and safe

Spargo - not his best

Rivers - calm and composed

Please, anyone can 'take a defender' and allow others space.   He's not a decoy, he's there to kick goals.  He was well below his best and barely got near it.  4 possessions from a roaming forward with his tank is not good.

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Fritsch seems to play decoy some weeks and he is our leading goal kicker. Selfless footy is standing us in good stead.

You know, players don't have to have high stats  to play well. I watched TMac tonight and he played an important role in clearing space, that is what makes a great team, like when Gus was getting low stats, but played the defensive wing position and the sacrifices he made were so important. I give the whole team my 3 word analysis.

 

Great team Effort

Mathieson: BOG for us. 

He is an absolute [censored] on the field. Pseudo tough guy. Hitting guys who don't want to retaliate and get suspended.

PS. How does the word id iot get censored?

@Basher wondering what you're laughing at?

I thought Rivers looked a bit nervous early in the first, with some uncharacteristicly rushed disposal and position, but settled well and played his role. 

Of all Joeboys 3 words it was the one I didn't agree with.

Cmon he was average at best, I’d replace him for the prelim, he’s got to do more than be a decoy.

Melksham or the Weid for mine

You want to bring Weideman back in for a prelim when he hasn't played since Queen's Birthday?

No way. It's not happening barring injury.

Melksham at least has been in the seniors at some point in the last 3 months.

There are a lot of punchable heads in the AFL. But this guy is not only a complete nuffy he’s also a bloody average footballer. At least Toby Greene is a gun.

Brayshaw - season best game

Yep, and not unexpected either

Big occasion player as he possesses an important quality - Class.  In his element tonight

His deft touches, knock ons & release possessions were immense.  High IQ player.  His wing was often the attacking aspect tonight 

I had him as one of our best players tonight along with Max, ANB, Clarry,  Viney,  Petracca & Salem

Gawn was B.O.G ... the man is an absolute warrior.  What a player & leader!!

Anyone who thinks Brayshaw is a poor player has no idea. This is by far his best season ever. 3rd in the Brownlow can get stuffed. Give me 15 years of this from any player and I'll be rapt.

What we now know about Brayshaw is that he is the ultimate team player

He's a natural onballer/link player/released player who is needed to shore up a wing in a defensive role.  And he does it without any fanfare

But tonight was different ... suddenly his wing became an avenue of attack and Gus was front and centre.  Kudos

We had many good players tonight but a few who have previously copped flak shone through ... notably ANB,  Viney & Gus.   Rivers was back to his better form as well.  Looked assured all night

    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.

    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
