A bit tough on White and Whelan and not tough enough on Aaron Davey who didn't look interested in my opinion.

Daniel Bell - a shining light (along with Jones).

Jeff White was shocking today, absolutely shocking.

He is a ruckman, and should therefore be judged on his rucking, which today was pathetic (he can't hit the damn thing to advantage!). He got beaten by a nobody.

His disposal around the ground was also ordinary. He made some huge errors with the ball, and dropped some seaters.

One of his worst performances.

Whelan was Whelan.

Davey needs to be dropped. Chasing from behind is just not enough.

Bell, Moloney and Jones... all under 23, and all full of heart.

The rest were on the wrong side of rubbish. Be it in their disposal, their hardness, or their willingness to chase.

White was terrible around the ground, but smashed Blake in the ruck. Try hitting the ball to advantage when your midfielders are not as hungry as the Cats.

Agree on Whelan.

Davey needs to be dropped. Agree. Or maybe he's injured. God knows.

Here's a thought.. Aaron Davey is cheesed off that his brother, who trained with Melbourne over the summer, was not picked up. Instead he went to the Bombers. So, maybe he's not really happy and is expressing it in his play????... Hmmmm. Otherwise, how can you explain the 'hero to zero' path so fast?

I actually thought Ferguson's game was quite good and it was mistake to keep him on the bench in the second half.

Bate and Davey both need to be dropped.

Someone rang triple m and said that Davey is struggling with an injury from the all star game. I'm not convinced, he looks fit enough. Just out of touch.

Can't drop them all (mmm, not a bad idea though !) , but we need several changes so players who are not performing realise there is a price to pay. Bizell, CJ, Byron P in plus one new player is worth a try. Pity if Sylvia is injured and Moroney ! Can things get any worse !

Just reading best players on "real footy" and Nathan Carrol is in the mix - normally I rate him but he has been beaten 3 out of 3 games this season - shows how good we are going when he is named in the best....

Maybe it was meant to be the other Nathan - JONES - he tries his heart out and nevers shirks a contest - he wants that ball.......maybe forget the 3 words for every player this week and just put

LEARN FROM JONES

next to all of them - a 18/19 year old kid who has more oomph and desire than the rest of the team put together!

A future star!!!

Paul Johnson showed something. He is definitely a better option down back than Holland - he is quicker, has more footy smarts and has better disposal, he needs to work on his marking but so does Benny. His effort in front of the MCC members when he chased 3 times from the half back flank to the wing without receiving any help at all from any other Melbourne players should be compulory viewing for all of them.

Not up to AFL standard. White, Yze, Ferguson, Brown, Wheatley, Holland, Ward, Godfrey

HOORAY FINALLY- bate should be dropped...all the fans around me today we were saying hurray when daniher finally dragged him late in the game. I'm not convinced.., didnt want to go in and get the ball..better off at a club winning and getting cheap kicks.

I agree completely with that.. i think we need to talk about Jeff White- beaten by a hack, and just cant play the ruck well since the smaller circle has been brought in a couple of years ago. Isn't the same and his well past his best- should look into trading him if he continues his current form, we'll wait and see

Agree with u in all thoes except Fergs. First game back and started ok, took some nice marks. It was hard for defenders today as the ball kept coming in there. Davey was ordinary again. My best mate bate, well hes struggeling. I suggested he go forward but didnt ever mark it. Some worries i think. From what i saw today i would like Garland, Pettard and Newton to get a run with Biz and drop Bell - who was as ordinary as most of the players. Racked possessions but ineffective kicks and handballs.

    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.
