It's difficult when you are at the match, yoiu only see some bits.

6/ Brayshaw

5/ Oliver

4/ Langdon

3/ Jackson

2/   now it gets difficult

2/ Harmes

1/ perhaps ANB   for the last quarter  i thought he played well

but so did Rivers Sparrow Bowey  Spargo Kossy  Weide Max Viney Tracca   et al

The 1 votes - no, no,no,  way.  Kossy was not in the best 10 players on the day. Maybe he needs a forced "rest" Spargo - average Bowser - yes, played a great game. Very reliable.

May ? ???? More like Weidemann 

One scores four (4) goals guest yome in his career and other has (4) Gour goals against for the first time in ages.

Glad  your not on the selection panel Chook.

Saw it at the ground and just watched the replay to confirm my thoughts.

6. Oliver - his ability to move at speed from contest to contest is remarkable

5. Brayshaw - this move to half back could be a masterstroke.  The Bombers showed him too little respect.

4. Langdon - the running man.  He was everywhere.

3. Gawn - his best game of the season and his third quarter in particular was leadership personified.

2. Bowey - this guy is just so composed you are almost surprised if he makes an error.

1. Weidemann - He marked almost everything and was our only forward of any effect for the bulk of the game.

Interesting that when Stringer went forward they tried to isolate him in the square with Brayshaw his opponent. He kicked two goals.

6 Clayton Oliver   A warrior   Definitely a 3-vote game 

5 Angus Brayshaw   Seemingly everywhere and linked up creativity all night

4 Ed Langdon  runs and runs and gets footy and runs 

3 Max Gawn   Battled on around the ground to drive the ball forward 

2 Joel Smith   Defensive efforts were important at key moments  

1 Sam Weeeeideman   Better attack on marking and kicked crucial goals 

apologies to May and Bowey who were solid all night

I was at the game and just sobered up.

The first three were stand outs and you could argue about the order

Oliver 

Bradshaw

Langdon ( this bloke must have a motor hidden in his jocks)

After that there's a few deserving

Jackson

Weid

Bowey

There was a lot of ****ty football and errors.

Does that make you twice as silly or only half as silly WCW?

Hey! Don’t make light of a potential alcohol problem!

BTW Uncle, you should deign to come and sit down amongst us plebs some time. Only once, let’s not get crazy here. You can see how the other half live. And you’ll learn a bunch. For instance, did you know we’ve all been mispronouncing ‘Essendon’ all these years? Yep, seems the first ‘n’ is silent.

To wit…

Jake Bowey has 17 & 13, so he really has 30!

Couldn’t resist.

    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.

    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
