So happy for Turner. I'm blown away in his growth ans development since his time with the Murray Bushrangers last year. I bumped into him at the local gym over the summer and was shocked to see h

Hunty has been very solid, playing in an unfamiliar role, for most of the season. Sure, he has lowered his colours (quite badly) over the last two weeks, but I would argue that the absence of May, an

Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back. 

Yep, we are really missing reasonable rebound and eyes-up midfielders.

The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height. 

That was when he was recruited.  Anyone stood next to him at VFL huddles to asses??

Bayley is not going to play CHF , expect Petty to start there . Turner will be FB and Mitch or Ben will start on the bench . Dees to win by 56 pts.

So you reckon Lever and Turner as our only key defenders, and then Petty, Brown and Brown, with Jackson to rotate, all playing forward? Nah.

Blokes of the quality of Tommo and Hunt getting dropped shows that our depth is still good

would be fantastic if Turner develops quickly as we need another tall option back as Smith is constantly injured

Nothing against M Brown but if Weids can't get a game whats that saying about Weids???

Gotta rely on B Brown and Fritch to kick a few each and supported by the smalls inc Trac

I think everyone knows what it says about Sam - Goodwin said in his presser he has been told he needs to improve (my words significantly) on certain things - my guess is 

- not being easily pushed off the ball

- bringing the ball to ground and stopping his opponent marking

- compete with some aggression when not in possession 

- heaven forbid kick a few goals 

- run hard to create space and an option for players up the field 

there may be more I don’t know but whatever it is he’s not close to a recall based on what I’m hearing unless he starts playing with a bit more physicality

I'm not so sure re Petty at CHF CoolX.  If my memory serves me correct, going on what Goody hinted in yesterday's pressor, BBB & Mitch more than likely the  starters up forward.

Not saying we won't swing Petty up forward at some stage but if we're playing 'the Demon way' i doubt it.  If he goes forward it's probably going to be in hope if the two talls (announced in starting line up) fail to fire.

This is all absolutely correct and just about applies in equal measure to Jackson.

20 of last years Grand Final 23 are playing.  Missing Rivers, TMac and May.  That's a very strong side.

Two pretty major key spine (book end)  players though Swooper and don't really have genuine replacements for either.

However, if Turner slots in tomorrow he might cover off Maysie's role.  Who knows he might even play a ripper.

Then fingers crossed at least one of Mitch, BBB or Dogga can fire up in F50 to give us something.  Surely one of them can get going.  Third time lucky!?

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
