its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury. 

I heard he was dead halfway through the first…

Out BBB continued his woeful form.  Got outmarked again & again. In Tomlinson. Has to be an improvement.

BBB was good particularly in the first quarter, when the game was hot and needed to be won.

Bowey is struggling? He was perfectly fine tonight. Played his role.

Not struggling, but he’s fumbling some tough ground balls and losing some winnable aerial contests. I think his speed and smarts still give him the edge, but down back there’s at least genuine pressure for spots.

Agree, no change for next week.  As an aside I heard Neal Bullen say on ABC radio after the game that Viney’s speech to the players prior to the game and at half time was inspirational.

Just like Gawney in last year’s GF told the coaches to keep Jacko on the ground in the centre bounces in the 3rd quarter  I wouldn’t put it past him to let Viney speak to the playing group come this GF when we are playing whoever if he thinks it will help the crew.

If Gawn plays I will be disappointed. I love the guy but get him right. Don't take a risk with him.

I wouldn't mind seeing Disco coming back he was good until he got knocked out but Rivers is the obvious choice if we drop bowzer.

If Viney has the slightest niggle rest him until the finals.

He's a clean as Oliver at ground balls as a rule. He didn't nail them last night, but we were rarely caught out defensively after the first quarter, so he executed his role.

Bedford deserves a run of games. 2 very well taken goals, applied pressure and linked well with kossie a few times. 

no changes for me

yep, forward line had a nice balance last night, was good to see the small forwards dancing around the slow Brisbane backline.

Um I dont think Bowey is in the side to win aerial contests. Often he stays out of them.

I think his form of late has been ordinary, perhaps Rivers in.....

Was that a call out to the WINGers club?

Hopefully no change, but slightly worried about how Viney's corky might pull up during the week.

I guess Dunstan in for him if it's needed.

He will be fine.  We have another 9 day break to the next game.

Wild horses and wild bulls couldn't keep him from playing.

Even if Max wants to play I would give him another week off. No change

Yeah, bring him back for the following one vs Geelong.  Because of the bye/fixturing it will be about 3.5 weeks since the injury.

He said a highlight of 2021 was beating Geelong three times!!  Like their feline mascot, they would be hissing and spitting at that comment. 

He won't want to miss a trip to the kittens' playground.  Inflict more hurt.

    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

    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
