5 Jack Viney

4 Christian Petracca

3 Tom Sparrow

2 Ed Langdon

1 Michael Hibberd

Honourable mentions;

Adam Tomlinson

Jake Melksham

James Harmes

Luke Jackson

Alex Neal-Bullen

Charlie Spargo

Ben Brown

Bayley Fritsch

Adjudication;

No real complaints. Charlie Dixon gets J C Williamson award for 'milking' a 50 metre penalty goal. "Hard" man with "soft" hands.

Broadcast;

Pleased to hear BT's repeated references to the 'Big Tree'  it is well on the way to being adopted as part of the AFL dreaming. Thank Jove the live ladder was dropped for the last quarter and FOX footy's  Kelly Underwood being 'anchored' in the South Yarra studio.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Powell-Pepper sprayed the goal front like an old tom. Desperately needs the Kossie implant.

Overall comment;

Port have improved significantly since earlier in the season. Almost a full compliment of players many in good form. Provided a seriously competitive match. Hopefully our boys will be battle hardened by September. Moggies meanwhile are aging and getting it soft.

Tentative start but improved combative performance

I'm staggered that everyone is rating Trac so high. Sometimes that clanger stat can be misleading, but not in this case. He had 10 and the rest of the team combined for 14. 

 

Think our expectations for Tracc are pretty high.

If Harmes, Sparrow, etc. got 30 possies with 17 contested, four centre clearances, nine score involvements, three goal assists and nearly 600 metres gained no one would hesitate giving them votes.

The clanger stat is always high for inside mids. The nature of having to get ball on boot in a hurry. With that said he still went at 83 percent disposal efficiency.

Apologies to Tomlinson.

Trac was BOG after Koz. 10 clearances, 3 assists. 17 contested. We don’t win without Trac today

Apologies to Tomlinson.

…and yet you give Viney 5 votes? He was awful by foot today. Even by his standards.

If you think CP’s game was overrated fair enough but not a single vote? He had 17 contested possessions. 10 clearances to Viney’s 3. 9 score involvements. He topped Viney in basically every stat.

6 - Kozzie- exceptional game

5 - Tracc - a game winner at work

4 - Langdon - provided the out

3 - Jack - worked so hard under pressure 

2 - May - kept us in it early

1 - BBB - really got involved today

the 2 / 1 vote could have gone to Hibbo, Salem, Harmes, Sparrow, JJ or Thommo.

I'll confess that I have high standards of Trac, but there is something seriously wrong with his kicking. Included in your stat line of 9 score involvements and 83% disposal efficiency was a shank in the 2 qtr that barely went 25 metres but still ended up in a 2 on 1 our way, but only a point resulted. 

Offhand, Trac seemed to get a lot of possessions in the last qtr once the game was sealed.

Hibberd SO much better than May.

Where did you see that clanger stat?

The AFL's website says that he had 4 clangers, not 10.

He led us for metres gained, was second only to Fritsch for score involvements, and was our leader for goal assists. He also had our fourth most pressure acts, meaning he added defence to that attack.

    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
