disagree on Bate and Dunn, agree on Jamar and Brown. Sylvia needs to take a long hard look at himself and go in and get the ball, just because you go at no. 3 doesn't mean your gunna make it

Agree on everything but the Bell assessment.

Yet again, the guy gets no credit. He did an incredible job on O'Keefe, the sort of player who always rips us apart.

After being smashed in the head 3 weeks in a row, he stood tall again tonight and was composed. His disposal is getting better and better.

I think that you have to give credit to both Bell and Rivers who, time and time again, are willing to leave their opponent and help out a teammate.

Being a defender in times like these, is truly a horrible job.

Bate was much better this week, but a real pity about the injury.

Miller should never EVER be put in the position he was put in tonight. He has played one good game on Hall, where Hall kicked badly. He is a completely different player up forward, and gives us a target when everyone else is down. His goal kicking is ordinary (maybe he's gone to the Cameron Bruce school of kicking?), but his overall disposal is getting better and smarter every week.

He's making real progress up forward, why shatter his confidence by letting Hall rip him apart? Thank god the experiment only lasted a quarter.

White got beaten badly

PJ actually looked OK when he was put into the ruck, in the limited time he had contesting the ruck work he looked better than White and Jamar.

I agree with this. White is the most overated player on our list. If we rucked with Jamar and Johnson, we would do no worse in the ruck or around the ground than we already are.

I thought Sylvia has struggled when he is put forward. I thought he actually did a lot better tonight when moved to half back.

White's game was extremely disappointing. I think he needs to play the Peter Moore Ruckman roll now where he plays a kick behind play. I was hoping this was going to be Jamar's year, but he's almost gone - provided nothing tonight.

Bell was good.

I haven't seen a replay as yet but mine and my dads initial opinions were fairly similar to joeboy's.......

Apart from Bell who was good, despite a shocking kick for goal in the third and a couple of errors, he was given a tough assignment on O'keefe and held him pretty well. He definitely deserves a hell of a lot more credit than he gets. He was everywhere and against the odds damn good.

Miller was leading all day and again worked very hard and looked pretty good (his goal kicking still needs work obviously but he took some nice marks, which can only be a good thing for his confidence), after the first fifteen or so minutes, and should never be put back again. There was a noticeable groan from the crowd when he went to Hall in the beginning.

And his switch forward, which automatically made us look better, could possibly have been the quickest positional change Daniher has ever made!!!

Petterd had a really great debut and his goal in the last was great to watch, Davey was fantastic, Yze didn't completely suck, Bruce got a lot of ball but didn't seem do a hell of a lot with it (he needs to have some target practice), and Godfrey seemed to be everywhere and trying very hard.

But the problems were in the middle, again, I am not sure just how many clearances we actually won but it really couldn't have been too many. The ease in which the Swans were taking it away and out of the middle was embarrassing. And this is despite the full hearted effort from Moloney.

Johnstone- very lazy, has to improve his work ethic

P Johnson - Showed more than jamar and used his body well in the ruck against spider and found the ball around the ground

C. Johnson - showed improvement, and more game time will see him improve, but he needs to consistently go for the hard ball like he did last year against the saints and eagles

Bate -unfortuneately injured, but all he needs is time and experience and will improve

Petterd - outstanding debut performance

Garland - made no impact, that's because there was no impact to be made with the way sydney dominated the game

Bell - Getting better with each game he plays, and has been consistently one of our best

Miller - Needs to gain some more strength, with the way bazza handled him and needs to take more contested grabs to make his presence felt

Godfrey - very poor, disposal was no good and the only reason he beat goodes was his injury

Sylvia - same as bate, but he is recovering from injury, although someone needs to teach him the right way to go at the ball like mclean does

Jamar - made no impact, useless in the ruck and up forward, doesn't no how to read the ball in the air and kicking was poor and he will probably be delisted unless he can doing something about it

IMO... just a couple that came to mind after watching a tape of the replay...

Carroll - Better than Miller

P Johnson - Better than Jamar

Yze - Not too bad

Petterd - Boy can play !!!

Johnstone - So completely frustrating

Davey - Was very good

Miller - Showed up forward

Moloney - Back at best

Godfrey - Was not worst

Bruce - Skills are shabby

White - Need more from

Jamar - Should be dropped (but wont becuz of lack of height)

McDonald - Uncharacteristically without impact

Other than those... i agree with most of what has been said of the others.

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
