I'm just all round happy for the guy. He's someone who has not been handed anything to him and worked his butt off. His ability to chase, tackle and get scoring opportunities was a big part of what ke

I was really happy for Chandler he settled straight into the game he showed his toughness and as Dazzle mentioned his elite kicking skills inside 50, he worked hard and was relentless in a fast flowing game. He really should have nailed that shot after the siren but did enough for a starting 22 next week.!!!

Just watched the mini package on Kayo. Plenty of highlights from chandler. Blocking kicks off the mark, goal assists, tackles and slotted a nice goal off his left in the 3rd. only blot was the missed set shot but their were worse misses on the night.

You have to reward that performance. He should be given a run of 3-4 games from here.

really impressed the way he threw his weight around against in contests against much bigger players.

The impending Pickett suspension should see him get a good run of games in.

So @DeeSpencer, Kade just scored an AFLCA vote for his performance, in the resounding win against a rated opposition in the Swans:

9 Clayton Oliver (MELB)

7 Christian Petracca (MELB)

6 Ed Langdon (MELB)

6 Brodie Grundy (MELB)

1 Lachie Hunter (MELB)

1 Kade Chandler (MELB)

 

Surely his value is up above the $2.00 Mark now?

Given a fair run at it, Kade has settled admirably with his confidence growing weekly. Now the radar is set he is delivering offensively on top of a sound defensive game. Given the degree of difficulty, he kicked some clutch goals against the swannies. Refreshing to see some new faces up forward this season. May the goals keep coming.

Hit a record high of $2.45 after the coaches votes, but has now settled at $2.25.

Work rate, strong hands and good tackle numbers are all positives. Hitting the scoreboard well. Decision making with the ball seems to have settled down.

Would still like to see a bit more speed and pressure.

That play and his subsequent goal swung all the momentum back in our favour after Sydney got within a kick.

dude sitting in front of me turned around after that and was all "my god he SPRINTED from wing to wing then down it into 50 then back to the other side to mark that..."

What a brilliant video! Actually outlining some of the great running he does. 

If you don't know now you know!

Some people should be embarrassed with their cringeworthy posts in this thread and lack of footy knowledge

In the first three games this year Kade is ranked elite in 6 different categories according to greg Stafford.

Outstanding young man who has played brilliantly in a very difficult role as a small forward.

Has become a lock in our best 22 imo.

Just works so hard for the entire four quarters constantly pushing up the ground.

Has become a real asset for the team.

Even if didn't get the goal or even a possession, it still would of been impressive because he was prepared to do hard gut running with 100% commitment even though there was only a possibility of a goal or possession

Fast becoming a favourite of mine. He is one of those players who is always nipping at your ankles. Chases, harasses, tackles then gets up and creates an option moving forward and kicks goals. I’d love to see a bit of mongrel in his game and get in the oppositions face occasionally. Not sure that is his style tho..

A little more mongrel, or even arrogance, and I think he could be our version of Tom Papley - who most opposition supporters hate but Swans fans love.  Papely makes most teams nervous but then can bring his teammates to life running around like a excited toddler after he kicks a goal. If Chin can bring that into his game he'd also help the likes of Kossie because there's automatic extra attention paid elsewhere.

He is what he is and we should be happy. He’s tough and hard at the contest. That’s good enough. 
Mongrels are born. Don’t believe you can suddenly develop Mongrel. Toby Greene was born that way. No one coached him to add the mongrel component.

First three rounds this year Chandler is ranked elite in the following categories:

  • Goal Accuracy
  • Goal Assists
  • Score Involvements
  • Tackles inside 50
  • Kick Efficiency
  • Marks
  • Ranking Points

My mistake, its seven categories that he ranks elite for.

Just so happy for him. Did his time. Never complained. Was always just so happy for his senior teammates. Improved his craft and now he’s flying. You just love to see that! 

This.

On the subject, check out his reaction in the background when JVR got his holding the ball free prior to his third goal. Great stuff.

    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
