Forgot about Bowey. 

Take a bow.

That's a lot of poor efforts noticed Joeboy but sadly true.

And we almost won.

Gawn - Huge Heart.  Herculean effort. Huge   

Viney - flew the flag then tried but overall not at his best at all

Petracca - nowhere in 1st half / lifted to almost bring us home in the second half, but learn to tackle , often easily pushed away or evaded 

Oliver - tried and tried and tried but many many irrelevant possessions , got better and nearly lifted us 

May - looked out of sorts early but lifted to one of the best Dees in the night - such passion and heart

Lever - big on spoils , had a few brain fades , why didn’t we keep Turner in so Lever could be intercept defender  

 Bowey - good and almost very good. Safe in disposal… an important game

Rivers - where was his energy. No go tonight … was surprisingly quiet

Salem - ummm he’s not the player of 2021 … looked slow and loose

McVee - good game … Hill got 2 early but Judd was break even tonight

Smith - had his chances - rather see him in defence  

McDonald - retire now … slow … cannot turn … 3 minutes - 2 goals 

vanRooyen - young colt - raw - overawed -  will be suspended 

Fritsch - brain fades … almost good … his defence is non existent  - players brush him off  learn to tackle !!! 

Pickett - an almost game as usual - brilliant and poor in so many passages - could have won it but it’s often a case now of almost !!! 

Neal-Bullen - good in patches - a defensive forward 

Sparrow - nowhere in 1st half then better second half

Chandler - did he play? Looked lost  

Hunter - gets the footy BUT slow to dispose of footy - must improve decision making

Hibberd - very good as stopped Elliott all night

Laurie - no no no  was lost  almost delist now 

Langdon - yes he was Sidebottom gimp but got much better in second half

I haven’t been his biggest fan this year, but Max was immense tonight. A pity that most didn’t follow the example that he led by.

The forward line was disappointing all night, as was the delivery into it.

As for TMAC - I’m sorry, but even a 1-legged Melky would’ve done better tonight. And I have no idea what we see in Smith, he is well entrenched in our bottom 6 and yet he manages to hang around on the list (I’m sure he’s a great guy and all, but he is not an AFL quality player).

Kozzie just needs to be told to go out and have fun playing footy, his heads all at sea.

I am so frustrated with this loss.  Seems yet another wasted opportunity.  No real connection in the forward line and looks like we lose Roo.  But, I cannot understand why we re-signed Schache.  A former number 2 in the national draft, us being his third club, he clearly is not up to standard and as a result, we don't select him to play, when we are in desperate need of forwards.

Yet we select a bloke that has only played 2 VFL games in 4 months.  I have the utmost respect for TMac, but sadly, I think the game has passed him by.  

We have seen the lack of separation in our forward line several times this year, yet we dominated inside 50's last night.  Surely our coaches can come up with a better plan that what we appear to have at the moment.  So bloody annoyed.

Re Tommy and Smith - best available and probably neither picked now as forwards were Petty Melksham BBB fit and available.   
But I believe they will both be needed next week especially as the impartial MRO and former Collingwood player feels the need to flex his muscles and JVR gets done (as he will).

    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 sta

    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
