Gawn - overwhelmed and outplayed

Viney - disappointing and careless 

Petracca - couldn’t lift team

Oliver - disposals regularly amateurish 

May - dominated his opponent 

Salem - tentative and loose

Rivers - lacked expected drive

Langdon - continued disappointing year

McVee - calm under pressure 

Pickett - hard to rate

Lever - controlled the defense 

Spargo - some deft touches

Chandler - little impact again 

Fritsch - just some cameos 

McDonald - couldn’t justify selection 

Neal-Bullen - seemingly no role

Tomlinson - effective albeit loose

Bowey - poor under pressure 

Hunter - couldn’t provide connection 

Smith - provided some energy

Jordan - had no influence 

Sparrow - an almost game

Just about nailed it.

Thing is... sometimes the description is seen as unnecessarily patronising or remonstrative....

But this is actually just very...matter of fact.

This is what they were. 

Have no doubt they played their guts out...

But...   no chocolates...

We admittedly had more than 3 good players. We lost the game through conversion, plain and simple. We controlled that game and had far more better players then them.

My 5 word or under analysis 

Gawn - outplayed but tried

Viney - no real impact

Petracca - couldn't get involved

Oliver - wasteful with ball

Kozzie - more cold than hot

May - well played mate

Lever - did his job

Bowey - barely seen

McDonald - did he even play?

Chandler - Bedford is much better

McVie - damn good year

Salem - still off his best

Spargo - one of his best

Smith - tried 

Hunter - ok, nothing special

Langdon - slipped too often

Jordan - move him on

Tomlinson - good luck next year

Neal-Bullen - little impact really

Rivers - quiet game, but big future

Fritsch - underdone but still classy

Sparrow - one tough unit

Schacke - did as much as TMac

Ump # 22 - Carlton's 3 votes

Not according the win to the maggots.... but maggots they were...well 2 especially. 

Some decisions were unwarranted and game affective.

Just is.

We lost that game like we have lost every game over the last few years. Close. Maybe a few calls that went against us.. but ultimately it comes down to missed opportunity.

This was the last hurrah with this game plan. We should have won last week if we picked correctly. We didn't. Laurie and Schache as sub were the oddest choices all season.

Laurie wasn't he had done well in Rounds 23 and 24. Trouble was he had all day instead of about a quarter to play last week. Should have been back as sub again snd in last quarter  he might quite easily have won It for us with some skill and conversion.

    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
