👏👏👏

Banno is very deserving of the #6 guernsey.

    Reading this reminds me we traded out Libby Birch, Maddi Gay and Eliza West. Not sure where and how the incomers covered for - or, better, improved upon - these. Thoughts?

    And in a related matter, a bit of LOL...

    It appears Libby B is freed from 2023's shackles of being both an Age columnist and a Melbourne player, where she always had to tip Melbourne: she is the only one of the 14 Age 'Experts' tipping Freo.

     

    p.s. I hope this post doesn't come back to bite me...

    No. 3 – Alyssia Pisano

    New recruit Alyssia Pisano has taken the number 3 guernsey this season, following Maddi Gay moving to Essendon during the 2023 Trade Period.

    Pisano was drafted to the club with pick number 5, coming to the Dees from the Eastern Ranges.

    No. 9 – Georgia Gall

    Previously wearing number 27, Gall will don the number 9 previously worn by Libby Birch, who moved to North Melbourne in the 2023 Trade Period.

    Gall was picked in the 2022 AFLW draft as a cross coder from the Melbourne Stars BBL cricket team, and made her debut in Round 9 2023 against Fremantle.

    No. 11 – Delany Madigan

    Taken at pick number 55 in the 2023 draft, Madigan hails from the Eastern Ranges.

    She will wear the number 11 guernsey formerly worn by Eliza West, who moved to Hawthorn in the 2023 Trade Period.

    No. 12 – Ryleigh Wotherspoon

    With Georgina Fowler retiring at the end of the 2023 season, Ryleigh Wotherspoon will take the number 12 guernsey.

    Chosen at pick number 12 in the draft, Wotherspoon is an established cricket player and has recently returned to football, training with Brisbane AFLW to build her skills.

    No. 16 – Grace Beasley

    Taking the guernsey vacated by Alyssa Bannan, Grace Beasley will wear the number 16 in 2024.

    Beasley was recently signed as a rookie, filling the final list spot. Beasley has been playing college basketball since 2018 and will return to her native Melbourne for the 2024 season. The 170cm guard first came to recruiters’ attention as a 17-year-old, and brings new skills and leadership experience to the group.

    No. 19 – Grace Hill

    Hill, who moved from GWS in the 2023 Trade Period, will retain the number 19 she wore in Giants colours.

    The number 19 at Melbourne was worn in 2023 by Jordan Ivey, who was delisted at the end of the season.

    No. 25 – Jacinta Hose

    With Samantha Johnson returning to Casey VFLW at the completion of the 2023 season, she leaves the number 25 guernsey available to Jacinta Hose.

    Hose was selected with pick number 24 in the draft, but will not play in 2024 as she recovers from dual ACL injuries.

    No. 33 – Lily Johnson

    Joining Melbourne from Port Adelaide, Johnson joined as part of the 11-club mega-trade that took place on the final day of the 2023 Trade Period. At Port Adelaide, Johnson wore the number 23.

    No. 43 – Jemma Rigoni

    Jemma Rigoni, whose father Guy Rigoni played 107 games for the Dees, will wear the number 43 made famous by her father between 1998-2005.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
