Jefferson has 17.11 goals in his last 7 games in a poor team  certainly trending the right direction

I was present today and AMW can do nothing more to earn an AFL debut - and it wasn't just today - the so-called "body of work" is now there. Woey took a heavy hit and that may explain his reduced outp

It was a spirited effort in that last quarter. Fullarton, AMW, Verrall, Jeffo and Laurie gave it their all and nearly pulled off a win. 
 

Norf had lots of talent on ground with McKercher, Stephenson and Duursma playing

Casey showed some resolve in the second half to make a contest of it. North the perennial cellar dwellers will rise. After  all the AFL largesse, they can afford to play two highly touted recruits in the seconds?

north hold on to win by a goal

lots to like about jefferson, moniz-wakefield, and to a lesser extent adams with some good marks

fullarton and verrall cameos

billings, laurie, mcadam offered nothing while presume woey 2.0 was injured as he wasn't sighted - at least not by me - after half time

Why do we trade away valuable draft picks for blokes like billings and mcadam who struggle at casey

Laurie riding his opponent like a horse. Hilarious 

Should cheer the tea-leaf readers. An alternate career beckons...

As a jumps jockey.

Massive "free kick North" quarter from the umps here.  Particularly No.12

Had him penciled in as NQR earlier in the game.

I'm not entirely sure if Will Varrell will make it.

He struggles to hold his marks and there were certainly moments there in the last quarter he should have held onto a few grabs that came directly to him but soft hands meant he dropped way too many.

If you're not at least a solid enough mark as a ruckman then you're going to struggle at the elite level.

Max struggled to do anything except his knees until that fateful day in geelong.......give the kid some time. I actually thought he had some ok moments.

McAdams.......I really thought we were getting more than this guy. Hopefully he stays uninjured and gets a full preseason in........AMW.........does he come in for Bowey??

What's the knock on Moniz-Wakefield? First time I've had a proper chance to sit down and watch Casey this year and he looks above average. No guarantee anyone translates VFL form into AFL performance, but I think we're miles from a settled, confident AFL side forcing good Casey players to wait their turn.

Max had all the attributes of a solid ruckman that had potential.  What he's showing now he showed at VFL as well as winning a best and fairest for Casey.

I haven't seen anything from Varrell that suggest he's got those athletes attributes that he can bring to AFL level. 

On a side note AMW was very impressive.

first season playing as a defender and he's coming along okay

if we didn't have a surfeit of players of a similar shape / size for defensive spots - mcvee, salem, rivers, bowey - then he may have got a look in the last few weeks

personally i'd be bringing him in for bowey this week, who i thought was below average last nite and has been for some time now

don't think second and third round draft picks are particularly valuable

I'd strongly disagree with that

Let's look 3-4 years ago at the draft and see who was picked up in the second and third rounds

Beau Mcreery 

Errol Gulden

Mitch owens

Paul Curtis

Jake soligo

Harvey Harrison

 

These kids are way past billings and mcadam

@old dee did you get a chance to watch Jeffo this week? I put the mozz on him last week but he kicked 4 goals today and took some impressive grabs all around the ground. Will be surprised if he gets a game this year but certainly a lot to work with.

    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

    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.
