Bizzell

Was our warrior in the backline today. Absolute fantastic game. I always knew this guy still had something in him. Fightback in the last quarter was ignited by him imo, along with Jones. Ran it out of half back wonderfully. Set up 3 goals in the last.

agreed that bizzel would be better than ward.

would rather cj ahead of both of them. and brown as well.

time to give the kid some game time so he is more experienced. unfortunately its time to look to next season. and while im not a fan of tanking, i would rather CJ had some more experience so he may be able to give us something next year.

His offensive work when we were on the fly was good.

However, had his opponent Corey Jones made us pay and not missed easy shots in 2.3 it might have been different.

He is still too loose in defense.

Better than his average.

Great game to the Bizz

strong hands

Held down the back

Made good decisions

Hope he can retain his spot in the side for the rest of the year and play some good footy

agree, the bizz was good. could have sworn i thought the siren would go when he took that mark in the backline

I said as much to the people I was sitting with and then was told there was 2 and a half minutes to go :(

Great game by Bizz. Courageous as ever and should stay in at least until Rivers is fit and up and playing well.

A lot of people seem to think they are.

They are wrong. Rivers has taken the key CHB role in most roles. Bizz has played off a HBF.

Do you (or they) know who Bizzell played on this week?

Corey Jones.

Rivers would not be wasted on a Corey Jones.

Biz is a gun

Thanks Rhino, I was wondering if someone was going to bring it up. Ward and Bizzell in the same side is a half forward's wet dream. I'm not out to bag the blokes, you need that run and drive off the half back line, you need your backmen to be brave and take risks, but there are also times they need to be accountable. I'd urge anyone going to the game next week to note his direct opponent and watch the contests carefully.

They aren't competing for the same position.

True, but you wouldn't see them in the same backline because what Bizzell can do, Rivers can do much better.

Bizzell is essentially a loose man in defence. He is the third man up, which is fine, except Rivers can both shut down his direct opponent and help out his teammates. Plus, he has pace to break the lines.

In the absence of Rivers, our best defender by an absolute mile it is quite frightening, Bizzell's inclusion is logical. However, there are so many players who could play that loose defensive role. It is probably one of the easiest positions on the ground.... as long as you don't have to be accountable for a man. Bizzell struggles to be accountable, even on an ordinary player like Jones.

We just can't afford to play Ward, Bizzell and Brown all in the same back half. If the Kangaroos kicked straight today, the backline wouldn't be getting so much praise. Apart from Carroll and Bell who are solid and accountable, the rest were loose today. I'm still trying to figure out where the Grant vs. Green match-up came from?! :wacko:

    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.
