only watched the first half and then went home

i didn't think gawn did much in the first half; did he do enough to claim a 7th all oztrayan or will it go to xerri, a clearly inferior ruckman?

i thought pickett was great - only player who looked lively forward of centre

salem the best of a bad lot and i guess mcdonald was decent in the air defensively

3: pickett
2: salem
1: mcdonald

God that Salem bloke is so slow and a liability

Been in the votes for 3 weeks plus

His detractors must be hating it

Thats why he wont get a vote from me either! Getting slower with dodgy strings and dinky kicks resulting in turnovers

Was a hard watch at the ground.  Defensively really poor. Votes are difficult to give in this one but there were three standouts for us who everyone has identified.

6. Gawn - beat Cameron convincingly on a night that didn't favour the big men. 20 disposals at 75%, 13 contested, 5 clearances, 5 marks and 3 of those contested as well as 25 hit outs.  

5. McDonald - a heap of intercept marks.  Did a decent job on Hoskin-Elliott who wasn't a major influence.  A good end to a decent season and worthy of another 12 month contract.

4. Pickett - Koz looked our most dangerous and destructive forward all night. When he's on he plays with real spirit and last night he had it.

3. Salem - a massive second quarter, where he amassed half his total stats for the game.  He is creative but also costly.  Hopefully a full preseason might see him back to 2021 standard.  But he was ok last night.

2. Chandler - covered ground but not great in the contest.  At least provided options. Not enough tackles for a small forward but wasn't horrible.

1. Billings - much like Chandler but slower.  Still he worked hard.

Tholstrup did a couple of nice things.  As for the rest, very little to report. Congratulations to Gawn on his outstanding season.  He is a true warrior and a deserved winner of the Demonland POTY.

6 - Max a much better 2nd half

5 - Salem stay fit and healthy

4 - TMac should go around again 

3 - Chandler worked hard all night

2 - Kozzie best forward 

1 - Trent Rivers reasonable 100th

Jack Billings eased out for Riv’s 100th.

A lot of sick or injured players tonight or just run out of puff after a disappointing year. Pies had the best 4 players on the ground last night and by some margin.

On a night when there were very few shining lights wearing red and blue:

6.  TMac  -  very reliable in an undermanned defence.  Capped off a very solid year, after many of us thought that injury and Father Time had caught up with him.    

5.   Gawn  -  leadership by example is what we’ve come to expect from Max, and that’s what we got, from the start to the final siren (I loved the passion / determination in his eyes when he addressed the players immediately after the lightening break).  Another AA coming up, together with prestigious Demonland Player of the Year.

4.  Chandler -  often maligned, but I thought this was one of his best games for the club.  Has made good progress this year imo.

3.   Salem -  solid game, but spoiled a bit of his good work with uncharacteristically ‘iffy’ disposal.  Having said that, he probably chose some more difficult options with a view opening up the field for our boys, and, in the circumstances of the game, you can’t blame him for that.

2.  Pickett  -  a typical Kozzi ‘live wire’ game.  Our only forward who always looked dangerous when the ball was in his area.  Unfortunately, it didn’t get in there often enough.

1.  Rivers  -  got a fair bit of the ball, but ‘butchered’ it too often.  Still a solid game from a player who is still learning the trade

6 GAWN. huge heart. Tried all night. Beat Cameron convincingly. 
 

daylight 

 

5 Tmcd. Yes had a good night. Beat Daicos 1-1. Two brain fades. Deliberate out of bounds.  Bad decision to mark instead of punch v HoskinElloitt cost us a goal. Otherwise tried and tried and kicked well 

4 Chandler.  Nice goal.  Good tackles and put his head over the footy 

3 Salem.  Again strong contribution.  Intercepted several Pies attacks. Generally good disposal except for 2 howler turnovers that cost goals 

 

struggling now 

2 Langdon.  Ed kept running and got better with more involvement 

1 Turner.  He shows spirit.  Lovely goal 

apologies to Kozzzzy ( good goals but it was a nearly night … nearly got away from quaynor, hit the post from 7 metres out, nearly got through congestion, nearly nearly ) 

Riv in 100th was serviceable as was Billings. 
 

Spuds awards to Fritsch & JVR

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    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 star play

    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
