@Demonland are we posting votes for this weeks game ? Seems like after a “worst ever loss”, the enthusiasm is absent.   It think it was the howlers and turnovers that were the killer.  Eliza McNamara️was clearly our best but that clanger 10 metre kick from the back flank to the central forward position , turnover goal was horrible.   Especially when a 40 metre kick with the wind was the most obvious choice.

Let me kick if off

Georgia Campbell - Learning the ruck craft as she goes.  Think she is developing nicely despite playing on seasoned ruck talls

Alyssia Pisano - Can really see the skill and pace.  Looking forward to watching develop as the year progresses

Paxy Paxman - Ran hard and found space.   Good game

Tyla Hanks - Did a lot of work - needs more support

Alyssa Bannan - Did a few good things as she always does.  Love Bannan but needs to inject herself more in the game.  Would like to see her in defence and run the ball out 

Sarah Lampard - Ran hard, had a good game but under pressure like most of the team

Georgia Gall - Learning and developing - took a couple of good marks.  Just needs time

Kate Hore - Tried to do it all.  Normally calm and composed but was a bit angry during the 2nd half and it showed. Loved her tackle on Kearney - beautiful 

Maeve Chaplin - Another good game.  Composed and strong over the ball.  Needs to be moved to the midfield

Lily Mithen - Another good game by Lily.  Batting against her weigh and height. Courageous as they come

Grace Beasley - Getting better game by game.  Becoming a favourite quickly.  Reminds me of our Liv Purcell.  They will compliment each other in the midfield for sure

Tahlia Gillard - Another good game.  Always puts in despite the back line under enormous pressure

Grace Hill - Tried hard - under a lot of pressure by North talls

Eliza McNamara - BOG - great game - despite a few errors

Sinead Goldrick - Tough and courageous.  Just needs to stop for a few seconds before moving the ball on 

Megan Fitzsimon - Good game, kicked a good goal and was hard at the ball

Rhi Watt - Given her height and experience would like to see her do more and help out Campbell with leadership

Eden Zanker - Struggling a bit as the only tall.  Did some good things but gets down on herself too easily and it impacts her game

Shelley Heath - Another good game from Shelley.  Hard runner, love how she goes about it

Blaithin Mackin - Always have hope when Blaithin gets the ball, smart and makes the most of all opportunities

Gabrielle Golvin - Tried really hard and did some good things.  Under pressure the same as her other backs.

Happy to hear any views on my review

@demonglory  sugar coated review.  They got beaten by 50 points.  In fact it was 9 goals to 1 after quarter time.  Kangas also missed two gettable other goals.  Outmuscled across the park.  Only McNamara and Gillard played 4 quarters.  Turnovers were killers.  I think Banno and Eden need to get hungry.  They are looking timid.  Paxy … zero tackles.  Actually had 3-4 missed tackles.  Turnovers killed us.  We missed Harris, Purcell, Aimee Mackin & Pearce.  It was always going to be a tough year.  But lose to Freo, and I think it’s finals over already.  Tough draw doesn’t get any easier.

Learning opportunities | Stinear reviews Round 3

Coach Mick Stinear spoke on the Dees round 3 loss. 

THE DEES struggled to match it against North Melbourne on Sunday, losing by 50 points on their home deck.

The Roos led the game for all four quarters, despite an early surge from Melbourne , who levelled the score towards the end of the first quarter, winning two forward half clearances, converting them both into goals.

Mick Stinear spoke to media post-match about the improvement required going into next week’s match against the Dockers.

“I think for us, contest and clearance, and being able to get our hands on the ball first was number one,” Stinear said.

“The glaring stat out of the game was the score from turnover, that was a significant difference.

“There is plenty to learn for us today, and a bit of a gift early on in the season on now knowing where we need to get to, having Geelong, Brisbane, and now North.”

There were still some positives to come out of the game, Stinear explaining that the loss was an opportunity to learn, knowing what they need to work on to move forward.

“We feel like we got a lot out of today, and we’ve still got a big part of the season to build and evolve,” Stinear said.

“Today we learnt a lot, in the second half we made a few little changes, try and learn a bit more about some people.

“Getting our hands on the ball first and the way we use the ball from the inside to the outside, we think that will set up our opportunities to score.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
