we are not going to make finals realistically. we will stumble somewhere. lets get real.

if we were clever we would start preparing for next year. that doesnt mean that we dont go out and try to win every game.

but it does mean

a) we start deciding the players who wont be there next year and dont play them again

3 definites who are gawn are jamar, neville, and and ferguson. do not play them again. hard decision to be made on N.Brown, C.Johnson, Pickett and miller. if decide one isnt going to be here next year then do not play them again

B) decide which youngster will feature heavily next season and play them regularly. do not drop them unless they are terribly out of form.

pettard, frawley, sylvia, jones, bate, PJ, Bartram, Newton and Buckley should all play regularly.

a guy like frawley wil not be good next season if he doesnt play this season. experience is important get it into them.

c) if we need guyz in certain possisions next yr, play them there. e.g. if miller if neaded to play against the gorrillas, then play him against them. if frawley is intended as a key position, give him a go

The following aren't in our best 22 -

Ferguson - can't see him playing in '08

Jamar - will be a beneficiary of our lack of ruck stocks if he's on the list next year...I'd be happy to delist him

Brown - on the wrong side of 30...have enjoyed watching him at times but his time is limited

Miller

Warnock - probably has one more year but probably not going to be a regular AFL footballer

CJ - but I would like him given opportunities if his form is good enough; probably has another year up his sleeve though

The five you've mentioned are in our best squad as well as Moloney - and Dunn's in the mix too.

the only thing with moloney is he has only played 13 games since 2005 and seems to be very injury prone

For sure, Moloney's fitness woes have been pretty disappointing.

When he's up and about I think he's vying for a spot in our best team but the last game I saw him play he was virtually running on the spot.

Rivers, Yze, Molpney, Bartram, and Pickett all ery important to us

We will get most of them back after the break then will make a massive FInals run

while i think its great to have hope for the finals, we realistically will not make it this season.

we should just focus on winning the majority of matches and developing a youthful starting 22 that plays a good brand of footy so that we can have an assualt of 2008

    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

    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
