That mark had a touch of Leo Barry about it.

And I don't think anyone but Melbourne supporters appreciate how rare a Simon Godfrey right-foot goal really is!

It was an awesome goal though.

Yep, I saw the resemblance to Barry's mark. It was a ripper that Greeny took.

And that Godders goal was unbelievable. Just a magnificent moment in the game, made more amazing by the fact that it was nearly 50 metres out!! And I loved his celebration too!

MELBOURNE GETS ROBBED OF MOTYS AND GOTYS EVERY BLOODY year

we are lucky to have a team like we do which has the best highlights of most sides in the AFL...

just a few times weve been robbed...

Woey robed of GOTY by his own teammate farmer 1998

Robbo robbed of MOTY everyyear since he played the game..

Yze robbed of MOTY LAST (geelong game) year AND 2 years before that WAY BETTER mark over the top of a few sydney guys than stupid mcPharlins superman mark

Davey Robbed of GOTY last year by edward betts...

Yze robbed of GOTY this yer by dustin fletcher.... (best goal i have ever seen by yze)

didnt even get goal of the round

its a popularity contest... Green is up against FRASER dont bother voting...

last year it had some crediabilty when its experts had their say, and the fans...

looked like a good strong mark until you watch the replay closely and see it touched carrols arm first...

And you could see Chopper wanted to tear his head off

Yeah, you could see how cut he was being out marked by a bloke he had in a bear hug.

From someone who doesn't barrack for either Collingwood or Melb, Frasers mark was a ripper, and should win MOTW.

But BrownlowBruce makes a valid point. Some excellent nominations are missing out cos they are up against inferior Goals/Marks performed by players from popular teams [Coll & Ess for example].

Not sure I agree with every instance listed [Farmers goal was better than Woewodins in 1998, and Melbourne can't be robbed if the award goes to one of their players :wacko: ], but defiantely Dustin Fletcher should not have won the Round 4 nomination this year in front of Adem Yzes goal against Fremantle.

Having said of all that, I'll be voting for Jason Laycock this week. :lol:

Frasers was very ..so -so..nothing spesh.. a good mark..but thats all.

Green is impressing..he's really stepped up a bit ( well as has half the team )

Green is almost making htis style of mark a trademark.. well ok.. but two weeks running he's pulled off clinchers by going back into a pack at height , which is really another way of saying...this could really really hurt !!.

Kudos to the fella..well done :-) keep it up.

He took a few in a similar fashion last year too.

As much as I dislike the Pies and that overrated 200cm marshmallow, Fraser, I thought his mark under pressure in the goal square was first class.

Green's two marks in the last quarter were good stabilising marks from a player that has matured much in the past year and is not often credited for the hard in and under work he does.

    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.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
