Well Shane Neaves to the ressies for Sandy.. what's everyone's thoughts? In my opinion, very disappointed. bloody Mark Jamar!

I will believe that when I actually see it.

Neaves has been in great form ... a very potent ruck combination of Neaves and Jamar...

Besides, Jamar and PJ are both playing.

I would say that the club is going to take an extra player across to Adelaide and the likely candidate for that job is Jamar. Hence, Neaves being position rather glaringly on the interchange for the Zebra twos. (It's either that or Neaves is under an injury cloud - you don't drop your premiership ruckman from the year before to interchnge for the ressies!)

Both teams playing well with Sandy missing a few easy shots. CJ dominating and should have kept his place in the side with the skills his got. Jamar is just not up to AFL standerd yet let alone VFL! Neaves should have played! One player that has really impressed me across half back is Jace Bode. If he can string together some good strong games he could get elevated and take Daniel Ward's spot! He is very quick, good skills, strong and good reader of the play.

Neaves not playing is an absolute joke, how are you meant to development a player with potential when he's forced to play for Sandringham's reserve team?

That brings up the question again of the Melbourne/Sandringham relationship.

Sandy wants to win and with Jamar and big Johnson in the side they probably had too many big men.

Good win by the Zebras.

To kick 11 goals in that last quarter is amazing!

I watched Jace Bode closely all game and this guy is ready for AFL IMO. Twenty-five touches and he was solid across half back showing a lot of pace and hardness.

Should be playing him ahead of guys like Brown and Ward.

It really was a sensational finish by the Zebras coming from a strong three quarter time talk from coach mark Williams. He challenged his players to have a go and to keep their sights lowered and not bomb the ball indiscriminately into the forward line. They answered in the best way possible. Summers and Poyas the stars, Jamar, Bode. PJ, CJ and the Byronator doing well and Sautner booting a lazy five to retain top spot in the goalkicking. At the other end of the ground Carroll was solid after giving away a few frees early.

Reported Player

Sandringham David Gallagher (Sandringham) for charging D. Dick (Bendigo)in the second quarter.

The reserves had an enormous win to stay in finals contention. Four goals from Isaac Weetra up forward was an added delight for Demon fans.

Sadly in reality he's lucky to be playing with Sandy's first team and not stuck in the reserves.

How is it that all three of our emergencies for tomorrow played?

Too bad if anyone does a hammy in the warmup tomorrow.

Valenti is a go for a rookie spot.

pickett did well enough to suggest he will get his 200th game that riley promised him if he played decent form for sandy

    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.

    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
