Ash, who would you take to Essendon?

Essendons needs are a little different. Our midfield is poor, and while our backline is ok, with Fletcher and Micheal the wrong side of 30, that could do with some help.

Adel - B.Rutten [best full back, can always do with a player like him]

Bris - J.Brown [TGNTT - too good not to take, although Power would suit us as well]

Carl - M.Murphy [great young prospect]

Coll - S.Pendleburt [see above]

Frem - M.Pavlich [TGNTT]

Geel -G.Ablett Jnr [would give our midfield a lift]

Haw - J.Lewis [i'm a fan of him, not so much a fan of Franklin]

Kang - B.Harvey [has pace]

Melb - Either J.Rivers or B.McLean [your best defender and midfielder]

Port - C.Cornes [TGNTT]

Rich - Probably Deledio

StKil - N.Dal Santo [their best mid]

Syd - Not sure, pretty even team. Perhaps A.Goodes.

WCE - C.Judd [TGNTT]

WB - A.Cooney [has pace]

I still don't know why we didnt pick up Daniel Connors. I claimed him when he was playing for Vic Country...yet he managed to slide down the draft order till about pick 50. Ridiculous. He has Hodge like qualities..and yes..I do think he will be as good.

Scary how similar a lot of these lists are.

I like the idea of the list of young players someone suggested. Throw em all together and win for a decade.

I must admit he looked very good is a losing team against Geelong on Saturday. I knew very little about him before the weekend, but he looks Ok.

How could anyone pick dal santo over Riewoldt?

Glad none of you are involved in with the club. Actually, come to think of it maybe you are.

It's not a bad point, and I'm a massive Riewoldt fan. But it depends on needs. Essendon need an A-Grade mid fielder, whereas with Lloyd and Lucas in the side, a key forward isn't as important.

I think Melbourne need both. Jones, McLean and McDonald provide some grunt, with TJ being the only real silk. I would think Dal Santo would fit in there nicely. As would Riewoldt, but you can only pick one.

    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
