Melbourne FC - Didn't look injured!

i don't know what it was, but we seemed to move easier, tackle harder and ran more freely. robbo seemed to move as crisply as ever, davey seemed to have regained toe, pickett showed he still has something to offer. didn't seem like the same melbourne team of the previous 4 weeks

Not wanting to detract too much from the win, but we were playing a team devoid of any confidence. Other than a lucky draw the previous week, they had been getting smashed themselves. If Freo are still rolling when we meet them over there rnd 21, that is when i want to see the Demons stand up and show a bit of ticker, and not just fold in the first quarter like we have done too many times on the road over the last few seasons. Only then will i feel like we are turning the corner.

also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

Brown - desperation was contagious

Carroll - little to do

Ferguson - courageous but limited

Bell - exciting but loose

Wheatley - handled tough tasks

Bode - little to excite

Moloney - had no impact

Mcdonald - useful as always

Johnstone - hasn't lost magic

Pickett - aggression set tone

Davey - loved the freedom

Green - wonderful all night

Dunn - had limited impact

Robertson - license to roam

Neitz - struggling to survive

Jamar - still just plodded

White - had little opposition

Jones - fantastic first half

Sylvia - some individual cameos

Frawley - was well beaten

Newton - no second efforts

Holland - who'd have thought ?

What newspaper did you watch the game in?

What a waste of 88 words.

Our team played with confidence. The first bump by Bell on Aker was inspirational. Sometimes it works. I don't know what it is either but I'll take it.

JoeBoy - keep it up. If nothing it divides opinion and creates debate. FYI - Bell was magnificent and tight.

Well said! I think several players may have extended their careers over the last few weeks as well. Dutchyand Brown have been very good for us and must be retained.

Robbo was lucky he reckless foray into the centre did not land him a suspension. If his hip and shoulder had've connect with the Bulldog's player head it could have been sickening all round.

Well said! I think several players may have extended their careers over the last few weeks as well. Dutchyand Brown have been very good for us and must be retained.

I agree with you. Dutchy and Browny receive so little credit for the way they played. Its mystifying how people lauded so so players like Pickett and Ferguson.

Dutchy should get another year.

I think you will find Doggy will retire at year end.

also it did not look like the melbourne that has played for a majority of the 2007 season. It was like the team of the 2006 season which made us proud

That statement alone should be the trigger for asking serious questions about some of the commitment and questionable future of some players on our list.

I'm only asking for you to reveal the quality of your undoubtedly 'brilliant football mind ' for all the world to appreciate .

Don't make such flippant put downs without having the guts to give us all just a glimpse of how insightful you really are and how markedly different your opinions are to mine - but restrict yourself to 3 words .

I'm sorry if you took offence at my original post Joeboy. But if you are going to be offended with every poster who didn't agree with your gonna be typing for a long time. Lighten up. I thought there were other posters who were more critical of your analisys than me by the way. But I suppose you just decided to have a go at me. I look forward to reading your report next week. I love a good laugh. Oh by the way, i've put in the ones I didn't agree with. Enjoy!

Bell: Keeps on improving

Bode: Good solid start

Dunn: Found his position

Neitz: Sacrificed own game

Frawley: Injured too early

Newton: Great early tackle

Sylvia: Wasting natural ability

    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

    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.
