Mark Riley - what's a structure?

I thought players deserving commendation were Carrol, Brown, Green, Pickett and Robbo.

CJ and Bode did a few very good things, and massive kudos to Jamar for flattening that Freo player, easily the highlight of the match.

Most of those are so off the ball it's not funny, Neita not captain leadership? What the hell? did you see the way he stuck up for young Dunn when he was getting hassled and copped about 4 dockers attacking him?

And CJ, great game today, one of the few shining lights, his disposal and attack on the ball were both very good today, nice change for once. And there was a passage of play where he handballed, received, speared on robbo's chest...

It's always a pleasure watching Jones and McLean throw themselves at the contest.

McLean's game was a huge improvement from last week, when he was clearly underdone.

Thought Green gave us a lot of good movement from the half back line, and Robbo was a good target up forward.

Also thought that CJ stood out with his disposal. We can't be too hard on players who can hit a target.

Very disappointed with everyone else, especially Jeff White. He had no influence around the ground, and his hit- outs went to nobody. I'd rest him next week and start looking at what clubs are willing to offer for an AA ruckman.

i disagree with these. i dont know why but i like what little i see of CJ. Neitz showed his usual leadership, cant throw blame onto him regarding leadership. Robertson was ok, our most dangerous forward. Newton wasnt a 'Major' dissapointment today. a little dissappointing maybe.

Mclean worked his but off today and showed leadership through providing an example of working hard to win the ball. a good game by him. overly critical analysis of Mclean.

otherwize agree with the other alaysis

Ok smartarse what's your opinion of the players ?

ok then buddy... first of all to say Mclean is losing leadership is utter crap! he had 23 possies and if u had watched the game u would have seen that he had to try and man up other opponents because half his teamates were lazy and [censored]! that is true leadership. And newton to be a major disappointment?? wtf! are u expecting to him to kick 5 goals every game. players take time. he has shown us all that he can play and will be a real talent in years to come. robbo playing out time? watever, the guy puts in 100% every game and tries his best. something i admire. and to say CJ chances have expied is why i think u didn't even watch the game. his disposal by foot and hand are lazer like. some that can actually hit a target! the rest i sorta agree but i reckon bode showed a bit. another who can hit a target.

On reflection I think I may have been over - critical of McLean , but he has set such a high level for himself that we ( I ) expect him to perform herculean efforts each week .

We need one of the big boys back @ Sandy next week for the first week of finals, Jamar I think.

Mclean was good today, but the best for me was his 2nd 3rd and 4th efforts

Brown while getting 11 disposals in the first 3 of those were stuff ups until he finally hit robbo, but his opponent bell had 10 possessions and should have had 1 goal if not 2, I'm sorry but he never hurts the opponents enough and bell won the day easily.

Ward, what more can you say.................WHO IN THERE RIGHT MIND WOULD LET THIS HACK KICK OUT!!!!

Jamar- rucked to freo.

I mean how often did he tap it straight to a freo player, he gave them 2 goals FFS.

You summed White up perfectly.

Agree 100% about Neitz as skipper. Yesterday was his last for the club in that post. It was bad enough when his body was up to it but when he's playing at well below full capacity there's no way he can lead by example as a captain should.

If he plays next year he should be rank and file. Even in that capacity he would give leadership but someone else has to take up the reins.

I can't believe no one has commented on Dunn.... did I miss something.

He tagged Haselby and gave him an absolute bath. The Dockers weren't happy about it and were into him at every stoppage. Too his credit he didn't take a backward step and actually dished a bit back. He had 13 possessions to Haselby's ten... which considering how often he get's the ball in other games is a massive step forward for us finding another run with player (and one who can hit team mates lace out) I thought he was one of our best.

I've been massively undewhelmed by CJ this year.... he had some blinding moments in the game, but he goes missing for very long stretches... I was a big rap because he has skills, size and pace.. he should get one more year, let's hope he develops some consistency.

Newton was again very encouraging, the other forwards could learn a thing or two about second and third efforts from Juice.

Lets face facts everyone was pretty crap. Did loose by 59 points.

I dont know how you can find five positives.

Only 3 I saw.

Miller had agression at the footy again, shame his disposal and skill let him down (cancels each other out, not really a positive)

Pickett had excellent 1 percenters. (Positive)

CJ finally showed me something, he played well (positive).

Otherwise, dull dull day.

The hitout count for the game was a whopping 53 to 15 in our favour. and yet once

again we got smashed in the clearances, says it all really doesnt it.

Oh, and Mark Jamar had a whopping 1 posessions for the game. Yes 1, and that was in the

fourth quarter. Enjoy the finals series for Sandringham, Mark...

Then what is he still playing for? He should've been booked into season-ending

surgery at the time Yze, Whelan and co were. Carrying an injury is no excuse,

we know Robbo and Neita are nowehere near fit but they are at least competing

to a somewhat acceptable level.

Hey JB, you forgot Belly. Didn't site him all day. And talk about loose.

    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.
