Probably a bit of common sense there, I suspect I'll be parked a mile away for the AFL match, but should have no issues moving the car at half time of the Sandy game a bit closer to the ground.

BBZ, has it been normal to load the Sandy seniors up with MFC listed players in practice matches? Just wonderng if there is any change in policy?

looking at the players melbourne players listed in the seniors for sandringham, you'd suggest that the only players who possibly wouldn't be selected in the best 22 are cheney, mcnamara and zomer... and even on pre season form you'd think mcnamara would be up to the standard...

and you forgot to put shane valenti in red... can't let go Bazza? :P

3 games in one day, seeing all the clubs talent in one day.

Reminds me of a bygone era....those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end...

But alas time has moved on and even now I cannot make Casey fields because the fiance has me pre-booked.

To all those who are going have a great day.

Looking forward to the reports.

Rectified. A few of the ruckmen must have been standing in front of him and I didn't notice. :wub:

For: Maric Zomer Jamar

Rucks: Meesen Valenti Liddell

Int: Warnock M. Johnston Biddlecombe Gribbin Lamb

Paterakis Plymin Dean Monaghan Summers

And pigs might fly.

I don't know but I would play the fitter of the Dee boys starting the game & ease the underdone Bartram & Whelan into the game after the first Q.

It needs to be a blend of Zebra & Dees listed players at all times.

Too many defenders in the announced list so I think they intend for Martin to play forward tomorrow.

Dunn seems to be getting trained up as a midfielder to increase his attack on the ball & to increase his posession rate & engine.

I will try to have some team sheets available for MFC supporters today. They'll be free but I would ask supporters who take them to consider joining the Demonland/Demonology Sponsorship for 2008. Our 2008 player is ... Clint Bartram ... once again.

Well you'll be happy with his first up performance. Bartram was interchanged along with Matthew Whelan and both will add greatly to the Demon defence this year. Barts could even get a run in the midfield once he gains full match finess and if required. Jared Rivers was simply superb and has so much class in defence that his presence in the Demons' lineup will make a lot of difference as will that of Paul Wheatley. Lynden Dunn showed out and Mark Jamar was strong with his ruckwork. Addam Maric worked hard and Shane Valenti was good in patches.

And the final score?

Sandringham 12.9.81 defeated Casey 11.11.77.

I left at 3/4 time in the Sandy game. I was over on the far side with Bartram's parents ( I didn't find this out until I was about to leave ). Apparently Bartram was on a strict 12 minutes only per quarter. Sandy were a much more formidable side when he was there, along with Rivers. At times, you could hardly see how the Scorpions were going to even score. Another that I was impressed by/intrigued with was Stefan Martin; he played the whole game in a key defensive post and did very well. He is all arms and legs, but, the number of times he got a hand or body in and broke up attacks was impressive.

I also left at three quarter time.

Lets not over rate Martin. He's big, athletic and was towelled by Ben McEvoy. It's why McEvoy was a top 10 pick and Martin was a PSD pick.

I like Martin and think he's worth a punt. But he's got a long long way to go.

    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.
