Bartram - needs more time

Bell - was completely dominated

Bode - not a footballer

Bruce - stuck to task

Buckley - a shining example

Carroll - surprisingly polished game

Davey - little before injury

Dunn - a major disappointment

Garland - wasted draft choice

Green - needs a Melways

Johnson - best big man

Jones - never stops giving

McDonald - didn't stop trying

McLean - little to praise

Miller - an improved game

Morton - reason for optimism

Neitz - no longer excused

Robertson -displays little desire

Sylvia - most overrated player

Weetra - little to enthuse

Wheatley - poor decision making

White - better this week

Pretty spot on today I think.

Morton was the only thing that made me smile today. He can KICK.... someone at Melbourne can HIT A TARGET.

Praise the friggin football gods!!! :rolleyes:

By the way, Buckley needs to stop playing like he's got 100 games experience under his belt. It's great to take them on, but don't try and overdo it. He nearly cost us 2 goals (was 1.1 in the end) because twice he turned it over trying to take on the whole Bulldogs outfit.

I love that he has pace and belief in himself, but son, you can't run through brick walls.

Nathan Jones does never stop trying but my greatest fear is that he will get sick of playing with this rabble and seek a trade to end up playing for the Saints.

Did anyone else notice that after Colin Garland stood flat footed waiting for the ball to be delivered to him only to have it chopped off by a Dogs player TWICE in 30 seconds, Nathan Jones was the only one who screamed at him "Go for the ball" and held his arms at - where were all our other so called leaders? Brock did yell out something after Jones but what about the other "older players" - you know, the LEADERS???? If they are going to accept that sort of crap without saying something, no wonder our team is so SHITE.....

i think the worst part about our leadership group isn't that they don't show leadership onfield, it's that they are ALL pretty shizen players who honestly wouldn't make the starting 18 or the best 12 afl sides.

we are a rabble.

pure and simple, our youngsters are no where near as good as the youngsters of other afl clubs.

Could not agree more. Courage is admired but silliness admonished.

FWIW:

Bartram - ok first up

Bell - took wrong options

Bode - has some potential

Bruce - only broke even

Buckley - thinks he's superman

Carroll - our best today

Davey - something is wrong

Dunn - good first half

Garland - needs more time

Green - had his moments

Johnson - best big man

Jones - thinks he's flower

McDonald - tried his best

McLean - hands on hips

Miller - Melbourne's 2nd best

Morton - will be good

Neitz - starting to mark

Robertson -about the individual

Sylvia - tackled the best

Weetra - unfortunately too early

Wheatley - a wasted kick

White - maybe our CHF

Buckley - a shining example

Of what?!?!?!?!

How to play football like a small boy who thinks he is shitloads better than he actually is?

How to play a game of football without once engaging your brain?

How to play a run and carry style of game without knowing how to carry?

Or my favourite..... A shining example of what happens when your list doesn't have 22 footballers good enough to play AFL!

Buckley's skills need working on but hell he was the only player with Jones to show any consistent run and attack. Its a pity he got no support when he was swarmed.

Carroll's marking is massacred by his inept disposal and decision making. Its an indictment on the team that a player who so regularly turned the ball over is considered one of our best.

Morton does give real reason for optimism. If he had a half decent side to play with, he would show how comfortable he is at this level.

Isaac Weetra might be the worst player to ever pull on a Demons guernsey.

Agreed.

They should start new categories for him in stats sheets:

Fell Over

Didnt attack the contest

Didnt Chase

Looked Despondent/Helpless

He'd almost rack up a quadruple double in these catergories in his games so far.

2 stats today,and he was on for large chunks of the game!

It would be a disgraceful effort on the selectors part if he got another game after today.

There is no way he should be whering the red and blue yet. He could be a good player in the future but i cant see the point playing youngsters when they are not ready. (this is also directed at garland)

I see your Isaac Weetra and raise you Colin Garland.

There are some players that you only need to see for a few minutes to know that they don't have "it".

Garland is one of them.

He and Petterd debuted on the same day.

Petterd showed skill, poise, football smarts and courage.

Garland looked unco.

I was pretty blasted for saying last week that Garland wasn't up to it.

Now people are on my side.....

Bode, Weetra and Garland must be dropped.

If we are playing kids play Maric, Martin, Meesen I don't care who just not those 3 as they are not up to it.

Carroll was fantastic. He read the play well, positioned himself nicely and held his marks. I thought his disposal was pretty good in the first half, it dropped off in the second half in line with the rest of the team.

    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.

    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
