i thought CJ was alright today. not the worst.

Sylvia---- he never dominates across half forward--- if he continues like this then he'll never end up as anything.

WHY NOT TRY HIM IN THE MIDFIELD. for christs sake just give him a go.

If anywhere Id give him a spell on a half back flank..where his ability to mark ( and he can ) is useful to get the ball onto a linkup player heading down the guts....Might also teach him accountability

7 possession. 4 were ineffective.

My concerns for Garland stumble me as for why he was in the team today.

The team as a whole played much better than last week which was improvement on week before. Rivers understandably not 100% touch in first game for long while!

Wheatley, Morton, PJ and Austin Wona all positivies. Cam Brue and Brock also beenfiting from game time.

For once we lost the hit outs but did well overall in the rucks.

Worry is still the turnovers. 2 out of bounds on the full in 1st qtr when no pressure. Nath carrols bad hand pass and at least 3 goals ( 2 by hawkins) whn Melb defenders failed to punch tha ball tru the goals when kicked to within 2-3 feet by the Cats.

In 2nd and last qtr countless times ball marked uncontested by cats defenders. However clear where further improvement to come from. OUr main worries going forward are our senior forwards. (Neither Neita or Robbo are having any effect after 3 rounds!!!)

I only saw the 2nd hald and two worst clangers I saw were (a) Jeff white stopping and letting Moooey come in and mark the ball 15 metres from goal and (B) the Brad Green kick for gaol which was given a point - where the defender touched the ball behind the goal post (WTF!!!)

BB - not sure why you recommended switching to ABC radio. I had to suffer it in first half travelling back to Melbourne and in one 5 minute spell in 2nd qtr the commentator didnt mention a MFC player by name. They , MFC etc. They were crap all day. Morfett's classic when Cats kicked 4th goal at about 20min mark. . The cats are back in front !!! Had never led !Melb scored first 2goals before cats scored a behind!

Tony, I agree. Between the pathetic coodabeens, morphett and lonergan they are almost impossible to listen to. I remember morphett celebtraing a blues win two years ago against melbourne, and he just rolled out all the usual crap. Muppet.

    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.

    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
