yze.. i like how we had a small forward line with green in it!! it worked soo much better and even the commentators said so aswell

Probably because we were a lot less predictable. But I like Green at FF for most, but not all the time.

This is blasphemous, but I believe we will be more competitive with David Neitz out of the side. With Dunn to come in next week, we may develop quite a versatile and potent forward line over the coming weeks

Yep it's going be tough to replace Neitz.

Who else is going to provide us with 3 goals in 5 matches?

Neitz needs to go permanently

exactly. neitz has been contributing nothing this season. right at this point in time, we'll be a better side without him, but i do hope he gets himself right and finishes off his last season with some form and fitness he's been severly lacking.

What do you think he's thinking about all this. Playing on, bad form, injury, and a Club in crisis. Is he regretting not retiring, is he sad to see the club like this? It would be interesting to hear an interview with him in which he actually tells us what he's thinking, rather than just the stock-standard responses.

Sylvia and Green rotating at FF is an option or just Green there because of Sylvia's form.

Newton depends of sandy form

Bate on injury

Jamar ;)

ARGHHHHHHHHHH!

Bate is a must inclusion, and Miller will be back next week too (get over it :rolleyes: ).

Time for Green to stand up and deliver. He was good up forward today and this is where he must stay.

It seems that for the first time in many years, our forward line is our biggest weakness. Sadly, we have nobody waiting in the wings to fill Neita's shoes at FF.

A smaller forward line could work if, like Bailey wants us to, we move the ball quickly (quickly does not equal "round and around until we see an opponent and [censored] ourselves).

Neitz - a great player but needs a tap on the shoulder - he and White sould both nominate the Collingwood Queens Birthday game as their last for Melbourne - time for them both to move on - greatplayers for the club, but the game has gone past them.

The game is now that quick, that in the forwrd line you just need one big physical mobile player and everyone else needs to be realy mobile - look at Haawthorn - basically all athletes (altough that Franklin guy has a bit of ability)

I hated posters who bag Neiter. He has been a great player/servant/role model etc. for our club. But till he was injured today, just watching him fumble, drop marks, hang on to the ball too long, unable to give off a quick handball or knock on to a player going past, was just plain embarrasing. It hurts to write this.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
