Mark Jamar with 7 clangers. FARK.

Bell 3 free kicks against ... all of them when he got run down because of his lack of awareness.

On a more positive note:

White with 11 contested possessions is a good sign.

Bruce ... 33 possies, 5 tackles, 6 contested possessions. Soft my clacker.....

also seems to me that 1%ers are low too!! these i would have thought are easy - shepherds, spoils, blocks, goal assists (not so easy), etc....

no sign of the inside 50's there but no need to see the stats for me to know that they were shyte!!

thought that our ruckman were competitive for the first time in a while - both in the centre and around the grounds...

why not give daniel bell a run up the ground on a wing? and spare with lynden dunn being a backman!!

also, warnock not to play in the red and blue again...

Bruce, Aussie, Jones and maybe Green were the only players who I think would scored pass marks on the day. Get over yourself YM and for once gain some respect by admitting that Cam Bruce is one of the few players at the club doing his job.

Apparantly we set records for the most touches in our own defensive 50, and had a few guys get more than 10 touches in just the back 50.

That to me is the most worrying of all the stats.

At times he seems like the only one not to have lost his confidence.

Not sure how effective having the ruckman deep behind the ball is either. White may have ended up with 23 touches, but its where he gets them that counts.

10 man defense does not make a Premiership.

Nathan Jones - 21 touches and 4 goals.

I've said it before and I'll say it again : Jones > Pendulbury

I love Jonesy but FFS I hope someone gives him a football and a friend (Preferably Clint Bartram) over the summer and gets them to play kick to kick for 8 hours a day.

The kid could be anything if only he cleaned his disposal up!

I was amazed he got it through the big sticks 4 times.

Great effort, and perhaps his kicking is improving

This could well be attributed to a lack of talk out on the field as well, defenders should back themselves to run the ball out of defence as Belly is doing, his teammates should be letting him no if he's in danger of getting tackled.

The problem is lack of confidence usually results in little to no talk out on the field.

Jones is a better player than Pendles. Pendles just gets all the media hype.

Pendles is

- taller

- quicker in leg speed and mind

- better kick and handball

- better at dishing out in traffic

Jones is

- harder at it

Bit like comparing apples and oranges cos they're different styles but I would take Pendlebury

    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.
