Season overview
Melbourne got off to a blazing start to 2022, winning their first three matches in convincing style. Their off-season recruits have already shown their worth and their young talent is getting better each week. The Dees have been a high scoring team so far this season with Kate Hore, Tayla Harris and Daisy Pearce contributing heavily to the scoreboard. Itโs no secret that Melbourne boasts one of the elite midfields in the competition, and they have risen to the occasion this year. Karen Paxman has been able to share the midfield load with Lily Mithen, Tyla Hanks and even Eden Zanker who has made a switch to the wing. Excellent leadership and unity amongst the playing group has been a major factor in the Dees' victorious start to the season. Ultimately, the Dees have delivered a well-rounded game across the board this season, which is no surprise given the standard of their list.ย
Grade: Aย
With just one blemish thus far there is no limit on what the Dees can achieve in 2022.
