Newton's a real chance to play-am a bit surprised

Excellent to hear Morton to be named in the center.

I would have Morton and Bell in.

I'd love to chuck in Newton instead of Bell but with the majority of the Bulldogs forward line being small in stature he'll have to come in.

Carroll and White serve no purpose at our club.

having trouble working out what the final side will be... Juice and Valenti are the first two i'd name, i think two of Martin, Bode and Bell will get a run...

I'd name Newton, Valenti, Martin, Bell as the final bench...

bench for mine should be Martin, Valenti, Newton, Bell

Valenti , Martin deserve to keep their place even if Martin didn't do much against Brisbane he should be given the chance to string a few games together

Would love to see Juice Newton given the rest of the season in the seniors to see if he has what it takes if not see ya

Also love to see bell given a chance to get his 2007 form back he is an important player for us going forward

Hasn't Frawley been going alright at Sandy? Bell named ahead of him is poor form IMO

Isn't it common knowledge that Newton just does not give a rats?

What claims do Carroll or White have on a spot?

With 2 injury OUTS it should be Morton and someone else like Maric, Frawley or Petterd given a run and the rest kept after a massive effort last week

Bode is the only one who could/should be dropped as he has been in for 4 weeks for a total of 27 disposals, its not right for the likes of Martin and Valenti to get pushed out for these blokes

Disappointed

I'm not. There's always need for another tall forward, as only Miller is our real out-of-the square big-type KP player, and even he doesn't play there for whole games.

Juice kicked 4 last week and 2.7 the week before. Perhaps they really do just need to see where he is over the space of 8 rounds. They need to know who is making way for all the draftees next year.

I imagine all the guys named on the ground will play, so Morton's a definite in

I think the interchange might be D.Bell, S.Martin, M.Newton, S.Valenti, with Carroll, White, and Bode to miss.

That'd be Morton and Bell for McLean and Davey, with one of the half-backs given more time up the ground, I guess.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Carroll replace one of Bell or Martin from those four, though.

don't be disappointed... it's been a pattern all season when the younger blokes have been dropped they've spent a few weeks down at sandy before coming back... And when they have returned to the side, they do seem to be much better for the run in the 2's...

Chip played for Sandy the last 2 weeks, not doing a whole lot the first week, then having a good game last Sunday... I think Bails will give him a couple more weeks down there to continue to work on his game before he's brought back up...

Further, Bell will match up better on the Bulldogs smaller forward line than Chip would...

I dont think Bell or Newton deserve a spot in the Final 22.

In: White, Morton.

I can see both Newton and Carroll being included though. If Carroll gets a crack I dont mind but I dont think he deserves his place in the team just yet.

Pretty sure we will see Juice out there this week. I don`t think he would have been named unless they were serious about him getting a run. He is not injured, has playes some OK games in the 2`s, it`s now time to see what he can do for our footy club. If he can`t do something in the next 8 weeks he will be a nervous boy come trade week. I hope he shows us what he is capable of!

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
