gr8 to see both Bennell and Jetta being played again.

Although i have been a knocker of Newton in the past, seeing his name in our forward line looks so much better on paper- At least there is a target.

I know the positions they have been named dont mean anything but i hope bailey swaps Dunn and Moloney.

Final bench-

Jones, Maric ( his bday on sat), PJ, Petterd

I think we are a chance this week :)

Great to see Jetta is playin Back Pocket this week:O!!! People may bag me, but im kinda exciting to see how Newton is gonna go on Sunday! Hopefully he gets a good run and earns his place in the forward line! This really should be his make or break season for Juice. Maric shouldn't even be named on the bench. Should be in the starting 18. PJ should have a run in the 2's and also Cheney. Also keen to see the progress of Bennell!!

Bartram or Cheney will play, otherwise no taggers. Bartram has played well so far this year with hard tasks (Harvey, Davis) so wouldn't be dropped on form, and not likely to be dropped on match ups (Brown, Foley).

Cheney hasn't done anything wrong either, but could prob use a week back at Casey to practice what he has learnt.

I'd expect to see bench as Bartram, Petterd, Maric and Johnson.

UPDATE: Bench is Bartrtam, Petterd, Jones and Johnson. You heard it here first.

i for one hope bartram is one who misses out.

Dont care about taggers, its the tigers. I would rather 22 people run out who can all have an impact offensively.

As much as it hurts me to say Dunn can tag if need be but at least he can do something else than run with a player to hurt the opposition the other way.

Congrats to big Meeson 2nd game in a row. Well deserved and cant wait to see how he goes against Simmonds

Things are really looking up for the Toigs....

Don't know if anyone's been to training this week but I'd be surprised if Moloney plays.

If Maric doesn't play it would be a crime.

At least Newton didn't disgrace himself last week - he didn't play at all!

Haha JUCIE!!!! Named in the starting 18 so definately playing....

Id like the bench to be Jones, Spencer, Maric, Cheney/Petterd

I completely missed that.

I guess I've learnt to shield myself from all things Newton-related by simply ignoring the fact that he exists.

However with the sad realisation that Juice is apparently an automatic starter at Melbourne, I will now go and shed a little tear and say a little pray for Jack Watts (may he kick 25 goals on Saturday and leave us with no choice but to play him on Sunday in a last-minute change to the line-up).

No Jones?

Well I'd take Jones over Brock at the moment, and Moloney (if fit) over both.

Petterd may take a miss, but I can't find a good reason to do so.

And while I nearly always agree with Mousey, a tagger is required to stop someone like Brown tearing the game apart.

*Sigh* Its at matchup time when I realise how much we'll miss Garland for his versatility in that he could play on someone as big as Richo or as small as Brown

I'd guess Rivers will take Reiwoldt for his ability to lead up the ground, and Martin will get Morton closer to the square leaving Warnock to again follow Richo wherever he goes. Frawley would be left to match up on Brown by default almost.

I'd love for Rivers to play on Richo, because not only can Rivers defend, but I trust that when he gets the ball he'll actually use it in a productive, meaningful way that will advantage our forwards.

I can't see anyone else playing on Richo and being able to both successfully shut him down and make an impact on the game.

Maybe Dunn could pick up Matthew Richardson out on the wing.

Keep the defence 'in tact' as much as possible.

How can Newton and Jetta be emergencies if they have been named on the ground?

    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
