I was thinking about this. They're vulnerable. We are on the rise and they are... well... just crap. Looking at the matchups, with their injuries, we are a big show. The concern would be if in a month their better players return and regain match-fitness...

If things stay as they are, we may even go in as favourites.

Bloody oath kick them while there down !!!! Queens Birthday is the only game all year I want to win

The article is more about the supporters though, thats the part that i was interested in. Maybe there supporters are getting Jack of the whole thing.

I remember being amused when i heard that the members had to re apply for the cheersquad!

Is Eddie's dream of world domination finally over?

It's a dog of club, Fancy paying $700 for a membership then having to pay extra for seat, They treat their members with contempt. This is one of many things I hate about this Eddie run dictatorship.

They have to pay for their membership scarf and magazines as well. It's got me [censored] how they have so many supporters they have to pay more for everything just to see their side continually fail. Debut Watts in this game we will get over 60,000 for sure if that happens.

Oh no, we can't beat Collingwood! We need to show competiveness, give a four quarter effort, before going down by a goal. Then we can all go home happy and relieved that we will not win more than four matches this year. :rolleyes:

Is always the first team I want to beat year in year out. (Honourable mentions to Carlton, Essendon and Hawthorn.)

Collingwood has Carlton this week, then they go to Perth for West Coast beforing returning to Melbourne to play Port.

They could lose 2 of these upcoming games. Who knows, they could lose all 3.

Wouldn't it be sweet to put their lights out for 2009?

Hopefully we have some guys returning from injury before then.

I'm already keyed up for it.

Actually, that might even be the thinking behind Watts' debut in this round. Great point! The thinking behind the Queen's Bday game has always been that it's the biggest money winning for us. Bringing Watts in could just be that extra touch of spice the game needs.

Eddie, MM and Rocca are all heading toward their use by date. They look like being an honest MOR team going forward.

OK having a blond moment, but "MOR" :huh: ?!!!

We'll be a good shot to win this one, especially seeing as Green, Rivers & Frawley will all be back. If we do win this one it means that we can't win the games against Richmond or North Melbourne otherwise we'll go over our 4 wins.

Doesn't matter if we do loose though because we'll thump them in the coming years, don't like the look of them going ahead, can only think of half a dozen players who look like they'll have much of a future.

Don't be surprised if four come back this week, as MM has been cagey. When the filth have Davis, Didak, Anthony out - they will struggle and they did. Mind you 15 other sides wouldn't have beaten StKilda last Monday, even the current Geelong line up.

They will be their old selves, when they return. I hope their supporters are happy with their team hovering around 6th-10th. Because that's where I see them.

Agree.

    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.

    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
