The question im asking is if it where up to you would you decide to win or lose? Giving whats at stake pic One and two and the possibility of wce tanking out the rest of the season.

Remember the question is if you were to decide the outcome what would you choose, not will you be barracking for the dees or anything like that.

Personally i will be cheering on the dees as i do every week.

If we win i hope we thrash them havent seen that in agesssss.

Not saying this applies to you CD but...

"I'm a MFC supporter that regularly posts on Demonology and Demonland and I love my club so much that I want to see them win a flag so I think we should lose 18 games this year so we can get two good kids in the draft.

But if Bailey thinks that getting 18 losses involves patience for bad losses, he has got another thing coming. I believe it not only possible, but downright easy, to lose 18 times and not get blown out of the water in games."

This contradiction is dominating the minds of approx. a third of the people on this forum and I'm getting sick and tired of it.

And I am going to go on record here and say that the last 9 weeks have been against teams not comparable to where we are this year (against the top 8 teams in the league and WC at Subi), and we will come out this week and beat the Coasters on our turf.

A big, fat W this week.

I want us to win 4 or less, but each and every week, I want us to win. I know that makes no sense and is a massive contradiction, but the thing is, I don't really care.

WC winning last week also makes beating them a lot more palatable for me. Also hoping for a win here.

Im in the same boat every week i get all angry and into the game wanting to win. In the end i still want no more than 4 wins.

Also i might chuk on a bet here.

So true. If posters want to Lose 18 games in a season, we will envitable get big blowouts.

The faster we can click off the losses, the better.

A win against Weagles and then I'll like MFC to take 4 weeks off.

In the context of the grand scheme of things we must lose this week and ensure the first 2 picks. A loss this week will be forgotten in a short time but if we miss picking up a player that will help shape our future then this will be a no brainer win.

I think we will win because WCE would also be dumb to miss out on a priority pick for the sake of a pointless win. If nothing else the game should be an intriguing one.

Yes. I am so sick of losing. I just need a win, because I can't see us winning any other games this year.

We could easily beat the Tigers and Freo at the G.

Perhaps even North, although they seem to be our bogey side.

Lets win this one and go back to losing streak after. Win only for the young boys in the side to gain back some of the optimism, self-respect and self belief that they had three games ago!

Is funny, you make it seem like we have a choice in what we do.

There is not a chance in hell that we will win and Nick Natanui will just be laughing at Watts the whole time as he jumps all over him. Assuming he gets a game...

we need to win... for moral building. It's a win win whether we lose or win. If West Coast win they are on 5 wins and no draft pics. if we win , we are only on 2 wins and moral buster . GO DEES

Jack Bauer is a moral buster.

I think you meant morale booster.

For those that see this game as a win-win regardless of the result, you CAN NOT criticise Bailey for winning only 3 or 4 games this season.

If you want picks, and you want to win games - you are a hypocrite who should abstain from discussion of the coach on his win-loss ratio. Because it is that very ratio that will deliver your precious picks.

We'll win against West Coast. We accounted for them easily last year, and I do think we've improved since then.

Wins against Freo, Port and Richmond are also on the table. If we lose one of them, the Priority Pick will be sewn up.

I have to say I am busting for a win. The losing is taking its toll. I'm sick of it. I want something to get excited about. We need a win badly, as a club, as a playing group and as supporters. We can win 4, so why not take one this week?

I'd hate to think what this place will be like next week if we put in another stinker and lose to West Coast. It just can't happen.

We need a win now.

If we go much longer without a win, I'm going to start to think that when we finally do win and the boys sing the club song, there might be more players in the middle of the circle celebrating their first win for the club, than there will be players actually making up the circle.

Ok, that's exaggerating. But still, we need to win.

Just a note, Centrebet has us as $2.16 underdogs to West Coasts $1.70. I might just take a dip at that $2.16.

I doubt we'l beat port or kangas as you've left out, so i think 4 wins is the maximum if all goes well anyway.

We have a very good record against Port in Melbourne. They've only beaten us once. I think we're more likely to beat them, than the Eagles.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
