This is my first match prediction for some time, due to my extended holiday courtesy of an over zealous moderator who shall remain nameless.

I know you have all been waiting for this, so here goes...

Since the great YM was last on Demonland, a certain Colin Sylvia has taken the league by storm. As you all know, there has been no bigger supporter of The Kid than my self, and it is an amazing feeling to be vindicated like this. His game against the Hawks was the best individual performance by any Demon this decade. and you would have to go back to Garry Lyons 10 goal haul in the 1994 Semi Final to find something greater.

hang your head in shame all those who wanted him traded, delisted, dropped etc.... Truly embarrassing stuff.

Sylvia is now the Demons best player, and has shown why he was picked 3 in the 2003 National Draft. He simply has it all - pace, strength, aggression, amazing overhead, booming kick.... What a gem.

Now, to this Saturday...

The Eagles come to the MCG, and they will be here without their superstar Dean Cox. With him missing, and with home ground advantage, this automatically gives the Demons a 6 goal head start.

I believe that this week, the forward line will FINALLY cut loose. It has been a long time coming indeed. Now we have some real talent up front, I can see us really having a day out against a woeful Eagles combination.

A win will be important to give the kids hope again, and it will be delivered in style.

THE RESULT

Melbourne - 27.17 179

West Coast - 11.10 76

Goals - Sylvia 8, Jurrah 5, Watts 4, Davey Martin Bate 2, Bennell Morton Grimes Moloney

Best - Sylvia, Jurrah, Morton, Davey, Frawley, Bennell, Watts, Moloney, Grimes

Stats

Sylvia - 28 disposals 11 marks, 8 goals

Jurrah - 18 disposals, 8 marks, 5 goals

Morton - 33 disposals, 7 marks, 1 goal

Davey - 26 disposals, 8 tackles, 2 goals

Watts - 16 disposals, 6 marks, 4 goals

Bennel - 22 disppsals, 1 goal

Grimes - 21 disposals, 7 tackles, 1 goal

Demons by 103 points, and a sweet glimpse into the future.

Have you removed your post about Sylvia saying that you would no longer pump his tyres anymore?

Well sure everything looks bad if you remember it!

It will be interesting to see the result of this match. If we win, the Coasters will say that they did it for the pick and we are not the better team. If we lose then we will all feel pretty avg, but at least we will get picks 1 and 2.

I really want to win this match. I want Morton to smash Masten in possies and Watts to get a game against an avg mob so he can show us his worth

Whilst the mods may have banned you, I'm sure I say on behalf on a number of demonlanders it's great to have you back Yze Magic... You definitely talk a lot of crap, but the place isn't the same without you...

Welcome Back...

Last I heard, Cox is training and should be right to play this weekend.

Welcome back YM...Nice to have some optimism on this forum, missed ya!

However, Eagles are coming off the back of a great win against a hungover Dorks, without Cox.

YM is an entertaining poster who brings colour to the forum.

But his constant bagging of Bruce is beyond an unfunny joke, or an uhealthy obsession.

For example he suggests that Bruce should be dropped this weekend even though he was our second best player V's Brisbane and looked like 1 of about 4 Demon players who looked capable of playing at AFL level last week.

ummm, YM has been all about the kid... was about the only one at one point

No. He has been all about himself. It's only a matter of time b4 he takes another trip to the abyss. He jumped well off Sylvia's bandwagon for a period of time. He can join the queue at the back of the Sylvia bandwagon. As long as he buckles up. Cos I'm the one driving.

He was a strong supporter of the Kid like I was, but it did get to a point when we did jump off for a small amount of time.

Correct.

    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

    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
