The Tigers might be good enough to beat us even with a few of our better players back. I would save the likes of Bail, Hughes and Zomer for the North and Freo games.

no! THIS WEEK is the real danger game.

North are a decent and competitive team. they will beat us. We will beat Freo they are really that terrible.

Thus we absolutely MUST lose this week!

The big problem is Sylvia. Eligible to play this week, but if we're tanking, he shouldn't.

In: Bail/Buckley

Out: Jurrah (inj)

If we must bring in Sylvia, then we have to drop Davey. Those two in the midfield means we might break even.

Sylvia can't go straight back in!

He's underdone after a few weeks off - he must pay his penance and earn his senior spot with a week or 4 in the VFL.

Tanking or not, there's no way Colin won't come straight back into the team.

In regards to changes, i'd like to see anyone who's under ANY sort of injury cloud or niggle be given the week off.

OUT: Jurrah (ankle), Cheney (calf), Martin (injury)

IN: Sylvia, Hughes, Jetta

Ahhh, he has done his "penance" with been out for 3 weeks.

He would be fitter than most of the side - given he has 3 weeks to get over sore spots & has been doing extra tarining sessions due to not playing.

Richmond looked pretty good today. They will be keen to make amends for earlier in the year.

Richmond are better than Sydney.

We are no chance.

From the small amount of posts I have read it seems as though we played pretty [censored] today, and I saw the Richmond game and they played well. I think we will lose by about 30 points so lets not stress.

Again, the angrier you get the harder it will be.

Disappointment would be a better emotion, it'll help you move on.

Remember we're doing this so you can have two shiny toys to play with instead of one. Toys that will help us win lots of games of footy.

True Believer - "But I want to win games of footy now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ok, big guy.

Can somebody get True Believer 'AFL Premiership 2007' on the PS2?

It'll keep him occupied...

How confident are you? Don't kid yourself, the Toigs are a terrible football side, helped by an out-and-out champion who is still capable of stringing a few games together. My concern is that they'll drop off again having won a good one. Are they good enough to put two together? Will Cousins back it up? Will he get injured?

Only one change for this week.

Colin in, take your pick out.

If the past few weeks are a precedent we'll probably have someone suffering an unexpected injury late in the week.

If Cousins plays like he did against Essendon yesterday, we'll struggle but I don't want to give too much away because I think I'm doing this week's match report.

Sylvia should have 1 run at Casey before returning. Why rush him in? Will play against Freo.

Not sure on how bad Jurrahs injury is but if he is not 100 % dont play him!

Would like not to make any unforced changes.

Need to look at certain players that are on the fringe before the season ends and that includes a few from the team yesterday.

Richmond will get confidence with the win they had, they have played decent for the last three weeks now.

5 weeks of pain to go! Short term pain...Long term gain!

Come on Dees!

Don't get complacent. They've had their win and will be happy with themselves.

Port was great against the Lions and then served up slop against us. Bottom teams do that. Bulldogs 07.

It's a critical 4 weeks.

Have your pick for INS. OUT: Davey

Sylvia will come back in....

I want to see Rohan Bail, Simon Buckley and Danny Hughes get a run.

Especially Hughes. Think he would be quite good in the seniors.

If anyone is injured they should be rested.... any niggles at all.

Perhaps Bruce and Davey could have a bad stitch!!

    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
