Liam moved back up forwards halfway through the quarter. 2 goals in 7-8 minutes and immediately dragged!

Liam is having an amazing match!! Whenever he is up forward he makes things happen.... That is why he is spending time off the ground and time on the wing.... Liam is doing nothing wrong.... He would know this!

Ox just made the most honest statement I have heard all year.....

"If Melbourne had only won 3 matches this year, they would be in front!"

Never a more honest word has been spoken.....

This Melbourne side is a lot better than we are being made to believe!!

Ox just said that if we had more than 4 wins at the moment we would be in front. that is such a good positive for next year.

Actually said if we had only won 3 this year, but it is the same as winning more than 4....

We are being fooled by the Melbourne coaching staff into thinking this side is the worst side in the competition!

Melbourne are better than we are being shown!

i have no doubt there will be improvement next season, but to suggest we can make the 8 is just ridiculous. By saying that you are saying we will an extra 8 games on top of this season :wacko:

as much as we improve the rest of the league will also improve and we only get younger next season...think about it guys

I have thought about it all year. Its very possible if we can get some pace in the midfield, & can start to believe we can win away from the MCG.

This is why i consider it stage 2 for Bails. 2010 will be a new look team post ND.

I have Faith we can reach week 1 September next year. Don't Forget since we played essendon at the Airport earlier this year, Bailey has been coaching with the hand brake on.

Speak to me this time next year. :rolleyes:

This match is just going through the motions now....

All eyes are on Riewoldt, who looks to be struggling with a right knee....

There is something wrong there.... no doubt....

Wheatley is bombing some long ones in from the goal square..... Enjoying his last few kick ins I reckon!!

The Demons have had the hand brake on for months, we are a team with great potential.

Which is why i believe we can play for the eighth spot next year.

As a Club we must aim for that.

Riewoldt kicks his 6th....

If he had've kicked like this in Rounds 20-21 then the Saints would be 22-0 for the year.....

I like the way Frawley has played on him today though.... He can definately walk off with his head held high....

Morton is a magnet.....

Dennis Cometti just commented on the picks Melbourne has in the draft and said "Geez, they will be a contender in 3 years time!"

Hell yes we will Dennis....

Ox just asked Dennis if you would give up pick 2 for Sandilands?? The answer was yes....

I am not so sure...

If this season is anything to go by, then we only need to win another 6 games to make the eight.... Essendon only won 10....

Bring in Maric, Wonna, Grimes, Watts, Green, Petterd and Bate.....

Throw in Pick 1 and 2, and Pick 1 in the PSD.....

You think about it!! ;)

I am pretty sure we will be pushing the eight....

for most of this season we did have Petterd, Green, Bate, Grimes and they made no difference at all. Maric and Watts were available for half of it also, not up to as yet.

Anything above 7 wins is a bonus for this team next season and we build from there

You Forget one Major Factor.

For this entire year in both planning & match day the Hand Brake has been close by.

Players will not be played out of position next year & beyond.

This will make a huge difference.

We are not good enough in our disposals and work rate

In the First Part of the season we had no forward line.

Put Wonna Pettard Jurrah & Watts down there & things could be very different.

The work rate & disposal are improving, We do need more speed in the middle, which is why draft picks are paramount this year.

Nothing is certain in Football but if we have a good run with injuries during the pre season we can aim for a vast improvement.

Playing Games with the Hand Brake on is always going to make disposal look bad.

Lack of Rotations make for tired players.

We will be a new side next year, Yes we will lose a few but so did the 4 sides contesting this years 8.

Look at Port Adelaide. Now they are a disgrace. We can be way better than them.

    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
