Not sure if this needs a thread of its own, but I think it's pretty big news if he misses. He normally kills Melbourne when we play them.

Also noted of the Adelaide website that Neil Craig isn't expecting the Crows to show form until Round 4+. Would be nice to get a win against them just before they hit their peak.

Edit: Crows calling it a corked knee.

Excellent. I was scouting them on TV on the week-end, and noticed that he was not right. Something wrong with his knee. Burton was poor too, so that should go in our favour as he's killed us many at time over at AAMI.

I wish them all the best in their recoveries. With that out of the way, WOOHOO! I'm gonna high five the dog that's awesome news. Hopefully their midfield come down with Polio and Neil Craig gets the plague. Nah, get well soon.. Go DEES!

i think i would rather he got through on a last minute fitness test, because he looked very slow and under done on the weekend.

i would also be happy if Knights and Van Berlo played as i think they would both be under done also

I wouldn't be celebrating anything. As soon as we do that, we switch off mentally.

Go out there with our own agenda, & then beat whoever rolls up for the opposition.

Lance Franklin & a few others didn't play for the Thugs in Round 1, & look what happened....

If the players did that, I'd be mad at them. But what's the harm in me doing it? It's not as though my attitude will affect how the players play.

I have followed the Demons for too long. When the MFC are Favorites we seem to always lose & usually badly.

This is a Public Forum, who knows who reads these Rants??

Give the opposition nothing except directions back to the airport sunday night Chook!!

Sportsbet.

Head to Head

Demons - 2.60

Crows - 1.50

Seems to me that most people on this site seems to think we are favorites, it's pretty clear that we aren't and after coming off one great game doesn't mean that we should be favorites. Look at Essendon they had a good game against geelong except for the last quarter and then got thumped by freo.

IF the boys play well, they can beat anybody they have. It's more a matter of weather the dee's show up, our own worst enemy.

IF the boys play like they did vs collingwood, than it dosen't matter who they have. :)

We're in danger of being 'hit on the rebound' just like we hit Collingwood.

Adelaide have a LOT to lose this week.

0-3 means major problems for any top-4 chances which Adelaide might still pretend to have.

Still, if we come in thinking 'we've got a chance to hunt this lot down', we might just do it.

Interesting Stat that FC bought up last night

Round 1 The Lowest Interchange Rotations

Round 2 The Highest Rotations

I think DB is onto something! B)

Green being knocked out wouldve been a big part of that.

Does that make it fair to say an injury like his would've put us at a significant disadvantage against the hawks?

On triple M, I think it was Danny Frawley, before the cats game yesterday i heard say that a game-ending injury in the 1st quarter increases a team's chances of losing by 10%.

I think it is even more.

It has been a while since we have beaten the crows. Even with some poor form and Goodwin out I think we would still have to play some damn good footy to get over the line.

Could be an interesting game.

We ran Adelaide around in a practice game over there in a pretty feral environment. A little bit of inexperience and some poor umpiring cost us that game. It'll be different at the "G" with plenty of red and blue support and a team of youngsters that are beginning to believe.

Could be part of the answer, although he did come back on later.

I just found it amazing we went from one extreme to the other and the score lines were also so extreme.

    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
