I have a feeling there will be some changes, but maybe not the ones we might think.

I think the obvious In, is Sylvia if passed fit.

But who else? I wonder if newboy Gysberets, will find his way?

Cheney/Yes or No?

Martin I feel Rnd 4.

Gysberets is so new i've never even heard of him!! :wacko:

Sylvia you'd say would be in if fit. He'll take someones spot. Someone else may come in to replace someone else. Take that to the bank!

Jack Watts? why not give him a crack?

Watts is injured for a few weeks.

I think we have to go in imagining that we're playing Collingwood, because we REALLY want to beat them and that's why we played so well on Saturday.

Sylvia in for Newton. Dunn to stay forward. In effect a little shuffle.

Newton may be hard done by, only getting one game. But he isn't going to be given solid chances until he can shown some of his VFL at AFL level, and has to deal with that because it is simply fair enough.

Rivers (if fit) in for... I guess Bennell, leaving Bail and Bartram to stay as the small defenders, since they are actually defenders and the message of preferring their ethic is important.

(No hard feelings at Bennell, I just think he needs time spent at the lower level focusing on defining his role)

I Watts to see Watts in full flight just as much as the next guy Watts to see Watts do Watts Watts does best- but whilst Watts Watts be ready for a couple more Watts we will just have to Watts this space, I mean Watts else can we do?

I would Watts to hope we have the same Watts to beat every team just as badly as the next. I don't think we should go in imagining that were playing Collingwood.. the matchups will be all wrong for a start.... WATTS!!

Go Dees.

Bring Martin in to pick up Tippet? Tippet usually has a day out against Melbourne.

He kicked five goals in the NAB Challenge match we played against them, but I think three were gifted to him from free-kicks. Warnock played on him, so if we're going to bring Martin in, I'd prefer it to be to replace Newton. But I'd keep Newton in for at least another week for the sake of team continuity.

There are 3 players that will potentially have a day out if we don't pounce early - Tippet, Walker and Dangerfield. Whilst I respect the rest of the team, the gut-wrenching run that our youngsters now provide, will be too much for the older brigade. Hopefully DB will get the message across, run, run, RUN.

Newton must stay in. He was good on Saturday, providing plenty of hard blocking for Pettard and Green. Depending on match ups, the only change would be Sylvia for Bartram.

Munchie is a beastmaster who feeds on the blood of his pray.. don't be fooled by his dosile appearance- he feasts on the hopes and dreams of our competitors.

Actually he reminds me of that old yellow pages recycling monster man. Remember when they tried to make recycling fun by dressing up industrial bins like Barney the dinosaur? Ahh the 90's.. simpler times, with a simple society, coaxing us into doing the right things with the aid of fictional characters and bright colours. Obviously drugs were rife

I want our best defender in his FACE from opening bounce! I don't want him to gain ANY confidence whatsoever! I want Frawley on him and he must wear him like a glove!!

Tippet hasn't taken off this year yet, he can do this next week! I say this regardless that he is on my supercoach team- thats how much I love the dees, i'm sacrificing my accomplishments in a meaningless internet game!!

Looks like he feasts on Passion Fruit Ice Cream ;)

    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 sta

    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

    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
