Hope you're right Balls! I can tell you one thing - unlike a majority or people in here, I will be delighted if J Brwn doesn't make it this weekend. He is a great player who is a proven match winner off his own boot. He was going to be a tough match-up, Frawley is the obvious answer for Fev, Garland and Joel Mac to take Staker and Brennan, would have left Warnock on Brown which I was a bit nervous about, especially seems Brown likes to go up the ground a bit (I think if he plays/played out of the goal square Warnock would be capable).

We still have a lot of work ahead of us, but the task in considerably easier if he doesn't play. It will still show where our list is at at the moment, and will give us a slight chance to be 3-2 by the end of the long weekend.

If he is injured, maybe its better he plays???? Target the injury-make him feel it. Put him off his game. Interesting situation either way.

I recall Frawlery playing on Fevola in about round 18 last year. Kept him virtually kickless until Bailey took him off! I recall the ABC broadcasting the match and describing Frawley's frustration as Fevola got back into the match and ended up kicking quite a few.Frawley's the man for Fev in my vies.

Brennan could be a big threat now

Spot on, I remember the game, Jamar kicked 5, and Carlton were looking decidedly ordinary : Bails got nervous about the upset, so bye-bye Chipper. Notice how I didn't mention the word 'tank'...........oops!

You see, the thing about Melbourne supporters is they take pride in edumacation.

It stops them from doing dumb stuff like comparing Jack Watts to Luke Molan, then mouthing off about 'contributing to the progress of the team of the red and the blue'.

Most of the time.

Pure gold .. LMAO

I can't believe we have only played the Lions at the G once since 2000. That was last year and we won by a point. Amazing stat.

That's a ripper stat. I've been telling everyone whose questioned me on our chances this weekend that we haven't lost to the Lions at the G in ten years...no further explanation required.

According to AFL teams (Fox Sports) he will have a fitness test 4pm friday. Parkin is adamant he won't play for what that is worth.

The Lions are training about a block from my work at 4, might have to sneak out early and he see how he trains..with a close eye on Black at the same time

He didn't train. So if it was meant to be a fitness test it didn't happen. Black is also under a cloud even though he trained. I suspect both won't play. Voss gave the biggest hint when he said it is a long season and they have to be careful with their players in relation to injuries.

Well if neither play Brisbane will have 0 Premiership players in their team.

First time since 2003 someone told me.

That doesn't make sense.

If Brown nor Black play, Brisbane will have no premiership players tonight.

Yeah, if Brown and Black are both withdrawals, then Brisbane won't have any premiership players in its team tonight. And someone told me that this would be the first time that his has happened since they won their most recent flag (i.e. every match Brisbane's played since that Grand Final, they've had at least 1 premiership player in their team).

I dunno about all these injuries. No Power, and let's say Brown and Sherman... and Black is underdone. Who have we beaten? Don't get me wrong, posters here have changed my mind... we certainly are more desperate for wins than honourable losses... But Jesus.

Ah. It was the 2003 I didn't agree with, you'd have to go back to '01 at least

Oops, well the point is still valid, it's been a while since they've fielded a team without a premiership player.

There are murmurings by Lions supporters that Sherman is out with a corky.

That would help more than Black being out IMO. Black's not been in the greatest of form this year, and he'd be somewhat underdone if he did play. Sherman's been good for them this year.

I'll still take the win thankyou very much. We're not a finals team. Every win's a good win.

Even if Black, Brown and Sherman are all out, who cares? They're still an undefeated team with players like Fevola, Brennan, Drummond, McGrath, Rich, Leuenberger, Johnstone. There's plenty of talent outside of their injured players, and they're a finals, and premiership contender, which we aren't. Ergo, beating them, despite their injuries, will be a good win for the club.

In a way I agree with you Dan, it would be preferred to win against top teams who are full strength.

On the other hand, we're owed a bit of a luck don't you think?

What he's saying is that every game from the 2003 premiership until now they have had at least 1 premiership player playing.

Good stat that. They'll have as much experience as us! In fact we'll have more because Green played in the 2000 GF.

    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

    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.
