Not looking good so far bloody Carlton, we will end up 9th after round 5 the way things are looking. Gee will we regret loosing that game against collingwood towards the end of there year I wonder? I was super impressed with the way we played that day and was not so dissapointed in the loss until now! Oh well it's exciting anyhow too want too win so bad and be challenging for the top 8 albeit it being so early in the season

With Geelong 5 goals down at half time looks like we'll be knocked out of the eight. That is unless the Blues win by 50+ points and then we'll overtake Geelong.

Really so cats would drop out?? Go blues than

Just goes to prove that pressure versus complacency wins no matter who is playing

Blues doing very well but the test is to keep up the pressure because Geelong will comes back hard

Melbourne will be concentrating on North not the result of this game

I reckon that the way we are playing and the way the Hawks are playing at the moment we would just about reverse that defeat. That was the biggest disappointment by far this year.

Eh, who cares? Being just outside the 8 at this time of the season doesn't really matter. Actually, being outside the 8 at any time besides the end of round 22 doesn't matter.

Of course not. But it sure would be nice in terms of being able to stick it up some Carlton/Hawthorn/Essendon fans. But alas, we must wait yet another week.

Well they won. By 36. That won't be enough to bring Geelong below us. So we stay 9th. Considering we're only 1 game (and percentage) behind Sydney who's on top, it's a pretty close competition.

Its always going to be a close competition at round 5.

MFC next 7 games, I see a possible 3-4 wins there. By this stage we will know how well MFC will be traveling. I feel that MFC have great depth in the list and will be pushing right up the ladder come next season (fingers crossed for this season). As I have mentioned elsewhere, MFC to become what they will, will need to beat the top sides or put in a real fight. And so far they have proved this against Collin-Fail & the Lions.

NORTH MELBOURNE Etihad (A)

WESTERN BULLDOGS MCG (H)

WEST COAST EAGLES MCG (H)

PORT ADELAIDE TIO (A)

GEELONG CATS Skilled (A)

CARLTON MCG (A)

COLLINGWOOD MCG (H)

I reckon we can win 6 of the next seven, with some key players such as Morton, Wonna and Rivers coming back over the next four weeks.

But the way the Blues played today they seem to have taken a leaf out of our playbook although if the Cats had have kicked straight it may well have been a different story. The Blues though in my book still lack in some key areas where we excel eg their mid field is not excessively quick, they go round the flanks instead of the corridor and they rank mid list in terms of tackling. They are beatable.

Carefactor ...

Takes no gloss at all off the win in my eyes.

Obviously not, that would just be stupid, but pushing Carlton out of the 8 by winning and them getting done over by Geelong would have just been sweet icing on the cake.

Never mind though, I'd rather beat them in Round 11 :)

Hope Geelong wins today so we stay in the 8 at the end of the round. Also good to be ahead of Carlton and Hawthorn.

Interesting isn't it? We lose and rise 4 places after our effort in round 2. We have a brilliant win against Brisbane, improve our % markedly but drop out of the 8. Imagine how disappointed we would have been if this happened in round 22. Ladder position or not the Dees were magnificent on Saturday night.

You win a game by 50 points, nearly double the score of your heretofore undefeated opposition, and you go from 9th to.... 9th.

Hate that. :D

Especially considering that our Round 2 loss moved us up 4 spots!!

Yet, we could lose by 6 or 7 goals this coming week and remain...9th. However, a win will..... . :)

I am glad we got knocked out of the 8 at the end of the round.

Just proves to the kids that the work must keep on going.

We must treat North with Respect & Contempt-no more slack games.

Set up our friday night Home Game as a "Block Buster" (40,000 Members is very possible) B)

    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.
