I'm up on the Gold Coast and I'm off to see the Scorpions play Gold Coast at Southport tomorrow.

It's going to be tough missing the Dees game at Etihad but the warm weather and the fact that I can tape the game which is shown live here is some consolation.

I've done a little bit of detective work and am pretty sure that Jared Rivers is a designated emergency for the AFL game at Etihad.

It appears that he didn't fly up with the Casey players this afternoon because at around 5pm on Twitter he announced:

"Just hitting up the movies with the boys."

A few of the "boys" (including Nathan Jones and Ricky Petterd) went to see Iron Man 2. After viewing that pap they should be ready to kill tomorrow.

My guess is that Jake Spencer will also remain in Melbourne as an emergency for the North game and, if not required, will play in the ruck on Sunday for the Casey 2's where he was also selected.

I don't know whether the VFL rules limit teams to 12 AFL listed players against Gold Coast but if they do then Rohan Bail could also miss out.

Still, it will be a good opportunity to view how Jack Watts is travelling!

It's a beautiful day on the Gold Coast with the temperature expected to reach the high 20's.

I haven't seen the ground before but, with conditions like these, I would expect the roof will definitely be off :) !

My spies tell me that Rohan Bail is up here but he may not have recovered from his quad injury. I think it's likely that the Scorps will go in with 12 Demons in the team as per the starting 18 minus Rivers.

Just got home from the game. For the first time in forty years parked the car beside the boundary fence, and watched the game from the comfort of the front seat. Was able to greet each Casey goal with a long blast of the horn. Great fun! (Pity about the ABC commentary of the Melb match to put a real downer on the day!)

Was my first VFL match, so can't comment too much on the quality of the game. But, the scores were pretty close all day, and the two teams seemed to have a pretty even tussle of it.

Have to say wasn't actually overwhelmed by the performances of most of the Melb players. Must admit was hard for my old eyes to pick up a lot of the play on far side of the ground. But from what I did see:

Miller -- Apart from a couple of excellent goals, thought he was ordinary at this level,

Newton -- About the same as Miller,

Watts -- Really didn't do much, either.

Maric -- couple of nice things, but nothing to get excited about,

Jetta -- Rarely sighted. Couple of good chases, but almost seemed disinterested on occasions,

Gysberts -- Did a few nice things, but again nothing startling,

Cheney -- did some nice things, and was solid in defence,

Strauss -- as per Cheney,

Johnson -- again, nothing spectacular,

Hughes -- thought he was just about the best of the Melb listed players. Did some really good things.

Healey -- didn't see much of him.

Bell -- Hardly sighted.

McNamara -- did a few nice things.

Spoke to Casey runner before the game. He said Bail is still struggling with a real bad corkie, so unable to play.

So, from my point of view, a good, workan-like performance from the team to run out winners by about a goal. But, alas, didn't really see any performances where any of the Melb players stood up and demanded a place in the Melb side next week. But, I can stand corrected!

Also, was great to meet Whispering Jack at half time and have a good chat. Didn't realise he was Andy's old man!

Anyway, think I'll now watch just the third quarter of the Melb match...!

    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
