Portman when she shaves her head in V.....giddy up!

I also think she is awesome in Garden State.

Got Sin City, but Alba whilst very attractive, just blends in with all the other blonde girls and does not stand out amongst them.

Now Scarlett Johansson is a different story :P

I'd love Riewoldt but our backline would be terrible without Frawley. Both guns and better than Gumbleton, Hansen, Brown *2, Reid, Thorp and other talls at this stage from the first round of that super draft, but it is a long way to the finish line.

Looking at Riewoldt I think we can see how quickly forwards can improve when they get some size and confidence in their bodies. Last year Riewoldt just casually led and barely chased, we even played Bartram on him. This year he has confidence to demand the footy and is kicking goals. Hopefully Watts can start to do this over time.

Um...Geelong?

Compare their forward line to their backline.

good point...but geelong has mids...steve j...kicked most goals for cats last year and played less games than cam m...geelong are a fantastic 'team' they know how each other play together. bomber has been quoted as saying mooney is one of his most important players...because if he doesn't fire it puts a lot of pressure on the team to kick a winning score.

doesn't matter if your a defender...you are kicking the ball forward...so everyeone is really a forward.

in melbournes instance...we have a young side.. bails talks about getting games into these young players...put 50-100 games into our young players then it doesn't really matter where they play...because thats experience. experience is something the cats have a lot of....they have a week forward line compared to previous super sides like the hawks in the 80s having dunstall. imagine if Lloydd played in the cats side for the past 5 years...he could have been one of the greatest full forwards of all time.

my inital argument was i didn't agree with defense wins premerships...that's all..

serious...?

most goals/points win i say...football is a simple game stuffed up by footballers...learn that.

I've seen average forward lines in premiership teams. When was the last time a premiership side had an average backline?

I love these draft threads. They are both great picks in my opinion, and I am sure most supporters would be happy to have either one in their team.

Personally, I think Riewoldt is the more talented player but I think Chip ended up being a better pick. Chip is one of the best young defenders in the competition, and its great that he is showing loyalty to the team that selected him by signing the dotted line for 4 year instead of chasing money from GC17/GWS. (I do not know Riewoldt's contract situation, so have NFI if he has re-signed)

With the impending free agency, loyal players will be a factor for all clubs. With all the money and time spent developing young players, it would be a real kick in the guts to see them walk out for more lucrative contracts and for the club to get zero return.

I would still go with chip but jack is a gun!!!

Same. Both look very good at their respective ends of the ground but Frawley looks to be a leader and stable influence while Riewodlt looks to be a Richo style personality. A flawed superstar.

Reiwoldt is another Robbo. NOw, I have never had a problem with Robbo, but many here did so I wonder how they look at this. He is the only forward they have at the moment, hence his big hauls. However, the team would be far better off with a couple of real key forwards for him to work off.

    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.

    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
