Very surprised that Morton was dropped and is still in the 2's.

Jurrah will play

Joel MacDonald should play for casey

Jounson should play for casey

Maric would have to count himself lucky or he's going to prove he's better suited to AFL football.

Don't see Cheney as a long term prospect

Bail deserves more games

I'm a Jetta fan but he needs to do more and I think he will.....eventually

The team needs a big game from Col

Really hope we put on a performance like the Brisbane game. We need to start stamping our authority over the Bombers for they are ordinary at best.

INT: Jurrah, Bail, Cheney, Maric

I do not understand why PJ would be included in the squad against a team with

one good ruckman after showing nothing then getting suspended unless Jamar

is a possible late exclusion. Jamar's last 2 weeks have been questionable..

posibly carrying a niggling injury?

I reckon it's just a simple backup plan. If the unthinkable happened to Jamar, then sure, he'd come in. But I wouldn't be holding my breath.

I have a feeling Maric will be unlucky again. PJ of course and then Jurrah will have one more game in the VFL. Sylvia to come in as an extra forward option, for the omission of Spencer. And Bail for Grimes. Easy Peasy, Japanesy.

I am extremely pumped for this match, almost more so than the QB match against the pies. This is our chance to get back on winning terms but it is by no means a sure thing. We will have to work hard early, get the pressure on them and get goals on the board quickly. I'm looking for big performances out of Jonesy and Beamer as they need to show the way from the start.

For me there are there are a few factors that fall in our favour:

1. It's at the G, and we've looked our best at our home.

2. It's against Essendon, which should naturally fire the boys up similar to the pies.

3. Fletcher out is massive, he always kills us and it gives Watts a better chance.

4. Jamar, he will dominate, simple as that.

One more thing i'm tipping, a very vocal crowed. Let's make sure the boys know we're there for them!

A heads up for all people using the Frankston line (before Mordialloc) to get to the match:

"Due to track maintenance and level crossing upgrade at Bonbeach, buses will replace trains between Mordialloc station and Frankston station for the last two late-night services on Friday 9 July, and all trains between Mordialloc and Frankston on Saturday 10 and Sunday, 11 July 2010.

Journey times will be extended by up to 16 minutes."

I want (and expect) to see Jurrah, Bail, MacDonald, Jetta

I will puke if I see Johnson, Maric, Cheney, MacDonald

I do have a sinking feeling, however, that Johnson has been picked as Jamar is beginning to struggle. The last 2 weeks have been a lot worse for Jamar than the preceeding 12, and given we played Spencer last week the FD might think a second ruckman is needed to help the Russian out. Not my preference however. Not only is PJ useless, but playing him denies someone like Cheney, Jetta or Bail a game, which just doesn't help us at all.

Does anyone know what the FD want Cale Morton to work on? I thought that it was good that they didn't rush him straight back into the seniors. I am one for you being dropped adn playing a couple of games in teh reserves to build your confidence and show that you can perform consistantly etc. No point yo-yoing up adn down. I hope he gets back on track, I really enjoy seeing Morton at full flight. His run and carry moves teh ball 60 metres at a time.

You forgot to mention 2008, wildly regarded as one of the worst umpired games of all time in terms of us getting screwed.

Is that the Lloyd 'Mark of the Year' game when he kicked 8 goals?

Melbourne screwed by the umpires that day???? Wouldn't have thought the umpires were the difference that day.

Surely we dont have to wear that ugly clash jumper since its our home game?

Its our HOME game... we wear OUR HOME jumper !! as simple as that. essendon need only wear their normal jumper and all is fine.. Their clash jumper with more red would be worse. Weve managed to play these guys for a long long while without getting confused !!! ;)

chances are of course the clowns at AFL house will kit out the umps in RED !!!

There most certainly is a clash between the Dees and Bombers IMO. But, given that it's our home game, they should have to wear their clash strip.

People have complained about the clash for years? Are you serious? It's probably one of the most blatant in the league.

Even the 2000 GF I remember saying to my dad that I struggled to pick the two apart.

Exactly, their clash jumper has a wider sash - a wider, red sash. Therefore this jumper will not clash with our mostly dark with a bit of red as much as their usual guernsey, which is...mostly dark with a bit of red.

AFL site has Essendon wearing their Home jumpers, dont tell me were wearing our away jumpers!! :mad:

No, both teams are wearing their home jumpers, and Essendon has undertaken to work with the AFL to develop a clash jumper suitable to wear in away games against Melbourne.

It was accepted that Melbourne had the right to wear their home jumper in this game, and the AFL deemed that Essendon's 'clash' jumper actually caused more of a clash than their home jumper.

    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
