Eagles, Seahawks, Saints for me @Macca

You are doing well in the comp first time up DZ ... in fact,  you're in the lead! (along with 11 others)

For whatever reason we haven't seen a lot of strong teams on the road against weak opposition so far ... plus,  I'm not sure there are many 'pushover' teams about anyway.  And a few of the traditionally strong teams are performing below par as well. 

There were 5 road winners in week 3 but 3 of the 5 were complete outsiders - especially the Bills & Giants.  It's a tipsters nightmare at the moment.

In other news it looks like we could see a relaxing of the strict new interpretation of 'roughing the passer' ...  NFL Competition Committee members reportedly uncomfortable with roughing the passer calls

Are you kidding me Dolphins???? Unbelievable finish, one of the best plays I’ve seen in a while.

I had nigh on given up when that pass went there. My thoughts on the game, Rams did well stifling their run and run pass option, but our offence just couldn’t finish. I couldn’t believe that hit

Lions, Eagles and chiefs for me in wk 4. 

Gutted about Jimmy G, niners season officially back in the toilet. Crowd numbers at Santa Clara already really low due to fans having to stare into the blazing sun all afternoon in that awfully thought out stadium. Now without their marquee name can't see crowds flocking to see CJ start

I miss Candlestick sometimes. It was a dump but it was our dump.

There you go Gorg. Even the bookmakers...

I don't think the Eagles were ever even close to this much of a fancy. Your head must be spinning.

No Talib and Peters for a month, whitwirth limped off the last two mins, no Greg the Leg and the kicker they got in was poo. JoJo is doing a good punt return for Cooper until his return. Our injuries are mounting, glad we took a punt on Sam shields, going to be well needed the next month.

I KNEW you'd say that. They're another 5-6 injuries from being brought back to the pack. Donald and Gurley are #1 in the league in their positions. No-one can figure out McVay, Goff is quietly achieving... WRs are flying all over the place. They're in superb shape.

Dappa, I’m a pessimist... I always see the holes. Diggs worries me this week prior to them going down. My thought is that now the throwing game will be more on the agenda vs us it might give Donald and Suh more chances at the QB.

 

TBH I now think we are like the chiefs where our O will have to just keep scoring big. Def have the weapons to do so.

Got a tough run coming up to.

Vikes, Seahawks, Broncos, niners, packers, saints, Seahawks, chiefs.

hoping Peters is back by broncos- Niners games as Talib will miss them all.

Hopefully the Eagles will still be thereabouts later in the year. That will be game of the season.

Say what! Wasn't Peters originally just a week to week thing?

Last years was pretty good til the injury

Yeah it was, but if this year both sides can be up and running by that stage... it will be better. Be great if it ciould not be overshadowed by injury events.

A new page so here are the games again ... Public holiday in Victoria tomorrow so we locals get a chance to watch the Vikes @ Rams game live.  Ideal.  Vikings are at Philadelphia next week so they'll need to get a move on after dropping a game to the Bills at home.

Only the 1 point on offer for 3 correct 'Road' winners this week so good luck all.

    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.
