Who did you tip for the final before last week ? Be honest.

I'm always honest-- genuinely thought HT v's D/L7 was the huge game of the finals.Whoever one would go very close to pulling it off.Both of you had strong teams.D/L7 has recrited/traded extremely well over the last few weeks .,giving him great flexibility. He has very capable defenders, Centres, strong forwards, and a reasonable but improved ruckman.But, overall a very strong team. Dappa, with Sandilands is a very hard team to beat, one really has to play a tandem to beat him. However, JA , the premier last Year will be hard to beat.However, the brothers will work together G/F week to help each other..

Thanks for your support OMR- but truthfully D/L 7 has the team to beat me..he recruited very well.-beat me to the punch in picking up form boy- David Mackay whom played very well last week. He is on the boil with huge momentum.All the best with your match this week.Very interesting tussle b/w the two brothers..

MY prediction in the Brother Rivalry Prelim is Jack Attack.

This is based on nothing more than he beat me in our only matchup & I slammed Dappa Dan in our only matchup.

Agreed it will be a very close sibling clash.

Now you sound a little unsure about your chances against Demonland7.

He does have a very good team & is a strong UF Coach however,

I will throw your own advice back at you that helped turn my season around.

"Hold your Nerve" & NEVER EVER give up.

If by some chance things go pear shaped this weekend, GO DOWN SWINGING

Thanks for your advice mt friend-- you can count on me NEVER GIVING UP & I will go down fighting... but one has to be realistic..I rate D/L7 a even money favourite to win the G/F..he held off against Robbo--Robbo will fight another day..Robbo actually was a bit stiff.. I have picked a team that on paper does not get within coee of D/l7 but I will give him a real run for his money..

Against the spirit of the competition HT

I would be leading the chant for a lifetime ban for both parties concerned if unfolded.

However agree is a loophole for cheats

Totally agree- there is enough with brotherly love in this comp as it is---without even contemplating anything like this.

Thinking about dropping Beau Waters for his poor display, got off at the tribunal too.

Not happy with Griffen's output either.

The door was well open, now it has fallen off its hinges.

Yep- unfortunately Dappa- you look gone--as do I. D/L 7 seems too strong and Robbo stated my old team definately seem slowing down at the wrong time and are looking for a rest..looks like I will be playing Dappa for 3rd place.

Yup. No Crameri either. That's two defenders both of whom were ranked around 100 for much of the season.

Ouch. Drop Sandi and I'm done for sure.

Don't listen to your younger brother-- he is just trying to get you down.. however I really think you are in trouble - grab Grima or someone like him to bolster your backline..deep trouble if you don't..look forward to meeting you for playoff for 3rd..

you're actually the worlds biggest pessimist JCB. you finished top of the ladder and expecting to lose to the guy who came 7th!

You're the annoying AFL coach who always claims to be the underdog!!

Haha just realised there was consolation finals! Mind you not sure how legit they are - both myself and the guys I've played against the last 2 weeks haven't been touching our teams!

Good luck to the finalists! Good to see my bro get knocked out last weekend - I don't think I would have heard the end of it had he won :lol:

Been a fun and firey year - looking forward to next year! (And I promise to set the draft to auto pick in case I am not at the computer next time :))

I am a realist- you have a very strong team---But I am a Barker and whilst I am an underdogI'll fight like HELL.

That would be..6th.

Although he did lose badly to the guy who came 7th. :)

Shook him up and he then finished 1st.

You're welcome. (bows)

Take it easy on him DL_7. He's one who likes to 'tick the boxes'.

Didn;t tick the box this round made a pivotal coaching mistake taking Jolly instead of Ottens in the ruck- a major coaching mistake.

I was shocked this morning reading how poorly Jolly played last night. Guess the poor guy was against Sandi!

I wasn't trying to be rude btw JCB you're one of my favourites on here.. just meant you need to have more confidence in your team!!

I took the criticsm well- I was just realistic-- your team is/was far too good for mine-and with my star player also withdrawing left a huge hole.Far too good for me and all the best for the G/F..YOU DESERVE IT..but watch out you are playing the brothers!.

Congrats to Dappa & D/L7..got beaten by just plain bad luck..in the end by one tackle and without my star player Sam Mitchell not playing whom averages at least 5 tackles a game. That's life - thanks for having me in the league , great fun and look forward to next year. Best of luck to Dappa & D/L7 in the Grand final.

    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
